The HP C RTL provides capabilities to allow application developers to create international software. The HP C RTL obtains information about a language and a culture by reading this information from 'locale' files. This kit contains all of the supported locale files. The kit also contains a set of Unicode codeset converters which allows conversion between any supported codeset, including DEC Multinational Character Set and Microsoft Code Page 437, to any flavor of Unicode encoding: UCS-2, UCS-4 or UTF-8. The locale and codeset converters support requires HP C V5.0 or higher in order to develop new applications utilizing this support. If you are using these HP C RTL capabilities, you must install the VMSI18N kit on your system. This kit is provided on the same media as your OpenVMS kit. Refer to the Guide to OpenVMS CD-ROMs for the location of this kit. Please review the release notes for the VMSI18N kit prior to installation. To install this saveset, follow the standard OpenVMS installation procedures using this saveset name as the name of the kit.
