Original-subject: MacHanzi - viewing & printing Chinese WITHOUT using Chinese OS
Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN)
Hi,
Recently, I wrote a tiny Mac application called MacHanzi. The
following is a short description.
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is MacHanzi, a freeware application for viewing and printing
Chinese articles WITHOUT using a Mac Chinese Operating System.
It is useful for those who subscribe to "Hua Xia Wen Zhai"
(ccman-l\\@uga.cc.uga.edu) and "Chinese Articles from HKU"
(car-request\\@ahkcus.org).
The features are:
* Supports both GB format (simplified Chinese character used in
mainland China) and BIG5 format (traditional Chinese character
used in Taiwan and Hong Kong) WITHOUT using a Mac Chinese OS.
* The Chinese articles can be viewed and printed either horizontally
(from left to right, top to bottom - the modern way) or vertically
(from top to bottom, right to left - the traditional way).
* The minimum hardware requirement is a Mac Plus with 1 Mb RAM
(512e should work, but has not been tested).
* It is multifinder friendly and can be used under System 7.0.
* The application itself is small (about 10 K). Two font libraries
are obtained from anonymous ftp sides. (cclib.16 [GB font] is
from 128.123.1.14 inside pub/chinese/ChTex-1.1.tar.Z and
chinese.16 [BIG5 font] is from 192.55.187.25 at src/pc/HKU.
I think that these two libraries are in the public domain.
If not, please delete them and down load them yourself.
----------------------------------------------------------------
MacHanzi is now available from two anonymous ftp sites.

I would be glad to collect the comments about MacHanzi. Drop me a line.
Enjoy.
