30. I received an Arae-Ah Hangul(HWP) and/or Hangul MS-Word file from Korea,but I don't have either of them. How can I view and print it out?
Namo HWP viewer 3.0 enables you to view and print HWP files (HWP 3.0 or
later) without HWP. Beginning with 3.0, it runs under any language version
of MS-Windows 95/NT. For more details, see its web page at
http://www.namo.co.kr/ [Contributed by Park, Young gul at jiljil@iname.com].
A free HWP viewer for Linux(glibc 2.x based Intel x86) is available from
Mizi Research(which ported HWP to Unix/X11) at http://www.mizi.co.kr/.
At Microsoft web site(http://www.microsoft.com/korea/word/, you can download
a free Hangul MS-Word viewer, but it runs only under Hangul MS-Windows
95/98/NT.
Web-based HWP(3.0/2.1) and Hangul MS-Office(Word and Excel 95/97, PowerPoint
97) viewer service is offered at http://203.246.182.160:8080/. It's not
perfect, but it may enable you to get hold of the content.
http://www.artmedia.org/pds/textview_idx.htm has a lot of useful links to
HWP,MS-Word and Hunminjongum viwer. [posted to one of Hangul Usenet
newsgroups by Ahn Byeong-Gil at sancheon@ppp.kornet21.net]. EasyView
mentioned in this page seems to be a great tool for viewing HWP files under
any language version of MS-Windows. It also supports JOHAB encoding and
Shift_JIS(for Japanese). For more details, refer to the web page of the
author at http://www3.shinbiro.com/~Cherie2/
Fow HWP up to 1.5, you may use Hangul viewer, Wang-nun-i available at HiTel
archive(search with keyword 'Wang-nun-i' in Hangul) and in /incoming/hangul
CAIR archive. Both 16bit for Windows 3.1 (hv16-135.zip) and 32bit for
Windows 95/NT(hviewer32-135.zip and hviewer32-140patch.zip) versions are
available. It's not certain whether or not it works without Hangul Windows.
A much better(in terms of portability) solution is ask your correspondent to
send the document in portable formats like Postscript,PDF and DVI instead of
proprieatary format used by HWP. Postscript files generated by HWP (by
printing to a file with any of Postscript pritners seleted) are outrageously
big and it's impractical to send them via email. Instead, ask her/him to
convert Postscript files to PDF using either Adobe Distiler or Ghostscript
5.0 or higher(the latter is freely available). PDF files should be much
smaller and you can view and print using freely available Acroread. See also
Subject 44.
As for using DVI(device independent format devised by Donald Knuth, the
inventor of TeX, the most widely used typesetting system for
sicence,engineering and economics), you may wonder how you can use it
without TeX/LaTeX. Cemtlo media released a suite of DVI tools (pretty
similar to PDF suite from Adobe) which consists of TeXplus viewer(free),
TeXplus Writer (much like PDF Writer in that it works as a printer driver to
all the application programs under MS-Windows 98/95 to produce DVI output),
TeXplus writer for HWP, and TeXplus publisher. TexPlus publishers let you
add hyperlinks to and correct typos of DVI files. At this point, only
MS-Windows 95/98/NT version is available, but versions for some Unix may
follow soon. DVI viewr,writer, HWP writer are free except for those who put
their documents on the web. For more details, see http://www.texplus.com/
In case you have now obsolete HWP 1.5x and want to print out with a
Postscript printer, you may try hwp2ps by
Kwon,Bomjun(bomjun@baram.kaist.ac.kr) available in /hangul/print at CAIR
archive and mirrors. HWP v.2.0 is known to have different format and you may
not use hwp2ps to get PS file. HWP 2.5 or later has built-in support for PS
printers.
Hangul viewer,'Wangnuni' is a viewer for old versions of HWP It's written by
ycho@mail.hitel.net and available at the HiTel archive(choose CDPS and
Utility, in turn) at http://www.hitel.net/cgi-bin/webpds/webpds_ini.cgi.
Also, I uploaded thme(16bit version and 32bit version, hv16-135.zip,
hviewer32-135.zip and hviewer32-140patch.zip) to CAIR archive in
/incoming/hangul Please,however, note that it supports HWP up to 1.5(NO
support for 2.0 or later). For 2.0 or later, use Namo HWP viewer mentioned
above.
