COMPAQ Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX Operating System, SPD 25.G6.17 V7.2 DESCRIPTION OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX V7.2 is the Hanzi (Simplified Chinese) version of the OpenVMS V7.2 operating system. OpenVMS/ Hanzi VAX extends Open- VMS VAX to provide an operating system environment to support Chinese and ASCII characters on VAX series computers. On top of the basic func- tions of OpenVMS, OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX extends and enhances the system utilities and environment to process Chinese data. Utilities are pro- vided to facilitate the design and maintenance of user-defined char- acters. Output of user-defined characters is supported on DEC Hanzi terminals and printers via On-Demand Loading, a dynamic font loading feature. OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX supports Simplified Chinese data representation that conforms to the Primary Set of National Standard Code of Chinese Graphic Character Set for Information Interchange (GB2312-80) of the People's Republic of China. In addition, OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX supports an exten- sion area of 8,836 character positions in the form of user-defined char- acters. This SPD describes only the Chinese specific features of OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX which are extensions or additions to OpenVMS. For a description of the base functionality and supported environment of OpenVMS, please refer to OpenVMS Operating System for Alpha and VAX V7.2 SPD (SPD 25.01.xx). MAY 1999 OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX Operating System, SPD 25.G6.17 V7.2 FEATURES OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX provides the following Chinese processing features in addition to the base functionality of OpenVMS. New Feature on World-Wide PostScript Printing Subsystem Starting from this version of OpenVMS/Hanzi, a World-Wide PostScript Printing Subsystem (WWPPS) is provided. WWPPS is a generic text-to- PostScript converter that converts various single-byte and multi-byte characters to printable PostScript, and submit to PostScript printer through OpenVMS Print Symbiont. Please refer to OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX V7.2 Release Notes for details. User Environment OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX provides the following features for general users: Input/Output Input/Output of Chinese and ASCII characters are supported on Chinese terminals/printers.

Wrapping of Chinese char- acters at field boundary is handled correctly. HEDT HEDT is an interactive Chinese text editor, providing many text pro- cessing enhancements to EDT. The following features are provided in addition to EDT functions: o Full DEC Hanzi Character Set Support: - Extended Hanzi character display - Full form and half form character conversion - Character code input in hexadecimal, octal and Quwei codes o Chinese Text Processing Functions: - Automatic horizontal scrolling - Column select for cut and paste - ASCII/Chinese word wrapping - Left/center/right justification - Set left and right margins - Line drawing/table filling - Chinese date/time - Cursor line/column display 4 OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX Operating System, SPD 25.G6.17 V7.2 - Editing modes: * absolute insert * absolute overwrite * insert within fixed ruler lines * overwrite within fixed ruler lines HMAIL HMAIL extends OpenVMS MAIL utility to support Chinese in subjects, per- sonal names and folder names. Folders can be displayed according to specified Chinese collating sequences. In addition, it supports op- erations which involve searching of strings that contain Chinese char- acters. HMAIL invokes HTPU as the default editor. Sort/Merge SORT/MERGE utility in OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX has been extended to handle Chinese data. The following Chinese collating sequences are supported in SORT/MERGE: o Radical o Number of strokes o Pinyin (the Chinese phonetic alphabet) o Quwei 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. 5 OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX Operating System, SPD 25.G6.17 V7.2 Chinese Search The Chinese SEARCH utility is an extended version of the SEARCH util- ity to support Chinese characters in search strings. Character Manager (CMGR) CMGR in OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX provides a font editor and a set of commands to facilitate creation and maintenance of user-defined character fonts. Collating value can also be associated with the user-defined charac- ters for sorting. HTPU and HEVE HTPU is the Chinese extended version of the DEC Text Processing Util- ity (DECTPU) providing built-in procedures with enhancement on Chi- nese text processing. Additional Chinese features are: o Full form and half form character conversion o Character class classification o Line drawing capability o Symbol composition o Chinese character deletion and cursor movement o Chinese character wrapping o Pattern matching including Chinese characters HEVE is the Chinese extended version of the Extensible Versatile Ed- itor (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 manipulation, line drawing, box drawing and column editing capabilities are available. 6 OpenVMS/Hanzi VAX Operating System, SPD 25.G6.17 V7.2 DEBUG Utility DEBUG utility is enhanced to support Chinese characters on both char- acter cell terminal and graphic (DECwindows Motif) interface worksta- tion. 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/Hanzi VAX V7.2 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/Hanzi is "Chinese".
