Hi there:

I uploaded a chinese GUO BIAO file browser, CHPAD1.ZIP, for WINDOWS to
  ifcss.org  /incoming.
The following is the README.TXT in CHPAD1.ZIP
===================================================================

ChPad v1.0 : A chinese file browser for WINDOWS 3.1
by Tian Bogang,  April 1993
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Two files are included here:
CHPAD.EXE  ----------- a chinese (GUO BIAO) file browser for WINDOWS;
README.TXT ----------- this file.

CHPAD.EXE has the following features:
1) You can use it to read a GUO BIAO file greater than 64k;
2) You can use the mouse to select an area and then copy the selected
   area to clipboard or to a DIB (Device Independent Bitmap) file;
3) You can select the colors of the text and the background when
   reading a file;

To install:
The CHPAD.EXE uses the MISC.DLL and CH16.FON written by Mr. Wang Wei,
the auther of WAY3002 package that are anonymous-ftpable from
ifcss.org, /software/ms-win. So the CHPAD.EXE should be put in the
directory where the MISC.DLL and CH16.FON are found. Alternaltively
you can put the MISC.DLL and CH16.FON in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM, so WINDOWS
can find them, and put CHPAD.EXE in any directory you want.

How to use:
Build a new item for CHPAD.EXE in Programer Manager or just run it
by clicking File/Run memu in Programer Manager. When CHPAD.EXE is
loaded, a help dialog pops up. Just read the help information there.

Warning:
If you have some video driver for double-byte system installed, for
example, that of Twinbridge, CHPAD.EXE will not work well, because
this kind of video driver will try to display any two-byte combination
inside the GUO BIAO range as a chinese character, and the CH16.FON is
really a group of single byte fonts. Actually if you have such a thing
like Twinbridge, you don't need CHPAD.

CHPAD.EXE is free to use and distribute. Thanks to Mr. Wang Wei for
his WAY3002 package. Any bug reports and comments are welcome. Please
