- First I'd like to thank all the people who sent mail about
- my previous posting (cc insanity).
- I disklabel'ed my HDD with 20MB swap partition, newfs new partition,
- and reinstalled 386bsd. Then, voila! it worked!
- Now I am enjoying the 'not-dying' system. (although it's slow still)
-
- ...But another problem occured during using the 'hanterm', Korean version
- of xterm. It can display Korean texts with MSB set (the same to most
- oriental languages, such as kanji etc), but I couldn't input Korean text.
- Hanterm itself provides Korean input automata, and it should work well
- with X11R5. Another test shows that kernel seems to have trouble with
- multibyte characters.
- % cat
- test
- test (echoed to tty)
- ^D
- % cat
- xxxx(entered korean characters -- it can be seen when typing)
- (but no echo to tty!)
- ^D (this DIDN'T work)
- ^C
- %
- So, what's the problem? If I cannot use hangul in 386bsd, it loses
- practicality...Help!
