An idea: Modify AW97 - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

Wengier mentioned to me that he wants to modify AW97 and expand its input methods. AW97 is the only operating system under DOS that supports the CJK large character set, with good compatibility and decent functions, but the only shortcoming is that it doesn't provide the function of expanding input methods and doesn't open the input method interface, forcing users to only use Biaoxing Code and Pinyin, and can't use commonly used input methods like Wubi Xingzi.

As for modifying AW97, I don't know assembly and am not good at programming, so I write out my own ideas, hoping that high-level netizens can complete this task.

My ideas are:

① Analyze the input method interface of AW97 from the input methods that come with AW97, or analyze the universal hanging interface of Ziranma.
② Develop an input method expansion program according to the analyzed AW97 input method interface, just like the input method expansion method of UCDOS. Or analyze and modify the input method expansion program of UCDOS and port it to AW97, so that we can basically solve the input method expansion problem of AW97 once and for all.

Hehe You can use the DOS version of Ziranma. You can use input methods such as Wubi, Ziranma, Quanhun, etc. It also supports GBK characters.

Not easy! But I haven't seen the shadow of AW97 yet, and the boss's site is down again~

Why use Wubi? I just need pinyin input! But I also have the idea of researching AW97. I haven't used AW97, so I don't know how its pinyin input is. If it supports user-defined words and automatic word creation, that would be even better!
