- The Chinese HOWTO
- Hong Zhang, hongz@seas.ucla.edu
- v0.1, 2 April 1997
-
- This is the HOWTO document for using Chinese in Linux environment. It
- describes how to obtain, install, and configure various Chinese soft¡
- ware. The most up-to-date version of this Chinese HOWTO may be found
- at turb10.seas.ucla.edu:/pub/
-
- 1. Introduction
-
- This is an overdue document for using Chinese in Linux. I have been
- expecting this HOWTO for a long time. Obviously there is no such HOWTO
- available on Internet, I decided to write one by myself. It is
- nothing else but an attempt to make life a little bit easer. Please
- send your comments and suggestions to hongz@seas.ucla.edu. There is
- no copyright issue associated with this document. You may do whatever
- you want with this HOWTO except for suing me for the damage caused by
- this document or bringing me into a lawsuit.
-
- You can get most of the Chinese Software at:
-
- <http://cnapps.ifcss.org> and
- <ftp://linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw:/pub/linux>
-
- 2. The Chinese X Windows
-
- The X Window system is a large and powerful graphics environment for
- UNIX. XFree86 is a free port of the MIT X Window System (X11R6). The
- Chinese X Windows is a patch to the XFree86 for displaying chinese
- charactors in X Window environment. The author is Shin-Ray Lee
- (srlee@csie.nctu.edu.tw). Current version of CXwin only supports BIG5
- coding. It is available for both XFree86 3.1 and XFree86 3.2 . CXwin
- gives your Chinese popup menu, Chinese window title for various window
- managers and also can display Chinese characters in some applications.
-
- 2.1. Where to get it
-
- 2.1.1. CXwin 3.1
-
- The XFree86 3.1 version of Chinese X Windows can be found at the major
- chinese software ftp site
- ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/linux/X11R6/CXwin/elf or its mirror sites.
- You only need to get one X server for yourself. In my case, I need
- XF86_SVGA.gz. But XF86_VGA16.gz should work for most of the graphics
- cards.
-
- 2.1.2. CXwin 3.2
-
- As I know, the latest version for CXwin is XFree86 3.2 . You can
- fetch the linux ELF format of CXwin 3.2 at
- linux.csie.nctu.edu.tw:/pub/linux/CXwin/elf
-
- 2.1.3. Patches
-
- If you have the source for XFree86, you can get patch at the same
- place and compile the binary file by yourself.
-
- 2.2. How to install it
-
- Uncompress the gzipped file, in my case it is /tmp/XF86_SVGA.gz
-
- # gzip -d XF86_SVGA.gz
-
- Become superuser (root) and make a backup copy of your orignal X
- server
-
- # cd /usr/X11R6/bin
- # mv XF86_SVGA XF86_SVGA_BACKUP
-
- Move the CXwin to its place
-
- # mv /tmp/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin
- # chown root.bin XF86_SVGA
- # chmod 4755 XF86_SVGA
-
- CXwin also needs four BIG5 fonts to work properly, namely taipei15,
- taipei16, taipeik20 and taipeik24. Please refer to ``Section ``''''
- for how to intall Chinese fonts.
-
- CXwin 3.1 is buggy and unstable. It is recommended that you upgrade to
- XFree86 3.2 and use CXwin 3.2. CXwin is in alpha state, you may use it
- at your own risk. But I have been using it for over three months, it
- works just great. At <http://turb10.seas.ucla.edu/ hongz>, you will
- find some nice screenshots of my desktop.
-
- 3. The CXterm and Hztty
-
- CXterm is a terminal simulator just like xterm but with the ability of
- displaying and inputting chinese charactors. It supports GB, BIG5
- coding. Along with hztty, you can also read HZ encoded text which is
- commonly used in chinese newsgroup. You may read CXTERM.FAQ
- (cs.purdue.edu:ftp/pub/ygz) for installation details. Yongguang Zhang
- is the author of this great software.
-
- 3.1. Getting the cxterm package and hztty
-
- cxterm5.0.p3.tar.gz is the latest version of cxterm (version 5.0).
