GB2BMP PROGRAM PACKAGE ===================================== GB2BMP is a MS-WINDOWS program that reads GB or CWD text files or data in CWD's clipboard and convert them to bitmap files of WINDOWS format. Therefore, GB2BMP can be used as a tool program to "play" with Chinese characters: inserting Chinese characters into a true WINDOWS file, making new characters, creating WINDOWS' wall paper, etc. GB2BMP can output up to 80 Chinese characters in one single file. The orientation of the bmp file can be selected as either vertical or horizontal. The Chinese character files include both simplified and traditional fonts. Although this program was initially developed for those CWD 4.0 shareware uses who requested enabling BMP file output function, it is also useful for CWD registered users who run CWD under MS-WINDOWS and for other Chinese word processor users. Please note that this program is distributed as a free software in hope that it is useful but without any warranty.
