Introduction introduces the subject matter of this
manual.

Supported Native Languages describes the character sets
supported and the language-dependent characteristics of each.
- Chapter 3
Native Language Support in MPE XL describes the
utility programs, system intrinsics, and the Application Message
Facility components of NLS.
- Chapter 4
NLS in the Subsystems describes the NLS features within
subsystems which provide the tools necessary for the design of
local language applications.
- Chapter 5
Accessing NLS Features describes how to access features
through application programs or interactively by the user of a
subsystem program.
- Chapter 6
Implicit Language Choices in Subsystems describes how
to designate a default language other than Native-3000 for the
subsystems.
- Chapter 7
Application Programs Accessing NLS describes the
possible application models available for single language
applications, multilingual applications, and subsystem utility
programs.
- Appendix A
Character Sets identifies the characters sets supported
by NLS.
- Appendix B
Collating Sequences explains and identifies the collating
sequence used by NLS.

Converting 7-Bit to 8-Bit Data identifies the
peripherals that must be converted and the conversion utilities
available to convert from 7-bit to 8-bit operation.
- Appendix E
Application Guidelines identifies the
supported programming languages and specific guidelines for each.
