[soc.culture.korean] kterm 4.1.2 "official" release

mleisher@nmsu.edu (Mark Leisher) (05/05/91)

kterm 4.1.2 is out of beta and should be ready for general use.

As a reminder, kterm 4.1.2 is an X11R4 based vt100/vt102 (and
Tektronix 4014) terminal emulator that supports display of Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean text (in VT mode).  Also supported are: ANSI
color sequences, multi-byte word selection, limited Compound Text
support, and tab and newline preservation in selections.

Encodings currently supported:

1. Chinese
   A. Shift-GuoBiao
   B. 8-bit GuoBiao
   C. Big5

2. Japanese
   A. JIS
   B. Shift-JIS
   C. EUC

3. Korean (Hangul only)
   A. 8-bit KS (Korean Standard C5601-1987)
   B. N-byte

For those who already have kterm 4.1.2 patchlevel 6, the majority of
the changes in the release version are in the documentation.  Code
changes were removal of the DEC Kanji JIS X0201 support from the VT
parse table and a very minor change to the Korean support that doesn't
affect anyone using it now.

If you want the patch for the DEC Kanji JIS X0201 support, please send
me email.

Information on obtaining freely available Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean X11 fonts is in the README file of the distribution.

The code has been posted to comp.windows.x and should be showing up
sometime in the near future.

One minor problem with my previous posting:

   clr.nmsu.edu:pub/misc/kterm-4.1.2.tar.Z  [128.123.1.14]
   ^^^
should be:
