12. Other Cool Stuffs

12.1 Crxvt

The xcin.tar.gz package includes a Chinese rxvt. It supports ANSI color and consumes less memory then cxterm. Xcin itself is an input server (Eten Input ?). But I use crxvt only

Getting Crxvt

xcin-2.1a.tgz       ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/x-win/xcin

Compiling and Installing

Here is the procedure to compile crxvt only (xcin may need ETEN system).

# tar -xvzf xcin-2.1a.tgz
# cd big5-pack/xcin
# xmkmf
# gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -O2 -m486 -pipe -DDELETE_K=0 -DAuto_First=1 \
> -c cli_xcin.c -o cli_xcin.o
# cd ../crxvt
# xmkmf
# make
# cp crxvt /usr/local/bin

12.2 Ktty

Ktty is another Hztty like utility for reading Chinese in kterm or pxvt. You can get ktty1.3.tar.gz from ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/unix/convert. This package does not compile on Linux. You need to use the file ``tty.c'' from the hztty-2.0.tar.gz package and also add two lines to the Makefile


linux:
      ${MAKE} ${MFLAGS} DEFINES='-DPOSIX -DSYSV -DUSE_SYSV_UTMP' ${PROG}

Now compile it by
# make linux

12.3 TinTin++

TinTin++ is not a Chinese software. It is very useful when you are playing Chinese Mud. TinTin++ can be found at ftp.princeton.edu:/pub/tintin++. Here are three Chinese Mud sites
