Hi Simon,

I just found this in the manual:

-j FILE

    Currently disabled. Use database FILE for messages to print to
console during performance. In Csound 5.00 and later versions, the
localization of messages is controlled by two environment variables,
both of which are optional. CSSTRNGS points to a directory containing
.xmg files, and CS_LANG selects a language.


I remember there being talks here about removing the XMG feature
altogether so I guess that it's currently not in use.
