Thanks in advance! | From: -- Kang Sun Internet: sun@robios.eng.yale.edu Yes, the author is Dr. J.B. Wang. It is ChTeX. You write your article with PinYin, and in combination of TeX commands. Then a ChText will translate all the Pinyin into a kind of internal code; next you use ChTeX as a preprocessor to genearate a postscript header file containing the Chinese font information, and to made the source file recognizable by regular TeX. Then you run TeX to produce DVI file, which is in turn processed by a special version of DVI2PS. Finally, you take the generated postsript file in catenation with the postscript header file and print it out on a postscript file. The whole procedure seems tedious, but someone (a professor) has written a script that automate the whole procedure. You can get the package from 192.12.216.114 (name: chiris.stevens-tech.edu) which is a Silicon graphics running System V. This machine only allows user name of 8 characters or less, thus 'ftp' is used instead of anonymous. The password can be anything. Included are source, fonts, VMS binary for 5.2, DOS binary, etc. -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O. Box 80.089, 3508 TB Utrecht, The Netherlands.
