                  *          Introduction            *
                  ************************************  

The following list contains some information on existing programs and  
systems useful for CJK data processing. The structure and the items 
already included are by no means final. Please comment on it. If you 
consider it useful, I would like to update this list regulary. So be so
kind to send corrections and additions. There are some items, where 
you'll find hardly more than the pure names. Fore these and other items
outdated or not correct, it would be very much appreciated, if expecially 
those who work with such a system, could send the relevant information.
For new users it would be very important to get information on where and  
how to get a system. It should be allowed to have multiple addresses in
the field "VEndor". 
  
One way to access the information in this ASCII text is the UNIX command  
GREP which allows search for special strings within a file or a groupe 
of files.  
                Example : GREP "^SY " chiprog  
where "chiprog" is the name of the file containing the program informations, 
will list all the lines beginning with "SY ". Thus you'll immediatly
get a list of all the Systems, for which there a programs described. Or use  
                          GREP "^TI " chiprog  
and you have a list of the programs described in the file "chiprog". For  
those who contribute to the this database it means, that it's best  
if all the most important information and keywords appear in the first 
line of a field beginning with the two capital letters. 
  
For DOS users there exists the program FGREP, which allows similar search 
as the UNIX-GREP, but not containing as many options. For display of all  
the lines containing the String "TI " in upper case, you type:
                         FGREP -c "TI " chiprog

With FGREP you might also construct a batch file which allows for the search
of two words combined with a logical AND. If this batch file is called GREP
one could say:
                         GREP SY DOS
The result would be all the lines containing the header "SY" and on the  
same line the word DOS, i.e. all programms which need the DOS operating 
system. Since the first four characters are the line number on the main 
file (CHIPROG.TXT), one can look up the whole program information very 
quickly by jumping to the said line number. When you use MICROemacs, one
may load the main file as well as the output file of FGREP into two windows
of emacs. This batch file:

  @ECHO OFF
  CLS
  IF %1.==. GOTO anzeige
  ECHO Use ctrl-X X to change to the main file then jump to the desired line >t
  ECHO --------------------------------------------------------------------- >>t
  IF %2.==. GOTO ohne
  FGREP -lc %1 chiprog.txt > a 
  FGREP  %2 a >> t 
  GOTO weiter
  :ohne
  FGREP -l %1 chiprog.txt >> t 
  GOTO weiter
  :anzeige
  ECHO USE: grep word1 word2
  GOTO ende
  :weiter
  memacs t chiprog.txt
  :ENDE

The list comes in a format that makes it easy to incorporate the data  
in a DBS system if need arises. In the present form it is also very 
easy to make changes to the structure.
  
As long as the list is short I think it will be OK to post it to the
two relevant list (ccNet and Zhongwen)  as it is. Additions will 
probably also be distributed through the list. At a later moment it 
should be made available in a archive.
  
Of cours the administrator of these product informations cannot be  
held responsible for mistakes and omissions. This holds true especially
for prizes and addresses. 
  
Most of the informations have been collected by myself. But whenever
I could get hold of some other list (mostly on list servers) I included
the new informations. Credit is given to these authors in the field 
indicating the person who contributed (to) the item. 

Dealers in Chinese software who appear more than just a few times
are listed here. In the VEndor field they will be refered by a short
name. (This list by now contains more addresses than needed for the 
main body of the data below. When I encounter a Chinese computing
related address I add it to the list, because one never knows when  
one needs it.). There appeared so many catalogues of Chinese software
that it is not possible to indicate all the vendors of a particular 
software. I would like to have one or two vendor addresses for each
software.
