COMPAQ Software Product Description ________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: OpenVMS/Hanyu Alpha Operation System, SPD 46.74.07 Version 7.3-1 DESCRIPTION Open VMS/Hanyu Alpha V7.3-1 is a general-purpose multiuser op- eration system that supports Chinese data processing in Compaq Computer Corporation's Alpha series computers in both production and development environments. It is the Chinese version of Open- VMS Operating System for Alpha V7.3-1 which extends base OpenVMS to provide an operating system environment to support Chinese and ASCII characters. It extends and enhances the system utili- ties and environment to facilitate processing of Chinese data. Utilities are provided to facilitate the design and maintenance of user-defined characters. Output of user-defined characters is supported on DEC Hanyu terminals and printers via On-Demand Loading, a dynamic font loading feature. OpenVMS/Hanyu supports Chinese data representation that conforms to the National Bureau of Standards CNS11643, the Standard Interchange Code for Generally-used Chinese Characters (SICGCC, 1986) of Taiwan. The EDPC Recommended Character Set defined by Electronic Data Processing Center of the Executive Yuan of Taiwan is also supported as a standard option. This SPD describes only the Chinese specific features of OpenVMS /Hanyu Alpha which are extensions or additions to base OpenVMS. For a description of the base functionality and supported envi- ronment of OpenVMS, refer to the Compaq OpenVMS Operating System for Alpha and VAX, Version 7.3 and Alpha Version 7.3-1 SPD (SPD 25.01.xx).

Utilities OpenVMS/Hanyu Alpha provides the following utilities to support Chinese processing in addition to the base OpenVMS utilities: HTPU/HEVE HTPU is the Chinese extended version of the DEC Text Processing Utility (DECTPU) providing built-in procedures with enhancement on Chinese text processing. Additional Chinese features are: o Full form and half form character conversion o Character class classification o Line drawing capability o 2/4-byte symbol composition o 2/4-byte Chinese character deletion and cursor movement o 2/4-byte Chinese character wrapping 3 OpenVMS/Hanyu Alpha Operation System, SPD 46.74.07 Version 7.3-1 o Pattern matching including 2/4-byte Chinese characters HEVE is the Chinese extended version of the Extensible Versatile Editor (EVE) running on HTPU providing a general-purpose Chinese screen editor to process Chinese and ASCII characters. Extended commands which include features such as Chinese word manipula- tion, line drawing, box drawing and column editing capabilities are available. Chinese SORT/MERGE SORT/MERGE in OpenVMS/Hanyu is the Chinese extended version of the SORT/MERGE utility. The following Chinese collating sequences are supported: o Radical o Number of strokes o Phonetic code o Internal code Both ascending and descending order of sorting are supported. Multiple collating sequences can be specified for the same sort key in a single sort. I/O interfaces, namely file interface and record interface, on the above Chinese collating sequences are supported. HMAIL HMAIL extends the OpenVMS MAIL utility to support Chinese in subjects, personal names and folder names. Folders can be dis- played according to specified Chinese collating sequences. In addition, it supports operations which involve searching of strings that contain Chinese characters. HMAIL invokes HTPU as the default editor. 4 OpenVMS/Hanyu Alpha Operation System, SPD 46.74.07 Version 7.3-1 Character Manager (CMGR) CMGR in OpenVMS/Hanyu Alpha provides a font editor and a set of commands to facilitate creation of user-defined character fonts. Collating values can also be associated with user-defined characters for sorting. Phrase Input Utility The Phrase Input Utility facilitates creation and maintenance of user-defined database for frequently used phrases and input sequences for those phrases. Input of these phrases can then be done using the defined input sequence on supported terminals which provide this facility. HDUMP HDUMP enhances the DUMP utility to display contents of files or volumes containing both Chinese and ASCII characters. Wrapping of Chinese characters at field boundary is handled correctly. HEDT HEDT is an interactive Chinese text editor, providing many text processing enhancements to the OpenVMS EDT. The following features are provided in addition to the EDT functions: o Full DEC Hanyu Character Set Support: - Full form and half form character conversion - Character code input in hexadecimal, octal and internal codes o Chinese Text Processing Functions: - Automatic horizontal scrolling when 80 columns are ex- ceeded - Column select for cut and paste 5 OpenVMS/Hanyu Alpha Operation System, SPD 46.74.07 Version 7.3-1 - ASCII/Chinese word wrapping - Left/center/right justification - Set left and right margins - Line drawing/table filling - Chinese date/time - Cursor line/column display - Editing modes: * absolute insert * absolute overwrite * insert within fixed ruler lines * overwrite within fixed ruler lines Chinese SEARCH Chinese SEARCH is the Chinese version of OpenVMS SEARCH utility. It supports Chinese characters in the search string. Terminal Fallback Facility The Terminal Fallback Facility (TFF) is extended to support character conversions on Chinese terminals and printers which support BIG 5 and TELEX CODE Character Sets (2 bytes). It allows these terminals and printers to input and output Chinese charac- ters in the SICGCC (1986) Character Set by converting characters going to and from them. This character conversion is performed through a character table transparent to application software. 6 OpenVMS/Hanyu Alpha Operation System, SPD 46.74.07 Version 7.3-1 DEBUG Utility DEBUG utility is enhanced to support Chinese characters on both character cell terminal and graphic (DECwindows Motif) interface workstation. Users can input Chinese characters in DEBUG utility. The DEBUG utility is able to print and echo Chinese characters in its output. In order to utilize DEBUG for Chinese characters support, the locale files for Chinese is required to be installed on OpenVMS/Hanyu Alpha Version 7.3-1 from the VMSI18N savesets. The VMSI18N savesets can be found in the OpenVMS distribution media and the locale file for Chinese characters support in OpenVMS/Hanyu is "Chinese".
