Hewlett-Packard Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: HP OpenVMS/Hanzi for Alpha Version 8.3 Operating Systems SPD 46.75.09 DESCRIPTION HP OpenVMS/Hanzi Alpha Version 8.3 is a general-purpose multiuser op- eration system that supports Chinese data processing in HP's Alpha com- puter families in both production and development environments. It is the Chinese version of HP OpenVMS Operating System for Alpha Version 8.3 which extends base HP OpenVMS to provide an operating system en- vironment to support Chinese and ASCII characters. It extends and en- hances the system utilities 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 char- acters is supported on DEC Hanzi terminals and printers via On-Demand Loading, a dynamic font loading feature. HP OpenVMS/Hanzi supports Chinese data representation that conforms to the Primary Set of National Standard Code of Chinese Graphic Char- acter Set for Information Interchange (GB2312-80) of the People's Re- public of China. In addition, HP OpenVMS/Hanzi supports an extension area of 8836 character positions in the form of user-defined charac- ters. This SPD describes only the Chinese specific features of HP OpenVMS/Hanzi which are extensions or additions to base HP OpenVMS. For a descrip- tion of the base functionality and supported environment of HP Open- VMS, refer to the HP OpenVMS for Alpha and Integrity Servers Versions 8.3 Software Product Description (SPD 82.35.xx).

Utilities HP OpenVMS/Hanzi provides the following utilities to support Chinese processing in addition to the base HP OpenVMS utilities: HTPU/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 2-byte symbol composition o 2-byte Chinese character deletion and cursor movement o 2-byte Chinese character wrapping 3 HP OpenVMS/Hanzi for Alpha Version 8.3 o Pattern matching including 2-byte 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. Chinese SORT/MERGE SORT/MERGE in HP OpenVMS/Hanzi is the Chinese extended version of the SORT/MERGE utility. The following Chinese collating sequences are sup- ported: o Radical o Number of strokes o Pinyin (the Chinese phonetic alphabet) o Quwei code Both ascending and descending order of sorting are supported. Multi- ple collating sequences can be specified for the same sort key in a single sort. I/O interfaces, namely file interface and record inter- face, on the above Chinese collating sequences are supported. HMAIL HMAIL extends the HP OpenVMS MAIL utility to support Chinese in sub- jects, personal names and folder names. Folders can be displayed ac- cording to specified Chinese collating sequences. In addition, it sup- ports operations which involve searching of strings that contain Chi- nese characters. HMAIL invokes HTPU as the default editor. 4 HP OpenVMS/Hanzi for Alpha Version 8.3 Character Manager (CMGR) CMGR in HP OpenVMS/Hanzi provides a font editor and a set of commands to facilitate creation of user-defined character fonts. Collating val- ues can also be associated with user-defined characters for sorting. HDUMP HDUMP enhances the DUMP utility to display contents of files or vol- umes containing both Chinese and ASCII characters. Wrapping of Chi- nese characters at field boundary is handled correctly. HEDT HEDT is an interactive Chinese text editor, providing many text pro- cessing enhancements to the HP OpenVMS EDT. The following features are provided in addition to the EDT functions: o Full DEC Hanzi Character Set Support: - Full form and half form character conversion - Character code input in hexadecimal, octal and Quwei codes o Chinese Text Processing Functions: - Automatic horizontal scrolling when 80 columns are exceeded - 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 5 HP OpenVMS/Hanzi for Alpha Version 8.3 - 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 HP OpenVMS SEARCH utility. It supports Chinese characters in the search string. Debugger Utility Debugger 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 Debugger utility. The De- bugger utility is able to print and echo Chinese characters in its out- put. In order to utilize Debugger for Chinese characters support, the locale files for Chinese is required to be installed on HP OpenVMS/Hanzi from the VMSI18N kit. The VMSI18N kit can be found in the HP OpenVMS distribution media and the locale file for Chinese characters support in OpenVMS/Hanzi is "Chinese".
