| # Cultural Compiler (salccomp) |

Documentation about the file formats, etc used by salccomp is contained in the Resources section of these notes.

This utility program is effectively specified by the two ISO/IEC standards involved (ISO/IEC 14651 and 14652 - see ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG20 home page for references). In addition to producing compiled cultural specifications salccomp also produces a file containing three culturally dependent groups of components needed by the implementation :-

- Various 'punctuation' character codes for use in the library.
- Codes/characters used by the operating system interface to indicate file modes - using the relevant encoding.
- Syntactic marks used by the operating system to construct syntactically correct path names - using the relevant encoding.
