ChiRK-1.1 is available at :
	crl.nmsu.edu

Andy Kou ( [email-masked]) has added the BIG5 support into the program,
also if you have problem with 1.0 please try the new version, many bugs
have been fixed.

I have to take a break now :-)

Changes:  ChiRK 1.1 ( March 20, 1992)

 Changes from ChiRK 1.0   ( March 16, 1992):

        * Added BIG5 support, by Andy Kou ([email-masked]).
        * Added total page number at status line, suggested by Lin Wei of
          HuaXiaWenZhai ([email-masked]).
        * The "squeezing" process of bitmap font on 40 char/line screen
          was made simpler to fit BIG5 font. GB users are recommanded to
          use vector font.
        * Keyboard stop( Ctrl-Z) and resume functions are now smooth.

 Bug fixes of ChiRK 1.0 :

        * A silly bug in Makefile causes compiling errors on System-5
          machines. ( term.c)
        * Memory allocation problem causes segmentation fault on
          some machines. (chirk.c)
        * Possibly a compiler bug of SUN UNIX 4.2 complaint about type
          mismatch of ':' operator. (text.c)
        * A type casting error messed up the bitmap mode on SUN.
        * Wrong order between screen mode switching and keyboard mode
          switching made interrupts handling unstable. (chirk.c)
        * any more?

  Thank all the users who reported the problems and gave me kind comments.
     Sorry, there're too many of them to list here. Also I'm grateful to
     Hou, Shouqin of UCSD who kindly provided me temperary accounts on his
     SUN and S.G. IRIS machines so that the codes could be tested.
