(1) What is chdrv?
Ans: 	Chdrv is a Chinese Terminal Simulator.It can display Chinese without
 	X-Windows.It is originally based on VGALIB,but many functions
	has be reinplemented by ASM codes for efficiency.

(2) Which is newest version of chdrv?
Ans:	The newest version is 0.4pl1.

(3) Which equipment required by chdrv?
Ans:	Because it base on VGALIB,a VGA or super VGA monitor is required.

(4) How to implement new input method in chdrv?
Ans:	The system render a multi input method.It is driven by table.The 
content of table is including TAG of input method,keymap,and translation
table.The detail structure is described in INSTALL.BIG5.The dayi.def is 
a self-explained example.There is a compiler for translating *.def to *.tbl
After you complete this table,you must register it in /etc/multitab.


(5) When I exit Chinese console,the system is crash.What's matter?
Ans:	This is a bugs in 0.4pl1.This version deal with switch console in
a wrong way.So you should not switch to a console and exit right now.
Because when you switch to a console,it still in the console before screen.
It will change when do some display.So before this bugs is fixed,you should
type ls before exit.

(6) How to install HBF font?
Ans: 	Chdrv has two style for installing font. The internal style and the HBF
style.The internal is quicker but you must setup style configuration file by
yourself.The HBF is about 10% slower than internal style but there are a
large set of font style configuration file avaiable.
	The configuation file can be changed by setting enviroment variable
CHFONT.But it is read when chdrv startup.This is to say that you can't
change font inline.If you want to use another font,you should kill ttyserver
from memory and restrat.

	
(7) Can I use GB code in chdrv?
Ans:	Yes,you can.The file hbffont is an example.You should have a simple-
style font file such as cclib.16 and the corresponding HBF style file.And you
must setup enviroment variable CHFONTDIR to the directory where the GB font 
file is.The internal style can't support code system other than BIG5.So you
must use HBF for GB code.


(8) How to install font in chdrv?
Ans:	16x16 display font has described in above.The 24x24 printed font is
setup by a shell-script setfont24.You should prepare some HBF font file and
style file and put style file in the same directory as setfont24.The font file
put in a directory setup by enviroment variable CHFONTDIR.The print driver in
0.4pl1 is cnprint2.20.It generate PS file.So you should setup gsprint accord
to your printer.

(9) Can I run chdrv in non-Linux system?
Ans:	No,at least in the near future.In fact,the port is rather easy.There
are two section of file is system-dependent.This first is VGALIB.The other is
console switching.

(10) Can I use Mule in chdrv?
Ans:	I don't try it.But someone report NOT.

(11) Which editor can use in chdrv?
Ans:	elvis and joe can be used.

(12) Can I input Chinese in shell?
Ans:	NO,a patch to bash is required.

(13) Can I translate *.cit in cxterm to chdrv?
Ans:	No,you can't.But it should be easy implemented.
