SUMMARY
=======
If the 1000 separator under Control Panel's International option is disabled,
then the Memory/KB Free reading under Help's About Program Manager will truncate
the last three digits. File sizes on the status bar of the File Manager will
also be truncated at the left-most comma.
For example, if the separator is enabled, then the About Program Manager memory
reading is 12,567K free. With the separator disabled, About Program Manager
reports 12K free. In the File Manager, a swapfile of 20,480,000 bytes would be
reported as 20 bytes on the status bar only. File sizes in the directory windows
are displayed correctly.
This problem can also be seen in File Manager, Write, Notepad, and any other
Windows-based application using Windows 3.1's common help box.
