		   the Electronic Index to
	  "Das Neue Chinesisch-Deutsche Woerterbuch"
       ("A Chinese-English Dictionary" in preparation!)
			  by H. Bohn

	       (Demo version available on ftp!)
------------------------------------------------------------

CHinDEX - and looking up Chinese characters becomes a plaesure!

* Highly optimized radical index with graphical user interface,
  ordering of radicals according to radical productivity,
  multiple indexing of characters and consideration of character
  lookup frequencies!

* Optimized Pinyin index. You forgot the correct tone? No problem!

* Simplified four corner index - nothing is faster!

* Stroke index of characters hard to identify.

* In the full version, as the result of the lookup all pronun-
  ciations and corresponding page number(s) of the selected
  character in the dictionary are given! (At present German
  version only!)

* Change lookup method with a single mouse click!

* Favourite lookup method can be preset!

* All character lists are ordering dynamically according to
  individual lookup frequency!

* Can be used both as program and desk accessory! Dictionary
  lookup from within your word processor!

* English version (index to "A Chinese-English dictionary",
  Beijing: Shangwu yinshuguan, 1985) in preparation (80% of the
  Data entered!). Indexes to other special dictionaries planned!

Hardware requirements:

  ATARI ST with monochrome monitor (SM 124)
  and at least 1 MB of RAM. Hard disc recommended.

  (The program should also run on STEs and TTs but I haven't
  tried. If you happen to own a STE or TT I would be glad
  to hear about whether the program runs or not!)

A demo version is available via ftp at:

  kth.se (130.237.72.201) in the directory "CJK/atari/CHINDEX"

Have fun!
