_TCHAR * s2 = _T("Das ist weizzz.");
int result1 = use_facet<collate<_TCHAR> > ( loc ).
compare (s1, &s1[_tcslen( s1 )-1 ], s2, &s2[_tcslen( s2 )-1 ] );
cout << isalpha (_T ( '\x00df' ), loc ) << result1 << endl;
locale loc2 ( "C" );
int result2 = use_facet<collate<_TCHAR> > ( loc2 ).
compare (s1, &s1[_tcslen( s1 )-1 ], s2, &s2[_tcslen( s2 )-1 ] );
cout << isalpha (_T ( '\x00df' ), loc2 ) << result2 << endl;
locale loc3 = loc2.combine<collate<_TCHAR> > (loc);
int result3 = use_facet<collate<_TCHAR> > ( loc3 ).
compare (s1, &s1[_tcslen( s1 )-1 ], s2, &s2[_tcslen( s2 )-1 ] );
cout << isalpha (_T ( '\x00df' ), loc3 ) << result3 << endl;
