I'm porting an HP-UX utility to MPE/iX (5.5 and 6.0).
We use message catalogs for language localization,
calling setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, NULL) to determine
and set the catalog directory for the system language.
However, the MPE/iX library doesn't include the
LC_MESSAGES option for setlocale().  It's not
apparent to me then what the proper way is to determine
language locale on MPE/iX (posix shell).

Also, the return for the existing setlocale() options
are different than we expect.  Typically we get "C" as
a return string (e.g., on HP-UX), however on MPE/iX the
string returned by setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, NULL), for
example, is "/:C;/", which seems odd.

Anyone have experience with message catalog use in
the posix shell for MPE/iX?  I can't find much documentation
on this.

Thanks,

Dean Cashen
