# 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.
