Subject: how to use the chinese bitmap library with GB
Date: 9 Nov 1992 10:14:45 GMT
Organization: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena
NNTP-Posting-Host: punisher.caltech.edu

Hi, anybody who knows about the format of the chinese characters bitmap
library.`

   I am currently building a chip that can read in GB codes and display the
corresponding bitmaps on a LCD.  To do that I need to store the whole chinese`
bitmap library on a piece of EPROM.  I am thinking of using any of the chinese 
character library availbale on software but I need to know the format they are 
store on disk. ( In my project, I am going to use the GB code (16 bits) as the
upper 16 bits address of the corresponding bitmap on EPROM.)  Any information onhow to display the bitmap by giving its GB code in software level will be helpful.  Any other information on this GB and bitmap business will be appreciated. 
HELP, HELP, HELP,HELP.

also, for those experts who is willing to help me, please send at least one
copy to my e-maill address:
     siou@cco.caltech.edu
Thanks ahead.

Sincerely,

Look, StM.  You have your freedom of speech, you have your freedom to say
what-bloody-ever you want.  And I, by the same right, have the right to tell
you that, when you call what I believe nonsense, I am offended and hurt by it.
I think, by this point, that it will do me no good to do this, however, because
you have in the past show yourself to be completely insensitive and unwilling
to budge an iota on this matter.  I'd like it if you could prove me wrong, 
and--though I pretty much know that nothing short of divine intervention would
ever change your mind on the matter--at least go so far as to use tact when you
state your opinions.

I had to stop myself several times before I stuck flaming material in this
posting, and it still probably is a little more heated than I'd like, and I
apologize to the rest of you if it is a little strong.  But it irritates me
that, while other people can calmly agres to disagree, and state their opinions
on the matter reasonably, StM comes _this_ close to flaming whenever the topic
comes up.

When they used their concert settings as platforms for political
expression they went against their early ideal of their music
being their message.  Also, their songs became more strongly
influenced by their politics.

Yes, Beth, that is really what I meant.  But I also mean that
it is only recently that we have begun to really live up to
the rhetoric of freedom that is contained in our constitution
and bill of rights.  The strain from doing this is beginning
to show upon the system, and it is not yet clear whether
there will be an overcorrection towards tyranny in reaction
to theses stresses.
