CapsLock doesn't seems to be working here -- otherwise you should be 
seeing either the pinyin input status line or (if that can't come
up) capital letters.

Be aware that some system's Capslock status light can go out of sync.

Also be sure that you are using the latest version of ZWDOS.

Dear netters,

I use the tools present at the ahkcus.org site to convert GB, BIG5 and HZ
encoded Chinese into PostScript with great success. I was wondering whether it
would be possible to obtain a 24x24 font which is compatible with the
chinese.16 (16x16) font I am currently using.

Thanks in advance

I remenber I retrieved this software from kythera.nmsu.edu, IP:
128.123.1.14 via anonymous ftp. I am not sure it's still right.
It's a good one to use. The author, Wang Jingbai (also my friend) 
has VMS and DOS versions of it. Good luck!

Yes. You can use regular word processors (such as WordPerfect) to edit
Chinese using zwdos.  Here's what you need to do:

 (1) load zwdos;
 (2) start word processor;
 (3) enter some HZ or zW codes such as "~{" ;
 (4) wait for screen to switch to Chinese mode (or press Alt-{ if you
     have loaded zwdos in manual mode);
 (5) turn on the capslock, this allows you to use pinyin to enter
     Chinese characters.

In HZ coding, Chinese text are enclosed between ~{ and ~} ,
everything else could be regular Ascii/Englist text.

ZWDOS 2.1 doesn't let you print Chinese from WordPerfect, however, the
next major release of ZWDOS, due in a couple of months (not a promise:-)),
will allow you to use any word processors to print Chinese texts to
dot matrix or laserjet printers.

ChiRK also runs with any computer which can run a TeKtronics emulation program.
For example, it works with VersaTerm-PRO 3.0.1 running on a Macintosh.
It does not require a Chinese Operating System or Chinese font files on
the Macintosh.

Hello netter,

	I tried to get format of Chinese Characters from this newsgroup.  I
tried on it by ChineseTalk II and MacHanzi, but I am still received an
invalid data.  What's of this format?  (Our system are don't support to have
chinese characters, so there is one way I known is dowmload to Macintosh and
read it.)  Here is example of format:

!o  VP9zDO7=5D776>W_K=T=@4T=2~?q#,RT3IN*DO7=8wJ!5DM7:E4sNJLb!#
(~{!o~}  ~{VP9zDO7=5D776>W_K=T=@4T=2~?q#,RT3IN*DO7=8wJ!5DM7:E4sNJLb!#~})

	Do you have any idea about this?  If there have any anonymous FTP, then
please give me an address with path.  Thank you for your help...

Please reply to me via E-mail.  My address is jwr7133@ultb.isc.rit.edu.

Here they are:
Zhi(3)~{V8~}Jian(1)~{<i~}
when you type zhi SPACE, zwdos will give you a list of words.
and you will also see something like: 23+3
this means the selector cursor is on the 23th word and there is 3 more.
but DON'T just use PgDn key to find more words, you need also use
PgUp key to find the words before the 23th word.
