When using java.util.Locale.toString() method
on Korean Windows95, "KO" is returned as a country
ID for Korean.
I understand the right country ID for Korean is "KR".
I am now using JDK1.1.3.

Source***************
java.util.Locale locale=java.uti.Locale.getDefault();
System.out.println("The locale is" + locale.toString();

Output***************
>The locale is ko_KO
    
Is this a known bug with
JDK1.1.3. If so, please tell me when the fix is
available.

A licensee has a similar problem :

  "We are experiencing difficulties with JDK1.1.3 on a Korean WinNT4.0 machine.
 The problem is with the locale.

 For example: System.out.println(Locale.getDefault()); returns ko_KO.
 All the documentation we have from Sun specifies ko_KR as being
 the correct locale for Korean / Korea. This problem is affecting the naming
 of our resource bundles.

 If the same sample code is run on my English NT machine, I get the same
 exact errors. If I change the locale (.setDefault(Locale.JAPANESE) and run this
 on my English machine (or Korean machine), everything works fine."
