Dear Mac users on the net, I am going to upload a new hanzi viewer for Mac
Plus and above, called MacViewHZ.  This small program is very similar to
the "MacHanzi" program in function, ie. it will let you view and print
Chinese text files encoded in either GB or BIG5 format, without Chinese OS
system.  The main advantage of MacViewHZ over MacHanzi is that MacViewHZ
has a vertical scroll bar control and it let you scroll a long file, such
as HXWZ, just like you would do in a word processor.  You can scroll line
by line or screen by screen, or simply drag the control to anywhere you
desire.  You now can see the end of a long file right away without having
to go through all the screens from the beginning of the file.  MacViewHZ
can also print GB files in 24 by 24 font, which has about the same quality
as that of postscript files, from MacGB2PS for example, and you don't need
postscript printer to print under MacViewHZ.
You will need to ftp tow 16 by 16 font files "cclib.16" and "chinese.16"
from ifcss.org.  Make sure you have the exact name and put them in the
same folder with MacViewHZ.
If you have any problems or suggestions, e-mail me.
