cReader 1.0 - Rex 6000 Chinese reader

Copyright 2003 Jian Ren

cReader is free software under the terms of the GNU General
Public License.  See the end of this file, and the file 
GPL.txt, for further explanation.


Introduction
------------
cReader displays Chinese memos on your Rex6000 screen. 
It uses a 12X12 GB2312 Chinese character font library.
The font library takes all the 27 empty 8K pages. So other addins
using them, like adder wouldn't work together with cReader.
There is another version, 1.0a, which stores the font library 
as memo files. But it's too slow to retrieve the font from memo.

cReader could also display and wrap English memos.
cReader doesn't use the memo line index table in Rex to wrap the
memo because it couldn't work for Chinese. It uses an unused column
in the memo table to store the bookmark.


A.  Installation
----------------

1.  Unzip the file cReader.zip to a temporary directory on
your PC.  It contains the following files:

ReadMe.txt 		- this text file
cReader.rex		- cReader addin
GPL.txt			- GNU General Public License text file
REX.BIN			- The firmware contains the font library(1.1.2.7)
HZK.BIN			- The font library in S record format.

cReader.c		- The source code
cReader.bmp		- The addin icon
cReader.txt		- The file used by rexdk
make.bat		- The make file to build under rexdk


2.  If you have adder installed, delete it with all the addins inside.
    Or you would have to use version 1.0a, which is too slow.
    
3.  Backup the important data in your Rex, make sure the version of your
    firmware is 1.1.2.7. (Go to main/controls/about)
4.  Copy the REX.BIN to your Rextools directory. Run RexTools, 
    select Tools/Firmware update. It takes about 20 minutes to finish
    the updating.
5.  Load cReader.rex as an addin into your rex with Rextools.
6.  Load Chinese memos(GB2312) and run cReader.


B.  Known problems
----------------
1.  As it said above, you couldn't use adder with cReader 1.0.
2.  The installation addin of Chris Harris's cMemo uses some of
    the empty pages temporarily, so please install them before
    cReader. If you lost your font library by running them, update
    your firmware again.
3.  If you got a patched firmware which is not 1.1.2.7, you can 
    insert the HZK.BIN into your firmware then do an updating. The
    place to insert HZK.bin should be right before the last S9 record
    in your firmware BIN file. You also need to modify the first 4 bytes
    of the file to include the length of HZK.bin.

cReader is offered "as-is". No warranty is expressed or implied.