- This single package includes cxterm and chinese fonts. It is very easy
- to install the cxterm. You can get cxterm and hztty from
-
- cxterm5.0.p3.tar.gz ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/x-win/cxterm
- hztty-2.0.tar.gz ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/unix/convert
-
- 3.2. Installing cxterm
-
- Unpacking the cxterm package
-
- # tar -xvzf cxterm5.0.p3.tar.gz
-
- Which will creat a new directory cxterm-5.0
-
- # cd cxterm-5.0
- # ./config.sh
-
- If you want to install cxterm for all the users on the system, you
- need to become root before you run the command ``./config.sh''. Now
- you can follow the instruction to compile and to install cxterm.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --- BASIC MENU ---
- 0. Read COPYRIGHT Notice
- 1. Compile, Install, and Configure "CXTERM 5.0" in One Step
-
- --- OPTION MENU ---
- 2. Compile cxterm (not to install)
- 3. Install cxterm (after successful compilation in 2)
- 4. Install additional Chinese font(s) for your X window
- 5. Configure your account for using cxterm (after installation in 3)
-
- x. Exit
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Please choose (0/1/2/3/4/5/x) :
-
- Choose option 1 if you want the installation script to do everything
- for you. At the middle, you will be prompt to enter the installing
- directory. In my case, I installed cxterm in /usr/local/chinese.
- There are also two fonts come with the cxterm package, choose option 1
- and 3 will install the fonts automatically. You can also install extra
- fonts using option 4. After installing cxterm, make sure the
- executables cxterm and CXterm in your search path. For C shell and
- Tcsh
-
- # set path (/usr/local/chinese/bin $path)
-
- For sh and bash
-
- # setenv PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/chinese/bin ; export PATH
-
- CXterm is a shell script for loading X window resources and bringing
- up the cxterm. For using cxterm in GB mode, try this
-
- # CXterm -gb
-
- Or in BIG5 mode
-
- # CXterm -big5
-
- 3.3. Installing hztty
-
- Hztty translates Chinese between different encoding. Unpacking
- hztty-2.0.tar.gz
-
- # tar -xvzf hztty-2.0.tar.gz
- # cd hztty-2.0
- # make linux
-
- After compiling, move the executable hztty to your bin directory and
- the man page to your man directory.
-
- # mv hztty /usr/local/bin
- # chmod 555 /usr/local/bin/hztty
- # cp hztty.1 /usr/local/man/man1
- # chmod 444 /usr/local/man/man1/hztty.1
-
- Read the hztty man page for how to use hztty.
-
- 3.4. Color patch for cxterm
-
- There are also one patch file cxterm-5.0.p3-color.patch.gz locate in
- the same directory as cxterm5.0.p3.tar.gz at
- ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/x-win/cxterm. You can patch the cxterm
- source to get ANSI color for cxterm. Here suppose you have the cxterm
- source tree in /tmp/cxterm-5.0
-
- # cp cxterm-5.0.p3-color.patch.gz /tmp
- # gzip -d cxterm-5.0.p3-color.patch.gz
- # patch < cxterm-5.0.p3-color.patch
- # cd cxterm-5.0
- # ./config.sh
-
- The color-cxterm is kind of cool. But There is one annoying thing when
- I try to input Chinese in color-cxterm: the input area at the low bot¡
- tom of cxterm does not redraw properly, I have to press ``Ctrl-L'' to
- redraw the whole screen. This maybe just a termcap problem. Hope some¡
- one will give me a hint.
-
- 3.5. Trouble shooting
-
- Sometimes Cut Paste may not working in cxterm shell prompt. Tcsh
- strips the 8th bit. You need to type ``setenv LANG'' to correct this.
- Also try ``stty pass8''.
-
- 4. Chinese Editors
-
- 4.1. Celvis and CVim - clones of vi/ex
-
- C-Elvis is a clone of vi/ex, the standard UNIX editor. C-Elvis
- supports editing of Chinese text, English text, and the mixture of
- both. C-Elvis supports nearly all the vi/ex commands, in both visual
- mode and ex (colon) mode, for both Chinese and English characters. You
- can use C-Elvis for both GB2312-80 standard and Big5 encoding Chinese
- text. You need to use it in a Chinese terminal such as cxterm to
- input/output Chinese character.
