Unique Functions

Support both Unicode and ANSI Applications
Input in Unicode mode for Unicode applications. Applications such as Microsoft Office 97 Suite, Notepad, and several others are Unicode conformant. An application is Unicode conformant if it processes each character in double byte and it recognizes fonts that are structured by Unicode TrueType font definition. Many new versions of applications will be Unicode compatible.
Supports Chinese GB and Big5 code standards. Unicode input mode is not available for regular ANSI (Non-Unicode) applications because they have not been modified to accommodate Unicode. However, CJKPNT has provided backward compatibility so that almost all applications can be processed in GB and Big5 code modes.
Supports Japanese EUC(JIS) and SJIS code standards. By the same token, CJKPNT has also provided backward compatibility so that almost all applications can be processed in JIS and SJIS code modes. Supports Korean KSC5601 code standards, which is the most popular internal code used in Korea. Automatic Selection of Internal Code

User no longer needs to select internal code for Chinese or Japanese input. User starts an input session by confirming his or her Language Preference. A button on the CJK Partner Control Center displays the status of Simplified and Traditional Chinese preference or EUC(JIS) and SJIS Japanese preference. CJKP automatically select the appropriate display and input code mode based on language preference's selection and the current application type. In most cases, user should leave both the "Display Chinese By", at default ("Auto Select") when Chinese mode is set). The user may also leave the "Input Code Using" feature at default ("Auto Select") for either languages.
Overriding system selected internal code. User can force the input code of a specific type differ from the auto choice offered. The system lists the type of internal codes that are logically available to the user based on the preference of using simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese or Japanese language etc. Forcing Unicode is not advisable.
Support extended GB and Big5 Chinese code standards. These extended code standards (GBK and Big5 PLUS) may become popular in the future. As an option, user may set the support of these code standards in place of their original standards.
Display Simplified or Traditional Chinese at wil

l The system has made the Chinese display and printing independent of the internal code used. At any given time, user may force display from simplified to traditional and vice versa. The forced display function affects all current documents in a global fashion but their underlying code in the text is not changed.When "Auto Select" is checked in both "Display Chinese by" and "Input Code Using", user can input either simplified or traditional Chinese characters in Unicode applications.

Enhanced Single Cursor Word Processing

Single cursor word processing means cursor movements on any character work the same way as English characters. That is, the cursor will no longer walk into a character because of its double-byte and non-split nature. This is a great convenience to our users. Single cursor word processing may be enabled from either one of the following cases:

When a character is processed in Unicode mode. Under Unicode standard, all language character sets are defined in double byte so the processing of each Unicode character is by nature "Single Cursor".
When CJKPNT is capable of controlling the cursor in non-Unicode mode. For applications that are not Unicode compatible, each CJK character normally would require double cursor movements. However, we have implemented a special coding scheme, which recognizes certain programming classes, and reduce the double cursor requirement to single cursor. Not all applications can enjoy single cursor processing because some of them employ special programming code that does not communicate with external programs such as the CJK Partner.
