This file gives a short description of the Messages files.

There is a unique message file for each territory. The files name
is equal to the territory number UK is 0, Germany is 7 ...

The files syntax is rather easy,

- the first word in a line is the absolute exception number
- the rest of the line is evaluated by the forth interpreter.
  The word X'word always hold the "last-read-word" before the
  exception took place.
