COMPAQ Software Product Description ________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: OpenVMS/Hanzi Alpha Operation System, SPD 46.75.07 Version 7.3-1 DESCRIPTION Open VMS/Hanzi 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 Hanzi terminals and printers via On-Demand Loading, a dynamic font loading feature. OpenVMS/Hanzi supports 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 supports an extension area of 8836 character positions in the form of user-defined characters. This SPD describes only the Chinese specific features of OpenVMS /Hanzi 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).
