I tried this with 03.04.02 from Debian unstable and found that the
variables a sensitive to locale:
$ echo 'SET $Latitude "40.68933"' | LC_NUMERIC=C remind -
No reminders.
$ echo 'SET $Latitude "40.68933"' | LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 remind -
-stdin-(1): Type mismatch
No reminders.
$ echo 'SET $Latitude "40,68933"' | LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 remind -
No reminders.
@Dianne could you add a comment to the documentation the one needs to
use a comma depending on the locale?
Cheers Jochen
