Subject:   1)  What kind of Hangul terminal emulators are avaiable?

    Hanterm is a terminal emulator running on X Window System,
which can be used to display and input Hangul. It uses KSC-5601
codeset. It has been tested over following platforms.

    SunOS 4.1.1-KLE1.1 running X Window System Release 5
    OS/SMP 4.0D,OS/MP 4.0C running X Window System Release 4
    SunOS 4.1.1-KLE1.1 running OpenWindows 2.0.1
> I succeeded to run HANTERM under SunOS 4.1.1. without KLE and with X11
> R4. KLE is not necessary. Don't be misled.
> HANTERM's latest version is 2.1.1(not 3.x.x. which is beta for 3-byte
> Hangul)

Hanterm is available at CAIR.KAIST.AC.KR [143.248.11.170] via anon. ftp.
Any questions on Hanterm should be directed to Song Jae-kyung at
jksong@cosmos.kaist.ac.kr

    IYAGI is a Hangul terminal emulator running on MS-DOS, which was
developed by Heaven Ox at Kyung-Buk Nat'l University. IYAGI supports
Hercules, EGA, and VGA graphic displays, mouse, adlib sound.
Heaven Ox is not reachable through Internet.  IYAGI is also available
at CAIR.KAIST.AC.KR [143.248.11.170]
> IYAGI is at KUM,KIDS,and GARAM.

    DANSI is a software Hangul emulatng hardware Hangul card. It runs as
fast as very nice hardware Hangul card. It was written by Ha Hyung-jin at
hjha@eve.kaist.ac.kr DANSI only supports VGA display card. Another software
Hangul available is DKBY. DKBY supports 2-byte Combinational code and DANSI
supports almost all kinds of codes. I could use Hangul in TELIX with DANSI
on my PC compatible. DANSI and DKBY are available at CAIR.KAIST.AC.KR
[143.248.11.170]
> You can get it from kum.kaist.ac.kr.(/pub/msdos) and 
>kids.kotel.co.kr.(/pub/korean)

Subject:   2)  How can I edit Hangul documents?

    Nemacs is the Japanese Emacs, and you can use it to edit Hangul documents.
Latest version of Nemacs is available at UTSUN.S.U-TOKYO.AC.JP [133.11.11.11].

    Stevie is a vi clone, and there is Japanese stevie named Jstevie.
You can edit hangul documents on Hanterm with Jstevie. You should compile
it after hacking a couple of lines of Makefile. Please set the code you use
to EUC codeset. Jstevie is available at CAIR.KAIST.AC.KR [143.248.11.170].
>Stevie is only avaiable at GARAM.kreonet.re.kr. at this time.

    IYAGI [See Subject 1], has its own built-in editor and it's fairly nice.
And VADA is fully-futured word processor running on MS-DOS supporing the same
devices as IYAGI. It was also developed by Heaven Ox. It is available at 
CAIR.KAIST.AC.KR [143.248.11.170].

    On systems running SunOS/KLE, you can use 8-bit clean vi for hangul editing.
Set your environment variable LANG as korean. Then you can edit hangul documents
with vi or other text editors.

    KED is a hangul editor running on X-window. It's so premitive editor and
use N-byte code. So I don't recommand you to use it. (Needs C++ compiler)

Subject:   3) What are KSC-5601 and other Hangul codes?

    There are two major Hangul codes. One is KSC-5601 and the other is
2-byte Combinational code. KSC-5601 is a national standard but many people
prefer the latter. And one minor code is N-byte code. KED use that code but
it's diminishing.


Subject:   4) What is hlatex and how can I use it?

    hlatex is a software package which enables the use of Hangul in [La]TeX.
It consists of a preprocessing module and a script and some latex macros.
It was written by Choi Uh-hyung at uhhyung@daiduk.kaist.ac.kr, Baek Yun-ju
at yunju@camars.kaist.ac.kr, and Lee Sang-hoon at rhee@camars.kaist.ac.kr 
hlatex is available at CAIR.KAIST.AC.KR [143.248.11.170].

    Fonts are not part of hlatex distribution. It's property of Mathematics
Research Center at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. 
You can use it at overseas sites but you should not redistribute it to 
Korean sites outside KAIST. Please do not send blames to me. 

