Q: How can I tell what NLS Catalog File (.CAT) goes with which (Sub)Application?
Problem
There are many NLS Message Catalog (CAT) files shipped with VA Smalltalk. How can I find the (sub)application associated with a particular CAT file?
Solution
The following 3 tables cross-reference (Sub)Applications, NLS pool dictionaries, and Catalog files.