-
- 4.1.1. Getting the celvis
-
- The ftp site for celvis is
-
- celvis-1.3.tar.gz ifcss.org:/pub/software/unix/editor
-
- 4.1.2. Installing celvis
-
- # tar -xvzf celvis-1.3.tar.gz
- # cd celvis
-
- You need to edit tmp.c, delete line 93-95
-
- ______________________________________________________________________
- #if OS9
- if we don't have write permission...
- #endif
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
- Then you can compile it by
-
- # cp Makefile.s5 Makefile
- # make install
-
- Because the Makefile is not for Linux, you may get a lot of warning
- messages. But you can ignore all of them. The celvis will installed in
- in /usr/local/bin.
-
- 4.1.3. Cvim
-
- CVim is a patch to add Chinese support for vim-4.2. CVim includes
- some vi's features which are not supported by celvis-1.3, such as line
- number, line wrap, and large file editing. you can get
- vim-4.2-Chinese-patch and vim-4.2.tar.gz at
- ftp.csie.nctu.edu.tw:/pub/Unix/Chinese/cvim
-
- # tar -xvzf vim-4.2.tar.gz
- # cd vim-4.2/src
- # patch < ../../vim-4.2-Chinese-patch
-
- The file ``vim-4.2/src/feature.h'' can be edited to match your prefer¡
- ences. Compiling is simple, just do
-
- # make
- # make install
-
- 4.2. Cjoe - Joe's Own Chinese Editor
-
- JOE is a professional freeware ASCII text screen editor for UNIX. JOE
- has the feel of most IBM PC text editors. Although I am not using it
- myself, it is definitly a great editor.
-
- 4.2.1. Getting cjoe
-
- You can find cjoe-2.8.tgz at the same place as celvis-1.3.tar.gz
-
- cjoe-2.8.tgz ifcss.org:/pub/software/unix/editor
-
- 4.2.2. Compiling and Installing cjoe
-
- Edit the Makefile file if you want to change the locations for
- binaries, keymap initialization files and man page. Otherwise, just do
- the following
-
- # make
- # make install
-
- 4.3. Cemacs and CChelp For Emacs
-
- Cemacs is a method of using GNU Emacs to display and edit Chinese
- files. To use Cemacs, it is necessary to run Emacs on a Chinese
- terminal or under a Chinese terminal emulator program such as cxterm.
- CCHELP is a system to obtain instant helpful information on Chinese
- characters. Once CCHELP is installed, you can click the mouse on any
- Chinese character and a help messag will appear giving the character
- itself, its PinYin pronunciation, and an indication of its English
- meaning. Both GB- and Big5-coded Chinese are supported.
-
- 4.3.1. Getting Cemacs and CChelp
-
- Both cemacs and cchelp can be fetched at
- ftp.math.psu.edu:/pub/simpson/chinese
-
- 4.3.2. Installing
-
- Follow the README files for cemacs and cchelp.
-
- 4.4. Mule and Xemacs 20.0
-
- 4.4.1. Getting Mule-2.3 and the Patch for Linux
-
- mule-2.3.tar.gz ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/mule/editor
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/distribution/je/sources/mule
- mule-2.3+lx.diff.gz sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/distribution/je/sources/mule
-
- 4.4.2. Compile and Installing
-
- Unpack the package and apply the patch
-
- # tar -xvzf mule-2.3.tar.gz
- # patch < mule-2.3+lx.diff
- # cd mule-2.3/
- # ./configure "i386-*-linux" --with-x11 --with-x-toolkit --with-gcc
-
- If you want to customize your mule, read the file ``INSTALL'' and try
- ``./configure --help''. After the configuration, you need to modify
- the file ``src/Makefile'' a little bit, change ``-lcurses'' to
- ``-lncurses''. Now
-
- # make
- # make install
-
- The default installation directory is /usr/local.
-
- 4.4.3. Use Chinese in Mule-2.3
-
- If you have fonts intalled, you can use mule for input/output Chinese.
- Most of the Chinese fonts are 16 pts or 24 pts, so try
-
- # mule -fn 8x16 &
-
- Or
-
- # mule -fn 12x24 &
-
- In mule type M-x load-library RETURN chinese RETURN . The command
- ``Ctrl-]'' toggles input methods.
-
- 4.4.4. Xemacs 20.0
-
- Haven't try yet.
