developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
hbf.tar.gz seems to get generated automatically by tarring up the directory
on the distribution site. XXX: This should be fixed, the files in that
dir haven't changed for ca. 5 years now.
CNPRINT is a utility to print Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) text
(or convert to PostScript) under DOS, VMS and UNIX systems. It
works just as a print command on your system. Currently GB, Hz,
zW, BIG5, CNS, JIS, EUC, Shift-JIS, KSC, UTF8, UTF7 and UTF16
formats are supported.
CNPRINT also has many other features, among them:
* print all CJK codes using a single Unicode CJK font
* print GB using Big5 fonts or print Big5 using GB fonts
* multiple columns, vertical printing, change font or character
size within document
* phrase-based GB<->BIG5 conversions
* built-in HZ<->GB conversion
* repair/re-format functions for CJK text
* envelope and address label printing
* decode MIME quoted printable (=20=3C=5E like text)
* true type fonts (TTF) support
With its full Unicode support, it should be able to print other
language (e.g. Thai, Vietnames, Arabic as well). For more information,
please read the help file.
