counterparts `string-lessp' and `string-equal'.
+*** The ls-lisp package uses `string-collate-lessp' to sort file names.
+If you want the old, locale-independent sorting, customize the new
+option `ls-lisp-use-string-collate' to a nil value.
+
+*** The MS-Windows specific variable `w32-collate-ignore-punctuation',
+if set to a non-nil value, causes the above 2 functions to ignore
+symbol and punctuation characters when collating strings. This
+emulates the behavior of modern Posix platforms when the locale's
+codeset is "UTF-8" (as in "en_US.UTF-8"). This is needed because
+MS-Windows doesn't support UTF-8 as codeset in its locales.
