CONFIGURATION section.

• the OBJECT-COMPUTER paragraph, which describes the computer configuration on which the runtime module produced by the compiler is to be run;
• the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph, which provides a means for specifying the currency sign, choosing the decimal point, specifying symbolic-characters, relating system-names to user-specified mnemonicnames, relating alphabet-names to character sets or collating sequences, and relating class-names to sets of characters;
