*** WARNING ***\n\
-This version of sort honors the locale settings in your environment.\n\
-For example, if you set one of the LANG or LC_ALL environment variables\n\
-to `en_US', then sort will work very differently than most people expect.\n\
-If that's not what you want, then set LC_ALL to POSIX in your environment.\n\
+The locale specified by the environment affects sort order.\n\
+Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses native byte values.\n\
