- Warning, Warning, Warning
- =========================
-
- This is a modified version of NCSA Telnet, it has very ugly
- (ugliest, from what I heard) user interface, it is so ugly that
- you would probably not want to use your mac again. So if you
- want the sticky (or stupid?) HIG, and prefer the old, pure B&W UI,
- don't bother to get this thing.
-
- BTW, can someone tell me how to make a HanZi terminal that can
- show HanZi clearly without throw scroll bar out of window ?
- (a HanZi require 16x15 pixels, and 13" monitor is 640x480
- pixels, a HanZi is a double-byte char. Do some calculation !)
-
-

-
-
- FUNCTION SUMMARY
- ================
-
- Another "Manual" file (BIG5 encoded) give some info about
- MacBlue Telnet, please read it as well. MacBlue Telnet is a modified
- version of NCSA Telnet for Mac, the main objective is to support HanZi
- properly, but it also has some other enhancements :
-
- + support 2-byte Hanzi code (display/type/copy/paste/select/etc...)
- + support BUILT-IN HanZi Display
- + support BUILT-IN HanZi Input
- + support translation of major Chinese encoding (BIG5, GB, HZ, etc...)
- + rewritten ftp client (finally it works)
- + improved terminal handling (color, style, mouse support, etc...)
- + performance enhancement
- + drag & drop copy/paste service
- + and a few others to enhance (and fix) the function of Telnet
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
- ==================
-
- MacBlue Telnet should work with 68020 or PowerPC Macintosh with
- System 7.x or later. MacBlue Telnet is a Fat Bianry program.
- 68000 machine (SE, Plus, etc...) and System 6.x users are no longer
- supported.
-
- If you want to use built-in HanZi display & input methods, it is a
- good idea to increase the memory partition, the default setting is fine
- to load both Chinese fonts.
-
- If you use built-in HanZi display, you need 13" screen to see full
- window, you can change the HanZi font size, but it will look ugly other
- than 12 point.
-
-
- HANZI ENVIRONMENT
- =================
-
- If you want to use built-in HanZi display, you must get the proper
- HanZi font. Two default HanZi fonts are available for Traditional Chinese
- (BIG5 encoded) and Simplified Chinese (GB encoded), and you can make your
- own with the "hzCov" program. Unfortunately the "hzCov" program
- need some programming to use it, later version might have nice UI
- (depend on public demand)
-
- Also you need to get some input table to use the built-in Input Method,
- a new utility called "hzBuild" allows you to use cxterm
- input method specification (the ".tit" file) to build input method. That
- means you can get a lot of input method immediately. In fact, the input
- method spec used by MacBlue Telnet is the superset of cxterm, you can
- use cxterm ".tit" file, but not vice versa. For that reason, you should
- rename modified ".tit" file to ".titmb".
-
- You should arrange files in this manner :
-
- "MacBlue Telnet" folder
- |
- +---- "MacBlue Telnet" application
- |
- +---- "NCSA Telnet Bridge" application (optional)
- |
- +---- "HanZi Font" folder (must spell exactly)
- | |
- | +---- "Simplified Chinese" font
- | |
- | +---- "Traditional Chinese" font
- | |
- | +---- etc...
- |
- +---- "HanZi Input" folder (must spell exactly)
- |
- +---- "Chang-Jie" input method
- |
- +---- "Zu-Yin" input method
- |
- +---- etc...
-
- * You can use alias for "HanZi Font" && "HanZi Input" folder
- * You must make sure MacBlue Telnet have enough memory allocated to load
- HanZi fonts, 1,600K partition is fine to load both fonts.
- * Input methods also use more memory, but they are load on demand, you
- only need to increase memory partition by the largest input
- method size.
-
-
- POWERMAC USER NOTE
- ==================
-
- PowerMac user need "Macintosh Drag & Drop" 1.1 or later to run this
- program, a single "Macintosh Drag & Drop" extension is included in this
- release. You can ftp the complete "Macintosh Drag & Drop" package from
- ftp.apple.com, which include Finder 7.1.3 as well as Cliping extension.
- "Macintosh Drag & Drop" is now a standard part of System 7.5.
-
-
- LIVE WITH alt.chinese.text
- ==========================
-
- If you plan to use MacBlue Telnet to read alt.chinese.text or
- other HZ encoded source. You should have CLK or HanZi font installed.
- Then you just need to select [HanZi Display Filter][HZ -> GB], and that's it.
- ( You must select the right font anyway)
-
- If you need to input HZ codes, remember to type ~{ before HZ and ~} after,
- this is how the HZ works. If you need to type 8-bit clean HanZi (the native
- HanZi), remember to type "stty pass8" or "stty -istrip cs8", that will tell
- your host to accept 8-bit codes.
-
-
- SOME SHORTCUT
- =============
-
- Here are some shortcut that is not documented anywhere :
-
- DRAG & DROP COPY/PASTE
- ----------------------
- + drag & drop works in BBS Editor mode, in this mode, the text
- is moved (insteaded of being copyed) in the same window
- + if you are in BBS Editor mode, and want to copy (instead of moving),
- hold down [shift] will force text copy
- + if you are in BBS Editor mode, drag selection to trash can will
- delete that selection
- + when you drag & drop, the default copy method is normal [COPY]
- and default paste method is normal [PASTE]. Hold down [control]
- and drag & drop will use [COPY TABLE] & [PASTE WRAP]
-
- WINDOW HANDLING
- ---------------
- + [command]-drag window will not bring window up to front, you can also
- move window behind dialog box with [command]-drag
- + [option]-click window title will zoom in/out window
- + [command]-[option]-click window title or [option]-click zoom box will
- zoom window to screen size
- + hold down [option] when growing the window will automatically change
- real terminal size
-
- TERMINAL WINDOW
- ---------------
- + you can scroll the window by holding down [command] key and click wthin
- terminal window, click at upper part will scroll up, and bottom will
- scroll down.
- + hold down [command]-[shift] will scroll pages instead of lines
- + hold down [option] key will temporarily toggle mouse cursor
- + hold down [command]-[option] you can double-click a URL spec in
- terminal window to open it, telnet and ftp session are supported
- + hold down [control] and double-click HanZi in terminal window,
- you are able to lookup input code for that HanZi
-
- HANZI ENVIRONMENT
- -----------------
- + hit [option]-space to switch English and HanZi input
- + hit [option][shift]-space to switch full-size ASCII and HanZi input
- + hit [shift]-space to switch full-size mode within HanZi input
- + hit [tab] when you use Input Method will let you input punctuation
- temporally, hit [control]-[tab] will send [tab] char
- + hit [control]-digit allow you to select associated pharse even the
- digit has been assigned to input codes (such as in ZuYin case)
- + hold down [option] and click the zoom box of input window will
- put the window back to normal position
- + you can arrange the order of input method in menu by rename the input
- table file in "HanZi Input" folder, the "By Name" order is the load
- order
- + if the first two chars of the name of input table file is "!#",
- it will be assigned to punctation input (with hot key [option]-dot)
- + if the first two chars of the name of input table file is "!*",
- it will be assigned to full-size (the ASCII char in HanZi code, and
- with hot key [shift][option]-space)
- + if the last second char of the name of input table file is "%",
- it will be assigned to the hot key following (eg. "%1" will
- be [option]-1)
- + hold down [control] and click HanZi in the choice list or code pad
- window, you can look up the input code for it
