Description:

The package includes:
flashcard.arc  !Flashcard and font files
font1.arc       Font
font2.arc       Font
zhongwen.arc   !ZhongWen

!ZhongWen is a text editor which can edit using Chinese characters.  It
can view and edit Chinese texts in "Guobiao" code format. Pinyin is
used for entering Chinese characters, with a selection window to
display possible matches.  "Big5" files (traditional characters) can be
viewed but not edited.  Latin characters can be entered by switching to
text mode.  Clicking ADJUST on a character pops up a box showing the
pinyin for it (and the underlying two-byte code).  So if your knowledge
of characters is a bit dodgy you can easily find out what they are.

!FlashCard is a simple program to display Chinese characters in either
simplified (Jianti) or traditional (Fanti) form from standard 'card' files.
These also contain the 'pin-yin' pronunciation for the characters and the
English translations. It is intended mainly as an aid to recognising the
characters. Some sample card files based on the book 'A Practical Chinese
Reader' have been included.
