NAME

       gcin - an input method server

SYNOPSIS

       gcin [-h|-v|--version]

DESCRIPTION

       gcin  is  an input method(IM) server, which focused mainly on Traditional Chinese. It is also very useful for Simplified Chinese, Japanese,
       and many other languages. IM table format of gcin is almost as same as those of scim and xcin. Users may append their IMs to gcin very eas-
       ily. The "g" of gcin means that it features a better GTK+ user interface.

       If you are looking for configuration tool of gcin, please see the manpage of gcin-tools.

NAME

       dxhanziim - An input server for Simplified Chinese

DESCRIPTION

       In  a  Motif environment such as CDE, Asian language input methods are supported by independent processes called input servers. The Simpli-
       fied Chinese input server (dxhanziim) is an X client process that can run on a standard X server, provided that the server system  has  the
       required  Simplified Chinese fonts installed. This means that the input server can run on any system that can access your X display device,
       including the device itself.

   Starting the Input Server
       If your CDE session language is set to Simplified Chinese, the Simplified Chinese input server is started automatically, and both the  lan-
       guage  setting  and  the  Simplified Chinese input method is available for applications that you start during that session. If your session
       language is not set to Simplified Chinese, you can switch to Simplified Chinese from a terminal emulation window by setting the LANG  envi-
       ronment	variable  to a Simplified Chinese locale. From the same terminal emulation window, you must also use the command line to start the
       Simplified Chinese input method server and then other applications in which you want to use Simplified Chinese.

       You can start the input server on your local workstation by using the following command:

       % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim &

       If you want to start the input server on a remote system, log on the remote system, and enter the following commands. Substitute  the  name
       of your local system for <display_name> in the first command.

       % setenv DISPLAY <display_name>:0 % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim &

       After  the  input  server is started, any Motif applications that have been internationalized to support Simplified Chinese can communicate
       with the server to obtain input method services. However, remember that these applications must be started after the server is started.

RESTRICTIONS

       This input server uses X11R6. It can connect to input-method clients running X11R4, X11R5, or X11R6 under the same locale. However, support
       for  multiple monitors (multi-head systems) is available only to clients also running X11R6. Support for multiple monitors is not available
       to input-method clients using X11R5 or X11R4.

       If you are using a PC-style keyboard, the input server may not recognize the Backspace key as the way to delete the previous  character	in
       the input method preediting area. In this case, you must use the Delete key to delete the character.

       The default Alt-Space key sequence for activating and deactivating the input method may not work under CDE. In this case, invoke the dialog
       box for Input Method Customization and change the key sequence for Start Input Method and End Input Method to be something other than  Alt-
       Space. For example, you could change the sequence to be Ctrl-Space.
