Irchat 2.4 jp19 cn2 Unofficial patched version of irchat.el2.4jp19 to support HZ and Big5 encoded chinese. Require Mule 2.2. Tested on 2.2-PL2 for Linux. Before installing, please make sure chinese fonts (and Japanese fonts if you need) are properly displayed on your Mule environment. Except for normal irchat setting, following variables can be set in your ~/.irchat.el or ~/.emacs. (setq irchat-hz-flag t) ; Enable HZ encoding. (setq irchat-big5-flag t) ; Enable raw Big5. Both flags can be set at the same time. "\C-ch" and "\C-c5" toggle each variable in Command-buffer. Note: The function of GB<->Big5 conversion was removed in this version. Additional modification for this version: 1. Character attribute handling (bold, reverse, underline). 2. Proper "/me" handling as same as ircII (CTCP ACTION), "C-ce" in Command-buffer shows prompt for your action message. You can try HZ in channel #hanzi. Big5 in #chinese, #edentw and most of chinese related channels. Suggestion and bug-report to muri@gol1.gol.com (HIROSE Tsutomu). Bacause this is the unofficial version, please do not send any report to original authors.
