In this catalog, there are three message sets deﬁned from those speciﬁed in the message source ﬁle.

When displaying messages from this catalog, the dspmsg command uses numbers as set and message

identiﬁers. For example:

% dspmsg -s 1 PFF.cat 1

Welcome to the Product Fact Finder program!

The following script illustrates the use of symbols for default message strings. By default,

dspmsg

searches for message catalogs ﬁrst in the appropriate locale directory subordinate to /usr/lib/nls/msg and

then in the current directory:

#! /bin/sh

# test_dspmsg.sh

. ./PFF_msg.sh