-
- 5. Installing Chinese fonts
-
- 5.1. Installing X window fonts
-
- 5.1.1. Where to get GB and BIG5 fonts
-
- Most likely you may already have some Chinese fonts sitting in your
- system. You can find GB fonts by
-
- # xlsfonts | grep gb
- -cclib-song-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-gb2312.1980-1
- -cclib-song-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-1
- -isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-gb2312.1980-0
- -isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0
- -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-gb2312.1980-0
- -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0
- -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-240-gb2312.1980-0
- hanzigb13fs
- hanzigb13st
- hanzigb16fs
- hanzigb16st
- hanzigb24st
-
- The last five fonts in this case are just the aliases of the first
- five fonts. Or to find BIG5 fonts
-
- # xlsfonts | grep big5
- -kc-kai-medium-r-normal-fantizi-0-0-75-75-c-0-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-kai-medium-r-normal-fantizi-20-200-75-75-c-200-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-kai-medium-r-normal-fantizi-24-240-75-75-c-240-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-0-0-75-75-c-0-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-15-150-75-75-c-160-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-24-240-75-75-c-240-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-0-0-75-75-c-0-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-16-160-75-75-c-160-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-20-200-75-75-c-200-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-songti-medium-r-normal-fantizi-0-0-75-75-c-0-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-songti-medium-r-normal-fantizi-20-200-75-75-c-200-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-songti-medium-r-normal-fantizi-24-240-75-75-c-240-big5.eten.3.10-1
-
- If you don't have any Chinese fonts installed or just want more fonts,
- you may look into ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/fonts/ where gb/bdf/ is
- for GB fonts, big5/bdf is for BIG5 fonts.
-
- 5.1.2. Installing X fonts
-
- Suppose you get BIG5 font eb5-24k2.bdf.gz and GB font gb24st.bdf.gz.
- To build the fonts into .pcf format
- # gzip -cd eb5-24k2.bdf.gz | bdftopcf -t > eb5-24k2.pcf
- # gzip -cd gb24st.bdf.gz | bdftopcf -t > gb24st.pcf
- # compress *.pcf
-
- Install the fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
-
- # mv *.pcf.Z /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
- # cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
- # mkfontdir .
-
- After installing the fonts, looking into the file fonts.dir, which now
- contains two lines
-
- eb5-24k2.pcf.Z -kc-kai-medium-r-normal-fantizi-24-240-75-75-c-240-big5.eten.3.10-1
- gb24st.pcf.Z -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-240-gb2312.1980-0
-
- You may need to make aliases for these fonts, which will save you a
- lot of typing when bringing up Chinese software, add two lines to the
- file fonts.alias
-
- gb24st "-isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-240-gb2312.1980-0"
- taipeik24 "-kc-kai-medium-r-normal-fantizi-24-240-75-75-c-240-big5.eten.3.10-1"
-
- Now inform your X window system server by
-
- # xset fp rehash
-
- If everything goes well, you can use your new fonts now
-
- # cxterm -GB -fn 12x24 -fh gb24st &
-
- 5.2. HBF fonts
-
- HBF fonts contain header files and bitmap font files. You need to get
- both header file and font files to install one HBF font. HBF fonts are
- in ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/fonts .
-
- Suppose you want to use font ccfs24.hbf, a GB, FangSong, Jianti font,
- you should get three files ccfs24.hbf, cclib.n24 and ccsys.24. The
- file 00index.txt in the ifcss fonts directory gives you filenames of
- each HBF font.
-
- 6. Printing Utilities
-
- 6.1. CNPRINT
-
- Cnprint is an utility to print Chinese text or convert Chinese text to
- PostScript. It works just like a print command and support GB, HZ and
- BIG5 formats.
-
- 6.1.1. Where is cnprint
-
- cnprint260.tar.gz can be found at
- ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/unix/print
-
- 6.1.2. Install cnprint
-
- The package cnprint260.tar.gz contains only four files
-
- # ls
- cnprint.1 cnprint.c cnprint.cmd cnprint.help
-
- You can compile it by
-
- # gcc cnprint.c -o cnprint
- # mv cnprint /usr/local/bin
- # mv cnprint.1 /usr/local/man/man1
-
- For cnprint to work properly, you need to specify the full path for
- the fonts files (HBF fonts). In csh or tcsh
-
- # setenv HBFPATH "/usr/local/chinese/HBF/"
-
- In sh or Bash
-
- # set HBFPATH="/usr/local/chinese/HBF/"; export HBFPATH
-
- The file cnprint.cmd contains the default settings for cnprint. It
- should be put in BFPATH
-
- # cp cnprint.cmd $HBFPATH
-
- If you convert Chinese text file to PostScript use the command
- ``cnprint -w FILENAME''
-
- 6.2. GB2PS
-
- GB2PS is another printing utility support GB and HZ encoding. It comes
- with a cover page for printing HXWZ.
