BTW, some message files have a “.cat” suffix, and are generated by gencat(1). Some OS’s offer a command that can dump those binary files back in a text form that can be edited and resubmitted to gencat. That command is called “dspcat”. Solaris doesn’t have that command, so I recreated it a long time ago according to my understanding of another OS’s man page for it (I never actually used it on the other OS). On anything other than Solaris, it’s brute force, which can be quite slow if the message set numbers or message numbers are very sparse, since the library routines only provide for retrieving a message by message set and message number, not for enumerating the existing messages. On Solaris, I could examine the binary format and enumerate the contents, so it’s got code to make it much faster there. If anyone might need it, a copy is at
http://www.smart.net/~rlhamil/goodies/dspcat.tar.gz That’s no big deal when one has full source for everything, but I’d needed it when I wanted to tweak a copy of dthello.cat back when CDE was still closed.
