CJK Software Worldwide ************************************ * Introduction * ************************************ The following list contains some information on existing programs and systems useful for CJK data processing. The structure and the items already included are by no means final. Please comment on it. If you consider it useful, I would like to update this list regulary. So be so kind to send corrections and additions. There are some items, where you'll find hardly more than the pure names. Fore these and other items outdated or not correct, it would be very much appreciated, if expecially those who work with such a system, could send the relevant information. For new users it would be very important to get information on where and how to get a system. It should be allowed to have multiple addresses in the field "VEndor". In this ASCII-file the data ar arranged strictly alphabetically. One way to access the information in this ASCII text is the UNIX command GREP which allows search for special strings within a file or a groupe of files. Example : GREP "^SY " chiprog where "chiprog" is the name of the file containing the program informations, will list all the lines beginning with "SY ". Thus you'll immediatly get a list of all the Systems, for which there a programs described. Or use GREP "^TI " chiprog and you have a list of the programs described in the file "chiprog". For those who contribute to the this database it means, that it's best if all the most important information and keywords appear in the first line of a field beginning with the two capital letters. For DOS users there exists the program FGREP, which allows similar search as the UNIX-GREP, but not containing as many options. For display of all the lines containing the String "TI " in upper case, you type: FGREP -c "TI " chiprog With FGREP you might also construct a batch file which allows for the search of two words combined with a logical AND. If this batch file is called GREP one could say: GREP SY DOS The result would be all the lines containing the header "SY" and on the same line the word DOS, i.e. all programms which need the DOS operating system. Since the first four characters are the line number on the main file (CHIPROG.TXT), one can look up the whole program information very quickly by jumping to the said line number. When you use MICROemacs, one may load the main file as well as the output file of FGREP into two windows of emacs. This batch file: @ECHO OFF CLS IF %1.==. GOTO anzeige ECHO Use ctrl-X X to change to the main file then jump to the desired line >t ECHO --------------------------------------------------------------------- >>t IF %2.==. GOTO ohne FGREP -lc %1 chiprog.txt > a FGREP %2 a >> t GOTO weiter :ohne FGREP -l %1 chiprog.txt >> t GOTO weiter :anzeige ECHO USE: grep word1 word2 GOTO ende :weiter memacs t chiprog.txt :ENDE The list comes in a format that makes it easy to incorporate the data in a DBS system if need arises. Actually by now I use CDS/ISIS to keep these CJK-records. ISIS is a very effecient DBS-system mainly for text data. CDS/ISIS (for DOS; also mainframe versions available) was developed by UNESCO and is distributed without any costs to non-profit educational institutions as universities, libraries etc. With a small utility for use with ISIS (Fangorn) it is very comfortable to downlode the tagged data (as in this CJK-list) into ISIS. It is also possible to produce again a tagged ASCII-file to be used on the net. This list is available in the archive of crl.nmsu.edu [128.123.1.18], in the directory: "/pub/chinese" or in "/incoming" as "cjk-prog.txt". This is the place where I'll upload updated version of the list. Most of the informations have been collected by myself. But whenever I could get hold of some other list (mostly on list servers) I included the new informations. Credit is given to these authors in the field indicating the person who contributed (to) the item. Dealers in Chinese software who appear more than just a few times are listed here. In the VEndor field they will be refered by a short name. (This list by now contains more addresses than needed for the main body of the data below. When I encounter a Chinese computing related address I add it to the list, because one never knows when one needs it.). There appeared so many catalogues of Chinese software that it is not possible to indicate all the vendors of a particular software. I would like to have one or two vendor addresses for each software.
