- Installing
-
- This version of kterm is based on xterm in the X11R3 distribution. Some
- official patches for X11R3 exist and the first 4 patches must be applied
- for xterm. Patches No.5 through No.9 are all right, because they include
- no patch for xterm. But patches after them are not warranted to be applied
- correctly.
-
- Apply this patch to the xterm sources in a suitable directory. Then modify
- Imakefile for following options and do compile with it.
- -DKANJI allow you to see, cut and paste Japanese texts.
- -DSTATUSLINE allow you to use a status line at the bottom of kterm.
- -DKEEPALIVE allow you to choose connection to X server with or without
- KEEPALIVE option.
- If none of these options is given, kterm provides same function as xterm.
-
- Install kterm.
- Make kterm entry in your termcap.
- Install a14, r14 and k14 fonts which are in the X11R3 distribution tape.
- "cat"ing README.j file on your kterm can test it.

- Cutting and Pasting
-
- Kterm uses selection with COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for cutting Japanese
- because any CutBuffers does not allowed to contain non-ASCII character as
- defined in the ICCCM. Therefore non-ASCII text cutted this version of
- kterm can not be pasted to previously released kterm nor NEmacs, though
- pasting in opposite direction works well.
-
- Encoding used in COMPOUND_TEXT is based on "Compound Text Encoding Version 1"
- and G0 and G1 are used as follows:
- G0 is invoked into GL and G1 is invoked into GR, and they are fixed.
- ASCII designated into G0 always.
- Latin-1 right normaly, designated into G1.
- JIS Kana if needed, designated into G1.
- JIS Kanji if needed, designated into G1.
- But for pasting, any character sets designated into any of G0 or G1 are
- recognized correctly.
