This is the lastest version of cxterm (version 5.0). Most significant improvement from the previous versions: - new Chinese input model (post-processing based on glossary list). Some highlight: - one single package includes cxterm and fonts; easy installation. - one package works for X11R4, X11R5, and X11R6. - based on X11R6 xterm so this one should work for later OS like DEC OSF/1 V3.0, SGI IRIX 5.2, Sun Solaris 2.3, Linux, etc. Other notable changes: - additional ways to switch input method -- by popup config panel. - produce an environment variable "CHAR_ENCODE". - "hzimpath" has been replaced by "hzimctrl". - new .tit constructs. - versioning (used to name after X11 release, now it is not). old version name changed to new version name date released cxterm-11.4.1 1 4/91 -11.4.2, -11.5.1 2.0, 2.1 10/91 3.x (hkust versions) never cxterm-X11R6 4 6/94 5.0 (this one) 1/95 - COPYRIGHT statement, not for commercial use. Source code is in ftp.cs.purdue.edu: pub/ygz/cxterm5.0.p?.tar.gz where p? is the patch level. Hztty gives certain Unicode capability (very limited) to cxterm: ftp.cs.purdue.edu: pub/ygz/hztty-2.*.tar.gz Linux users can get the binary in Chinese-Tools-1.4 (or later), currently at sunsite.unc.edu: pub/Linux/Incoming/ (may be moved to pub/Linux/X11/xutils/terms/). Thanks to Eric Lin . Mirror site sysadmin: You may remove the old cxterm-11.*, cxterm-X11R6, cxterm-dictionary, cxterm-platform, cxterm-fonts, etc. This version replaces them all. I'll keep the old versions at ftp.cs.purdue.edu: pub/ygz/OLD/ for a month or so, just in case. --------------------- Yongguang Zhang c-xterm@cs.purdue.edu =============================================================================== HISTORY: 02/14/95 cxterm-5.0p1 packaged. + X11R6 fixes up to level 11 applied + IC builtin method now also accepts GL codes (hibit unset). + added two Big5 input methods (Boshiamy, HSU). + fixed a bug in CXterm so that now "CXterm -Big5" works. + fixed the "XtGravity redefined" problem for some old X11R4. + fix a font making problem in some X11R4 (e.g. SGI) system. + fixed the "make depend" problem in Sun OpenWindow (makedepend bug). + rewrite ": ${M:=V}" in "if ... then ... fi" (some old sh). + added a new way to determine X version (for the stupid OpenWindow). + minor bug fixes. 01/17/95 cxterm-5.0 packaged.
