Installation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is it? WebEditor is written with Java(tm) Internet Programming Language. It uses an EXTENDED CANGJIE input method which is based on the CANGJIE input method described in the document written by ¥î¨}²± . WedEditor supports a straight forwards conversion between BIG5 and GB characters. Please aware that the conversion from GB to BIG5 is inaccurate and information might be lost during the conversion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements WebEditor is now only released in the Unix operating system. You will need an Unix account with X-window access in order to run WebEditor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation 1. Download the file WebEditor1.0.tar.gz to your home directory. 2. Expand the file with commands "gunzip WebEditor1.0.tar.gz" and "tar xvf WebEditor1.0.tar". 3. Download the BIG5 bdf fonts into the directory WebEditor1.0/fonts/b5/ and the GB bdf fonts into the directory WebEditor1.0/fonts/gb/. 4. Add the class directory into the CLASSPATH variable at your login startup file. e.g. setenv CLASSPATH ~/WebEditor1.0:~/WebEditor1.0/editpkg 5. Type "java editor" to start the WebEditor. The bdf fonts are available in ftp://ifcss.org/pub/software/fonts/. The program will convert the bdf files to binary files at their first use. The first user of the fonts need to have write access to the font directory WebEditor1.0/fonts. This procedure is slow but the bdf files will no longer be needed afterward. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
