INTRODUCTION
"randpy" randomly selects a Chinese character and display it
in Chinese as well as its pinyin. You can learn to read
correct Chinese pronunciation at your lunch time, or put
it in your .logout to leave a Chinese character on the screen!
You will find out that there are so many Chinese characters that
you know the meaning but pronounce it wrong.
REQUIREMENTS
"/misc/misc/Chinese.lha" from Aminet is VERY recommended in order
to read anything, also a certain knowledge of chinese would be
useful :).
The program itself shouldn't require OS 3.0 but having less
than 2.04 would complicate the whole not little.
Remember to keep the file PinYin.HZ in the same dir of RandPY!
USAGE
There is no GUI (that's an UN*X porting!), use it from CLI/SHELL.
Anyway there is a little trouble, I tested it by shell patching
the whole thing with Chinese (see REQUIREMENTS) and the output
wasn't correct, so I reoutputted it to a file and loaded in a text
editor/viewer system fonts sensible (I used TextView) and it worked
fine. ARexx could be the solution, if some of you want to work on it
let me know! (Who knows, I could upload a GUI or something alike in
next weeks).
The syntax is following:
Randpy (to make it output on CLI/Shell)
Randpy >filename (or VOLUME:PATH/FILENAME)
E.G.: RandPy >outputtext.gb (output file is in the current dir)
RandPy >ram:t/outputtext.gb

pinyin.hz table is edited by Ed Lai. I prefer to use pinyin.hz
rather than pinyin.gb, since it is editable.
hz->gb part is from Fung F. Lee's hanzi package.