-
- 6.2.1. Where to find GB2PS
-
- Package:
- gb2ps.2.02.tar.gz ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/unix/print
-
- fonts:
- csong24.ccf ckai24.ccf ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/fonts/gb/misc
- cfang24.ccf chei24.ccf
-
- Put fonts in some place. Mine is in /usr/local/chinese/CFONT
-
- 6.2.2. Installing GB2PS
-
- Before you compile gb2ps, you need to change two settings in the
- Makefile, the fonts directory and cover page location
-
- CFONT=/usr/local/chinese/CFONT/
- COVERPAGE=/usr/local/chinese/lib/cover.ps
-
- Then just type
-
- # make
- # cp gb2ps /usr/local/bin
-
- 6.3. DTop
-
- Don't know much about it
-
- 7. Displaying Chinese in Netscape
-
- There are many web pages on the Internet devoting to this topic.
- Netscape (better use version 2.1 and up) supports both GB and BIG5.
- Hare are three steps to view Chinese(BIG5) in Netscape
-
- 1. Setup X fonts as in ``Section ``''''
-
- 2. Bring up netscape and choose menu Options/Document
- Encoding/Tranditional Chinese (Big5)
-
- 3. In menu Options/General Preferences/fonts choose the font you want
- to use.
-
- But you may wonder why you can only use Fixed(HKU) Size 16.0. It
- turns out you need to edit the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-
- defaults/Netscape to get more fonts. Suppose you have the
- following BIG5 fonts
-
- # xlsfonts | grep big5
- -hku-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-big5.hku-0
- -hku-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-big5.hku-0
- -kc-kai-medium-r-normal-fantizi-0-0-75-75-c-0-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-kai-medium-r-normal-fantizi-20-200-75-75-c-200-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-kai-medium-r-normal-fantizi-24-240-75-75-c-240-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-0-0-75-75-c-0-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-15-150-75-75-c-160-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -kc-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-24-240-75-75-c-240-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-0-0-75-75-c-0-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-16-160-75-75-c-160-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-ming-medium-r-normal-fantizi-20-200-75-75-c-200-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-songti-medium-r-normal-fantizi-0-0-75-75-c-0-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-songti-medium-r-normal-fantizi-20-200-75-75-c-200-big5.eten.3.10-1
- -uw-songti-medium-r-normal-fantizi-24-240-75-75-c-240-big5.eten.3.10-1
-
- Add this line to your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape
-
- *documentFonts.charset*big5.eten.3.10-1: x-x-big5
-
- Now netscape can use all of them.
-
- 8. Chinese Tex
-
- Don't know much about these packages
-
- 8.1. CJK
-
- 8.2. Poor Man's Tex
-
- 8.3. ChTex
-
- 9. Using Chinese in Console -- Chdrv and WZCE
-
- Chdrv is a Chinese Terminal Simulator.It can display Chinese without
- X-Windows. It bases on VGALIB, and a VGA or super VGA monitor is
- required. It supports BIG5 coding only, but you can view GB files by
- using hztty
-
- 9.1. Getting chdrv
-
- chdrvbin-1.0.7.tar.gz sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/util/nls
- ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/linux/tty
- chdrvfont.tar.gz (HBF) ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/linux/tty
-
- 9.2. Installing chdrv
-
- Unpack the binary distribution package
-
- # tar -xvzf chdrvbin-1.0.7.tar.gz
- # mv chdrvfont.tar.gz chdrv-1.0.7/
- # cd chdrv-1.0.7

- let me know if you are using Chinese software in Wabi 2.2 for Linux.
-
- 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
-
- 12.1.1. Getting Crxvt
-
- xcin-2.1a.tgz ftp.ifcss.org:/pub/software/x-win/xcin
-
- 12.1.2. 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
