Hi There!

Is there someone who can give me a hand to understand the weird codes in
the
chinese text that are said to represent Chinese characters?  I am dying to
read the Chinese but all I can find now are  those  codes like -=~43.  I
would be very grateful for any help.

I think your wife is talking about Tsang Chieh ~{2Vr!~} input method, 
which is also supported by NJStar too.  However, you need to find the
key template for your self.  If you can find the template, you may 
also write those root characters to the keyboard by yourself.  For 
instance, you put ~{HU~} at key A, ~{TB~} at key B, etc.  Certainly
you need to know which key is used for what root characters.  NJStar's
registered version include this information.

For people from Taiwan, another easy way to use NJStar is BoPoMoFo.
NJStar has three keymapping for this input method, Eten emulation,
KuoChiao emulation, and NJStar style.  Ask your wife if she knows
BoPoMoFo, which is also known as Kuo Yu Chu Yin Fu Hao.

Again, you need to mark your key with BoPoMoFo signs at your keyboard
so that you can enter them more smoothly if you can't remember which
is which.

Good luck.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY !
It is with regret that I perform this task. Dr. Gelson V. Gomes. a
professor of the University of Parana, Brazil, has exceeded this

I must apologize for this flagrant breach of network etiquette. Please

the rules of our ANSP network, and also against the Bitnet rules.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY!
I will not discuss what his motivations were. But his account has been

Please write by normal mail, to:

He crosses to kitten, and awkwardly puts an arm round her shoulders, saying

I'll second that! The office I had for most of the last seven years would
have made a fairly good bomb shelter. No windows, and squarely in the
middle of the basement of a largish two-story building. My new office that
came with my new job sort of has a window - If you count looking out a
window into a lobby,through one of three windows on the far side, looking
into a library, and on the far side of that through yet another set of
windows that finally looks out on the outside world. The farthest pane of
glass is about 100 feet away. The total view out any of the three could be
eclipsed by one of my thumbs, held at arms length. A postage-stamp world
view.

kitten has a great click! story for the group (a click! is when
something happens that triggers a great revelation--often about
sexism. i think the term was coined by gloria steinem).

the scene:  driving home from football practice (me, t.c. and lee--15
year old stepson)

lee:  a friend of mine took a military aptitude test today

t.c.:  how did he do?

lee:  IT WAS A SHE....YOU SEXIST SLIME!

(unfortunately the discussion of women in the military degenerated
into a discussion of a special forces group that only gets sent out
once a month...the PMS squad)

little things like this give me hope for the younger generation...

Probably true, except that they will need that armor to play American
football at the modern NFL level.  Without it, the NFL team will kill them
and eat them.  That armor is amazingly strong stuff, and it still fails
occasionally, which tells you something about the forces that it is
absorbing.  I don't know exactly *why* NFL football needs the stuff and
rugby doesn't, but the NFL *does* need it.  Since we used to play the game
with far less armor, I suspect that playing style has evolved roughly in
parallel with the technology.  The more armor your opponent is wearing, the
harder you can hit him and the dirtier shots you can take while keeping the
injury rate roughly constant.

BTW, DM.  You'll have to take me to a rugby game if I make it down under.
I've never been to one.

(for our overseas patrons: ACLU = American Civil Liberties Union)

Agreed... although sometimes you end up supporting dubious causes.  A good
example is when the KKK (or Ayran Nation, or some such outfit) was planning
a march in some Midwestern town that had a very high percentage of Holocaust
survivors... the authorities tried to prevent the march, and the ACLU came
down on the side of the KKK-- which is entirely consistent with their pur-
pose.  They and Amnesty International are among the only organizations doing
any real work to abolish the death penalty (*please*, let's not start this
argument again), and they've been instrumental in many free-speech and search-
and-seizure cases.  I was hugely amused by George Bush's accusation in the
1988 election that Mike Dukakis was "a card-carrying member of the ACLU"
(to those of Bush's ilk, the ACLU is practically the definition of the weenie-
do-gooder-far-left-liberal organization).  Membership in the ACLU skyrocketed
following that remark.
