Can you display Chinese when you are NOT using Kermit? If so, then
perhaps there is hope. If your xterm supports Chinese character display
and input, there is a good chance Kermit can use it too. I can't test
this locally, so I'd appreciate hearing about the results.
Anyway, the trick for enabling Chinese character display would be
something like this. First, the remote host and your xterm must use the
same Chinese character set, such as GB 2312-80 or Big5. Then give the
following commands to Kermit:
set parity none
set command bytesize 8
set terminal bytesize 8
set terminal character-set transparent
Hopefully, Chinese characters will be displayed correctly, and you
should also be able to send them correctly using whatever keyboard input
method is supplied by your Chinese xterm. If not, please send email
directly to kermit@columbia.edu with details.
By the way, Chinese terminal emulation is also possible using the same
technique with MS-DOS Kermit, provided you using a Chinese version of
DOS, such as ZWDOS or KCDOS. See the article on pages 15-18 of Kermit
News Number 6, which most of our subscribers (at least the ones in the
USA) should have received by now. More about this in a separate
posting.
