China DOS Union

Some time ago, I downloaded a VB small program on the forum that displays HZK16 dot matrix Chinese character information. The function is too single. Considering that everyone is still debugging the Chinese character system in a virtual machine under WIN, I wrote one myself with VB and uploaded it.

This file needs to be in the same directory as the original HZK16 of UCDOS (the one with 267, 161, others HZK16 haven't been tried) or HZK16.GBK of UCWIN GOLD1.0 (this file is already included in the char.rar file). If both of these two files are in this directory, then HZK16.GBK will be used.

Users of WIN98SE need to download the VB RUNTIME DLL file. This file is compressed and has more than 600K. Due to the attachment size limit, it can't be uploaded. Here is a link to the msvbvm60.dll file. Those who need it can download it here. Users of 2000/XP don't need this file because the system has it itself.

All missing OCX files can be downloaded from the following website. Please register the components according to the introduction method.

It has been tested on NT/2000/XP. A few small problems were fixed on 2000. The program picture is in floor 4

The improved program supports the 16×16 GBK font HZK16.GBK of UCWIN GOLD 1.0. Since HZK16.GBK has good compatibility, the HZK16.GBK file is used by default. The next improvement is to be able to generate corresponding small font library files according to the given string, and support 12, 14, 32 dot matrix font libraries of UCDOS and other most commonly used Chinese character systems, as well as add the function of font library browsing (almost like the character map in WIN). Due to many things, it is estimated that the update can be made again by the 20th.

Interesting small program, support.

Update again, as shown in the picture, the file is republished on the first floor.

After browsing the HZK16 and HZK16.GBK files with this updated program, it is found that it is indeed not exactly the same as the character map in WIN. Among them, the characters in the 0xA2 area of HZK16 and HZK16.GBK are not exactly the same as those under WIN.

Tested under Windows 2000, and fixed two bugs. Optimized the part for displaying the font library list. (If anyone knows how to convert multiplication into bit shifting in VB, please let me know. There are a large number of multiplication, division, and modulo operations + control method calls in this segment of the program within the 4x loop, and the running speed is too slow.) Added color display for different regions of the font library. The updated file has been uploaded again, but the screenshot is not updated for the time being because there is no tool to convert it to gif or jpg.

Nice

Dizzy hey...

Because the computer has been broken for a while, so now there is no way to add more functions, can only wait for a while to see.
Corrected a few bugs again, the new file has been uploaded, please download it to the first floor. The program's pictures have also been updated.

In addition, note that if you choose to open the file yourself, it can only support HZK16 GB2312 instead of HZK16.GBK, even if the opened file is HZK16. To use GBK, please put the HZK16.GBK file in the same folder and reopen the program.

PS: Found that a lot of LJ characters were added in the F8 and F9 areas of the files HZK16 and HZK16.GBK... These characters look really bad... Also, the characters in the last area are the same LJ, and there are corresponding characters under WIN...Crazy dizzy..

Support, hope to support higher dot matrix font display.~~~Looking forward to the building owner's update~~~

In fact, all font formats are basically the same, and they can be regarded as "format-less" files (there is no need to compress dot-matrix fonts. Of course, this also poses a bit of a problem for identifying whether a file is actually a font file). For example, a 12-point font or simply the bootfont.bin file can be opened and viewed with this software - of course, there will be some display issues - to see the content inside. I haven't had time to modify it recently. Actually, this program only needs a little data modification. But due to the above-mentioned difficulty in identifying the file format, it will bring a little trouble to practical applications. However, I'm considering whether not to automatically identify it but rely on the user of the program to choose?

Is there anyone who has a good way to judge the dot-matrix size format of fonts? Please let me know~

All VB operators are referred to:

That's for VB2005, and I'm still using VB6.0

C++ has it, but VB6.0 doesn't at all. You can only write one yourself using the byte type along with AND and OR. Have a rest.

When selecting the advanced optimized compilation of EXE in VB5 and VB6, operations like "* 2" and "\ 2" on integers will be compiled into shifts, which is very fast. Code like "mod 2" can be replaced with "and" to avoid division. For example, "x mod 256" (hexadecimal: x mod &H100) can be transformed into "x and 255" (hexadecimal: x and &HFF).

I once promised someone to write an article about VB bit operations, but I was lazy. Here is the VB bit operation module I wrote before, take your time to understand:

In fact, if the program is optimized well, VB programs won't be slow. Even in fields like GIF, JPEG encoding that require a lot of bit operations:
