 | AUDITED | ORIG+FIX | nwnss.codepage, nwnss.unicode | `src/nwnss/nsslnxlib/nwlocale.c` | Compared with original `public_core/nsslnxlib/nwlocale.c`; CP437 locale tables and OS codepage defaults kept. Differences are whitespace/diff-check cleanup only. |

It preserves the NSS `.TAB` layout and public entry points (`UniGetTable`, `UniGetMacintoshTable`, `loc2uni`, `uni2loc`, case helpers), but replaces kernel file/lock/memory primitives with libc file I/O and process-local state. Search path is build-tree/generated tables, source `third_party/unicodeTables/TAB/unitables`, install datadir, plus `MARS_NWE_NWNSS_UNITABLE_DIR` override. |

The `.TAB` files are generated by `third_party/unicodeTables/scripts/gen_nss_unitables.py` from Unicode.org data rather than copied from Novell sources. The generated files are loader-compatible, not intended to be byte-identical to Novell `shared/sdk/unitables`: local comparison showed common DOS/Mac mappings usually match, while generated Unicode.org tables omit some Novell/private extras; generated `UNI_000.TAB` contains all original lower-case mappings and all but one original upper-case mapping identically, with extra newer BMP case pairs from UnicodeData.txt. The table search path is configured at CMake time into a generated private `nwnssConfig.h` from `MARS_NWE_NWNSS_UNITABLE_DIRS`, or defaults to build generated tables, bundled generated tables, and install datadir; `MARS_NWE_NWNSS_UNITABLE_DIR` remains a runtime override for test/local use. |
