Dear Readers:
The Bách Khoa Vietnamese Encyclopedia diskette is a tutor program aimed at
teaching the Vietnamese language using a computer. If you do not have the
latest diskette, get one from your local Vietnamese Church / Buddhist Temple,
because something big is happening. The ability to publish your own
Vietnamese story on a computer is every bit as revolutionary as was the
Gutenberg press.
Since the debut of computers, Vietnamese educators have viewed electronic
publishing with envy, "A computer would be great, if only I could get my
information written in Vietnamese on it." With the arrival of VNcode, you
can create a Vietnamese document using any word processor program. VNcode
stands for the Vietnamese code, which specifies the representation of
Vietnamese for keyboard input and data file transfer. To get Vietnamese
letters with diacritics, you type the vowel followed by the VNcode keys
representing the Vietnamese diacritics. Your Vietnamese documents are stored
and distributed in this VNcode format file. A special VNsoftware program
installed on each computer lets the user read a VNcode file, no matter what
kind of computer it came from.
Working together, the various components of VNsoftware can transform a
Vietnamese document into a new type of computer file that is not dependent on
any one kind of computer, operating system or software application. When
this document is viewed on someone else's computer, the Vietnamese font is
recreated, even if that particular font is not loaded in the receiving
computer. It's a major step toward document interchange and for viewing and
printing Vietnamese documents with computers. Please read The Bách Khoa
Vietnamese Encyclopedia diskette for more information about VNcode and
VNsoftware.
Until now, publishing has been the domain of large organizations that have a
full-time staff. No one else has had the resources to do it. With the
arrival of VNcode and VNsoftware, you can publish and distribute diskettes
containing hundreds of pages of information. Diskette mastering,
duplicating, and distributing costs are very low. Think of the library of
diskettes that could contain documents particular to your field and your
organization. The real strength of an organization lies in the ability of
each individual to leverage the collective knowledge, and diskette publishing
is the tool that can allow that process to happen.
If you have an interest in writing and publishing an article in your area of
expertise, consider submitting an article to Bách Khoa. Please type and save
your article on a diskette. Mail it along with a printout to your Vietnamese
Church / Buddhist Temple. Bách Khoa's goal is to use VNcode and VNsoftware
to publish The Bách Khoa Vietnamese Encyclopedia electronically, where
Vietnamese documents are entirely created, distributed, read and stored on
computer. We are doing it because we really care about publishing and
distributing Vietnamese works. And we really believe that this technology
will foster literacy in Vietnam by giving people computers and software with
which to communicate.
The Bách Khoa Vietnamese Encyclopedia diskette, by the people of Vietnam,
is dedicated to Vietnam and its people.
