         Catalogue of Chinese Softwares on ifcss.org

IFCSS.ORG has become a new KING site for chinese softwares. 
softwares inherited from ahkcus.org are organized, new
softwares are added. 

Software are stored in software directory. The softwares on 
ifcss.org are primarily classified according platforms. Within 
each platforms, softwares are classified according functions. 
This catalogue includes only dos and unix directories. 

This catalog includes major softwares on ifcss.org machine
which are directly related to chinese handling: editing, viewing, 
printing, and converting. Like many compilations, it is limited by 
the editor's experience and judgement. Please send your comments
to me at xiaofei@ifcss.org. FTP group can be reached by 
ftp-admin@ifcss.org. 

I would like to express my thanks to software authors for 
their help in compiling this catalogue. 

This catalogue is FTP'able from ifcss.org:/software/Catalog.