Subject:   5) I'd like to install hlatex, but I don't have enough previlege. 

    You can set environment variables so that your tex compiler will be 
able to find the hlatex files in your library path.

    setenv PATH       <<your htex bin dir>>:$PATH
    setenv TEXFONTS   <<your htex pk dir>>:<<your latex tfm dir>>:$TEXFONTS
    setenv TEXINPUTS  <<your htex input dir>>:$TEXINPUTS
    setenv TEXFORMATS <<your htex format dir>>:$TEXFORMATS
    setenv XDVIFONTS  <<your htex/pk dir>>:$XDVIFONTS  # for XDVI
    setenv TEXPKS     $XDVIFONTS                       # for DVIPS 
    # Contributions from "Sang K. Cha" <chask@CS.Stanford.EDU>
    
    Some TeX previewers or drivers does not allow user fonts which are not
placed at system TeX font path. I use xdvi and dvips and they allow me to
define my local font paths.

    hlatex script has some variables such as LATEX and HTEX.
You should change that variables to fit your local environment.

Subject:   6) Are there Hangul TeX packages running on Macintosh or IBM-PC?

    Yes. There is commertial version of Hangul TeX running on Macintosh.
I don't know much about it in detail, but you can contact Prof. Ko Ki-hyung
at knot@math1.kaist.ac.kr to ask detailed questions.

    But there is not supported Hangul TeX package running on IBM-PC.
You can hack the files in hlatex to port it onto IBM-PC. If anybody succeeds
in such a hack, please let me know.

Subject:   7) Are there mailing lists for Hangul stuffs?

    Yes. There are two mailing lists, as I know of, concering Hangul.
One is hangul@cair.kaist.ac.kr at which you can find information on general
hangul stuffs. And the other is htex@cair.kaist.ac.kr which handles TeX
specific matters. You can join the lists my sending a short request to
owner-hangul@cair.kaist.ac.kr and owner-htex@cair.kaist.ac.kr.
 
>  Currently, it's not working.

Subject:   8) Is there any HANGUL mailing program?
   
   Yes. With your choice of Hangul editor(HANGUL EMACS=nemacs or Hangul
VI=jstevie) and Hangul code converter(ISO ->KSC, KSC->ISO) and PAGER and
EDITOR environment variables set properly, you can read and write HANGUL
mail on HANTERM or on PC with IYAGI. You'd better get 'ELM' with Hangul
patch,from which you're able to get idea of how to set PAGER and EDITOR 
even though you don't want to use ELM. ELM hangul patch is available from
aforementioned FTP sites.

Subject:   9)  What Hangul code converters are available?

 HCODE for UNIX is available at FTP sites,KUM,KIDS,and
GARAM. (hcode1.1.tar.Z in /pub/hangul or /pub/korean)
It should be easy to port to PC as it's written in C.
It's very fast and you can add code not in distribution by changing incldue
file. It was written by jylee@hilbert.cims.nyu.edu.(June-Yup Lee)

Subject:  10) Are there Internet BBS' in Korea?

  There are three to the best of my knowledge. Most articles there are in
HANGUL so that you must have facility at least to read HANGUL.  

  ARA  BBS:  ara.kaist.ac.kr. (143.248.1.53) Login name: bbs
  KIDS BBS:  kids.kotel.co.kr. (147.6.11.151) Login name: kids
  SNU  BBS:  sun330.snu.ac.kr. (147.46.80.5)  Login name: bbs

  You can enter these BBS either using TELNET or using RLOGIN.
  With no Hangul facility, executing 'telnet bbs_address |hcode -kr' or
'rlogin bbs_address |hcode -kr' enable you to read articles in Hangul in
romanized form.  (Of course, you have to get hcode source and compile it.
See Subject 9 for hcode)
  
  These BBS' are good places to ask about HANGUL because there are many UNIX
and HANGUL guru on these BBS and they're more than willing to answer your
questions. You can ask in English and they would assume that you cannot read
Hangul and answer in English. 

  One more to add.  Making your account at KIDS BBS, you can save some money.
KIDS is available to public (those without INTERNET access) so that you can
correspond with your parents,friends,or relatives in Seoul(Of course, one
can make a long distance call to connect to KIDS from cities other than
Seoul) electronically. Its telephone numbers are listed on KIDS notice
board.
