========================= UPDATES =================================
11-24-92: Added pinyin input. To toggle pinyin input mode, press
scroll-lock key. Read pinyin.gb for pinyin method. The program
will display up to 26 characters. Press space-bar for more.
=========================== DD.EXE ================================
To edit a file called MYFILE.GB, type
DD MYFILE.GB
Once you start the program, you shall see that the screen is
divided into 4 areas by 4 horizontal lines. Let us call these
command-area, char-area, select-area, and edit-area.
Suppose you want to type the Chinese character da4 (big). First
point the mouse to the letter D in the select-area, press and hold
the button, and move it to the left or right until you see the
character da4 appear in the char-area (you may also use ^E or ^F).
Then click the character da4.
After you click da4, you will see some characters displayed on the
right side of the command-area. This is called lian2xiang3. If you
want to type the Chinese character Jia1 (family), you may do so by
click jia1 which should be on screen already. You can add your
lianxiang dictionary as you editing (see "Add" below).
The font dictionary included here contains 940 symbols + 3760
frequently used characters arranged in pin1yin1 (phonetics) order
+ 3008 less frequently used ones arranged in bu4shou3 (strokes)
order. The rules of order are the same as in a typical Chinese
dictionary. If the character you need is not in the font file, you
can make one (see "Mak" below).
You may use arrow keys or click the mouse in the edit-area to
position the cursor. Other editing commands are listed in the
command-area on screen. To execute any of them, just click the
mouse button on it, or type the keys indicated in parenthesis
below. For example, type ESC-key or ^B or click "Qui" to quit the
program.
Sav: (^A) Save. Save changes to disk.
Qui: (^B, ESC) Quit program. If you have made changes, you will be
asked if you want to save them. ESC is the usual way to quit.
Get: (^C). Get a Chinese character.
Put: (^D). Put the character.
To copy a character already in your file, first click the
character to copy, type ^C. The character will be displayed
on the last column of the command-area. Now you can type ^D,
or click the character to copy it to the cursor position.
Pre: (^E) Previous window. Show previous window in the char-area.
Nex: (^F) Next window. Show next window in the char-area.
Del: (^G, Delete) Delete the character under the cursor.
Bck: (^H, Backspace) Delete the character before the cursor.
Hom: (^I, Tab, Home) Go to the beginning of the file.
End: (^J, End) Go to the end of the file.
Pup: (^K, PageUp) Page up.
Pdn: (^L, PageDown) Page down.
Ret: (^M, Enter) The return key.
Bst: (^N) Block start.
Bnd: (^O) Block end.
Bdl: (^P) Block delete.
Bcp: (^Q) Block copy.
Block start / end positions are shown in the first line on the
screen. You must reset them each time before doing block
delete or block copy.
Jmp: (^R) Jump. You will be asked to type a digit (1-9) which, when
multiplied by 10, gives the percentage of file to jump to.
For example, type '5' to jump to the middle of the file.
Sch: (^S) Search. You will be asked to click a Chinese character or
type an English letter to search starting from the current
cursor position.
Oft: (^T) Often used character file. When you click Oft, the first
16 characters in that file will be displayed on the right side
of the command-area. You can input these characters to the
edit-area by clicking the character just like in the char-
area. When you click Oft again, the next 16 characters will
be loaded, and so on.
Hpj: (^U) Print on HP compatible printer.
Eps: (^V) Print on Epson/IBM compatible printer.
Mak: (^W) Make or edit a character in the current font file. You
should save the original copy for backup purposes.
Add: (^X) Add word to lianxiang dictionary. Note that each
character can have maximum of 16 lianxiang characters. You may
edit file DD_LX.GB directly.
A disk cache program of 300k or larger will increase the speed
considerably.
You should load the mouse driver (usually MOUSE.COM in
AUTOEXEC.BAT, or MOUSE.SYS in CONFIG.SYS). If you don't have a
mouse, then DO NOT load the driver. You may input Chinese
character by using ^E, ^F, ^Left-arrow, ^Right-arrow and ^End.
======================= GB2PS16.EXE ============================
This is the same program as GB2PS24.EXE except that it uses 16x16
instead of 24x24 Chinese fonts. The following are some examples of
using the program:
gb2ps16 ye.gb ye.ps ;Generate ye.ps postscript file
gb2ps16 ye.gb prn ;Print to the postscript printer
gb2ps16 -f ye.gb ;Print but ignore formate statement in files
gb2ps16 -e4 cm.gb ;Print the first 4 pages of cm.gb
You format your file by insert format statements inside your file.
The format statements must be included inside <> pair. If you have
used '<' in your file, you need to change it to '<<' so that it
will not indicate the start of a format string.
The following format statements are implemented (but not all of
them fully tested):
FS FK FF FH FA: Change font to song, kai, fangsong, hei, fan.
Currently kai, fangsong and hei 16x16 fonts are available only in
24x24 fonts.
ML n, MR n, MT n, MB n: Set left, right, top or bottom margins to
n points. Default is 72 points (= 1 inch) on each sides.
OM x y, OR x y: Use OM to move the current printing position to x,
y point position. OR will move relative to the current point.
OG r: Change gray level from 0.00(dark) to 1.00 (light).
OZ x y: Scale font. X = character width (default = 10), y = char
height (default = 10).
OE: Eject page.
OC x, OL y, OP z: Character spacing, line spacing and paragraph
spacing. X points will be added to the right of each character
(default = 0), y to the bottom of each line (default = 2), z to the
bottom of each paragraph (default = 2).
The following are some format examples:
<FA OZ 12 12>: Change to fantizhi, and scale the font size to 12
points on width and height.
<OG 0.5 OZ 72 72>: Light character of 1 inch in size.
<OZ 10 5>: Flattered characters.
<FS OZ 10 10>: Back to the default font and size.
<OZ 10 10 OL 10>: Double spacing each line.
