SCO is Santa Cruz Operation -- big PC commercial UNIX vendor;
bought UnixWare from Novell, and is integrating SCO's version
of UNIX (OpenServer) with UnixWare (which is a descendent of
AT&T's UNIX).

NLS is National Language Support; i.e., messages from the
program are displayed in your choice of tongues.

Per my NetBSD man page for catgets():
NAME
  catgets - retrieve string from message catalog
...
STANDARDS
     The catgets() function conforms to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 3
     (``XPG3'').
