For those who have access to USENET, I've posted an article about how to read Hangul News on news-groups han.* some time ago. First, you need some form of Hangul emulator; currently, IYAGI for DOS and X-client hanterm for UNIX with X11 are available as Public Domain Software. Once you have the above you're ready to play with Hangul. 1) Dial out Using IYAGI, it's pretty straight forward and I don't think further explanation is needed. Using hanterm, you need to set your tty to support 8 bit char. *) You can do this by doing one of the followings: SunOS, DEC Ultrix, ...generic BSD UNIX: stty pass8. SYSV3, SYSV4: stty -parenb cs8 -istrip. NeXT: stty pass8 pass8out. Check the result of "stty ..." by "stty -a" except NeXT; on NeXT, use "stty everything" to check the status. Also, keep in mind that these tty characteristics will be inherited to sub-created tty. Above tty setup is required on any UNIX host you dial in, too. You may want to put this in your ~/.login file not to worry about every time you log in. Unlike IYAGI for DOS, you also need some dialing comm. software that supports 8 bit tranparent mode; one of the example is ckermit with "set term byte 8" and "set com byte 8" setting. Currently, the most rescent version of ckermit is 5A BETA 188; you can get this from the home of KERMIT - watsun.cc.columbia.edu. 2) After logging in the remote site with Internet connection. You have to go thru the same step explained above (*) to set your tty correctly for 8 bit Hangul. If you care to read Hangul news groups han.*, please read the article I've posted on soc.culture.korean. 3) Logging into Hangul BBS remote site on the Internet. Most cases you don't have to do anything special after setting your tty as explained above; however, on some UNIX like DEC Ultrix, you have to use "rlogin <remote-site> -8" in order to transmit 8 bit Hangul char. Now, you're ready to enjoy Hangul BBS and don't have to complain about the usage of Hangul in the chatting room. For IRC users, if your are on the Internet, please use your local site with the server near you; coming into KIDS to use IRC will be a great PAIN for both IRCers and non-IRCers due to the net-load. Currently, the officially most rescent IRC client is ircii2.1.5h; but you have to modify the source a little bit - window.c, where you have to remove the masking of MSB in order to use 8 bit Hangul with '-d' option - dumb terminal option, if you have the vanilla source. I've looked thru the code to see if how much work it'll be to support 8 bit hangul in full window mode; and I gave up since it looks like too much work chaning the mapped key-functions table with meta1 & meta2 key sequence checking. Hopely someone with lots of time may change it. Using 'talk', there's modified 'htalk' floating around anony. ftp sites in *.kr; however, you have to be careful using it with the other if the other party does not have it - especially the 'talk' from SunOS doesn't work well with this version of 'htalk'. Hope you enjoy the Hangul! P.S.: due to my blindness to Apple Mac, I cannot help anyone on Mac. Hoply, some Mac hacker posts the usage of Hangul on the Mac. Daeshik Kim ---- |
