-
- Introduction ---------------
-
- The main reason of this update is to use GB coding so that it is
- compatible with other Chinese word processors. GB coding is used by
- many Chinese articles, for example, Hua2 Xia4 Wen2 Zhai1.
-
- CEDIT is a mouse based, easy to use Chinese word processor.
- Usually the easier the input method, the slower the speed. This
- maybe the easiest input method. Good for casual users. It uses a
- very unique window input method.
-
- The main editor buffer is fixed at 44k (about 22000 Chinese
- characters). Since the program does not read Chinese character file
- into memory, a disk cache program (size 256k) will speed the program
- considerably. CGA/EGA/VGA display modes are supported. It seem to me
- that Hercules card do not recognize mouse driver (INT 0x33). I have
- included a emulator that I wrote long time ago. Type 'EMUL I', then
- type 'EMUL G' to change Hercules to CGA mode, 'EMUL M' to change
- back to text mode.
-
- To get started, you can just copy all the files into one directory,
- type 'CEDIT22 CEDIT.GB' to start editing the sample file CEDIT.GB.
- Don't forget to press ESC-key to get out of CEDIT.
-
-
- CEDIT22.EXE ---------
-
- Type CEDIT22 followed by a file name to edit the file. CEDIT will
- divide the screen into 4 areas separated by 3 lines. The first
- (top) area contains the following editing functions:
-
- Save: Exit and save the file.
- Quit (or ESC key): Exit and not save the file.
- Search: Search one Chinese character or English letter.
- Jump: Jump to positions in file specified by percent.
- Up/Down/Left/Right/Home/End: Cursor movements.
- Pgup/Pgdn: Page up / down.
- Del: Delete character under cursor and put into a special buffer.
- Copy: Copy character under cursor and put into the buffer.
- Paste: Paste from the buffer (buffer length is 200 bytes).
- Epson: Print to EPSON/IBM printer.
- Hpjet: Print to HP printer.
- Cprev/Cnext: Show prev/next block of characters.
-
- The 'Del' (Del on keypad) is different from 'Backspace' key which
- deletes the character before cursor and will not save to the
- special buffer. The buffer pointer is reset whenever cursor are
- moved by, for example, arrow keys.
-
- The codes for printing (especially on HP) do not work well. I will
- fix this in future. You may print CEDIT file with other CWP
- programs which use GB coding.
-
- Area 2 and 3 is used for inputing Chinese characters. Area 3 is to
- select the characters in area 2. Note that Chinese characters are
- arranged by symbols, followed by PinYin (frequently used
- characters) and then by bu4 shou3. To input a Chinese character,
- first try to guess the position of the characters. Click the
- position in area 3. You may use 'Cprev' or 'Cnext' to help you to
- make the character shown in area 2. Finally click the character in
- area 2. See remarks for CEDIT.INI for more information.
-
- The bottom area is the main area for editing.
-
-
- CEDIT.INI -----------------
-
- This file should be in current directory. The first line should
- contains the Chinese 16x16 character file name. If you like to use
- fan2 ti3 zhi4, just change CCLIB.16 to CCLIBF.16. You may use other
- character files also. The second line contains sequence of marker
- data: a blank, an English letter and a Chinese character. The order
- is very important. The CEDIT.INI can be modified by CEDIT (make a
- backup). The English letter serves as a marker indicating the
- position of the Chinese character. It should be easy to finger out
- what this file does after using CEDIT.
-
-
- CMAKE21.COM ----------------------------
-
- CMAKE is used to add or change any Chinese character by type
- CEDIT21 followed by character file (ex, CCLIB.16 or CCLIBF.16). It
- then ask you which character to change. You can response with a big
- number to add characters to the end of file or 0 to quit. Once it
- is done, you should be able to see the effects immediately in CEDIT
- assume that CEDIT use the file you just changed.
-
-
- EMUL.COM -------------------------
-
- This program has 4 optional parameters: I=Initial, C=Color mode 2,
- G=Color mode 6, M=Mono text mode. Type 'EMUL I' to put the program
- into memory (TSR), then type 'EMUL G' for CGA mode. After type
- initial, the cursor is not visible. Just type 'EMUL G' blindly. I
- don't know why since I wrote this one about three years ago. There
- are better emulators but I can not include them here for copyright
- reasons.
-
-
- Final Words ----------------------
-
- The program only uses high level functions in source code. Display
- is very slow but it is easy to maintain and modify. If you like
- the program, you can send $1 to his sweethart:
