Impressions of Trying AW97
I downloaded AW97 a long time ago, and today I finally tried it. The extraction and installation were quite smooth, but there was some screen flickering in the Windows 98 window. So I switched to DOS to try it, and there was no screen flickering. I didn't test the performance in detail, but since it's a Chinese character system released in 1997, the performance shouldn't be too bad.
AW97 does fully support GBK Chinese characters. Everyone can open GBK.TXT in the Windows installation folder with EDIT or other editors to check. In AW97, all Chinese characters can be seen, while in other Chinese character systems, the GBK Chinese characters there become garbled.
However, when I ran its input method and then checked the document again, the initial joy disappeared without a trace.
AW97 is currently the only known large character set Chinese character system that supports GBK Chinese characters (unified codes for China, Japan, and Korea). In 1997 when it was released, there were still quite a lot of 386/486 and even low-end 586 computers in use. AW97 that solved the large character set problem should still have a considerable market, but why is it still unknown today? If it weren't for netizens posting it on the forum, I, who used DOS until 1998, wouldn't have known about this Chinese character system at all.
When I ran its input module, I immediately understood the reason why it's not popular - there's no Wubi, and I couldn't find any introduction about the input method interface in all the documents.
As we all know, thousands of Chinese character input methods have emerged in China. Just mention a few famous ones: Wubi Xingzai was invented by Wang Yongmin, Biaoxingma was invented by Chen Aiwen, and Ziranma was invented by Zhou Zhinong, because they all also released Chinese character systems. Wang Yongmin founded Wangma Company and launched the Wangma series of Chinese character systems. Chen Aiwen released the AW series of Chinese character systems. Zhou Zhinong joined Chaoxiang and launched the Chaoxiang Chinese character system. But do you know that these three Chinese character systems also have a common feature: ① all have their own input methods ② all don't have the input methods of the other two ③ all don't have public instructions for the input method interface.
Of course, the Wangma Chinese character system came out early, and Wubi Xingzai was very popular, so it's not excessive that it doesn't have other input methods. It's just that later it didn't pay attention to keeping up with the development of the situation and soon stopped at hard disks above 33M. As for the other two Chinese character systems not supporting Wubi, it's a bit delicate (Chaoxiang can "borrow" the not-so-successful Wubi input method of Kingsoft Chinese character system). Blocking many possible users by themselves is probably one of the reasons for their decline (at least I used Chaoxiang, and its performance was good until I used UCDOS 3.1). On the contrary, let's look at the most prosperous UCDOS. It not only comes with more than 10 common input methods by itself, but also allows users to add or even modify input methods since version 3.1. There are also many user-friendly functions.
As an AW97 that came out in 1997, it completely didn't learn from the previous lessons. It seems that failure was already doomed. Everyone, take a look here (http://www.netcity.net.cn/newspaper/newsdaily/dzwz32/z1.htm). AW96 was selected by Microsoft and had the opportunity to join the PWIN95 camp. As for why it didn't succeed, it's estimated that it's also related to the closure of AW itself.
The success or failure of a software actually doesn't lie in technology or publicity, but the most important thing is the user. Microsoft is the best proof. Microsoft's products are never the best, but Microsoft has always paid the most attention to users' reactions, so its products are the most popular with users. The most lacking in Chinese software companies and developers is exactly this idea. Therefore, many Chinese software products are not short of technology and creativity, but always fail in the market.
AW97 can be said to be a typical example in this regard. Knowing that at that time Wubi input had occupied half the market, and the proportion of people using Wubi in the computer industry was even higher, it just tried to hold on to its own little territory and refused others to step in. We can completely imagine that the computer managers of those units would be very angry and scold when they bought this "only GBK Chinese character system under DOS" and installed it. Can such software succeed? Never.
Thousands of years ago, our great sage Confucius seized power and immediately found an excuse to kill Shao Zhengmao who had been running a school and competing with him. The aftereffect has deeply penetrated into the national marrow for thousands of years and doesn't know how long it will harm in the future.
