I have created my own lessons. Can you include it in the KingHanzi distribution?
Q: How do I
install KingHanzi on my PalmOS device?
Unzip KingHanziPalm60.zip (simplified character) or KingHanziCHTPalm60.zip
(traditional character) and use the PalmOS Install Tool to put all of the
files with PRC or PDB extensions on the PalmOS device. The Install Tool should
be available from the Windows Start Menu in the same submenu as HotSync. More
advanced installation instructions are provided in the Install.html file
included in the zip file.
Q: How do I
install KingHanzi on my PocketPC?
Run KingHanziCHSPktPC60.exe (simplified character) of KingHanziCHTPktPC60.exe
(traditional character) and follow the instructions. A batch file will start
and the first installer launched will place the lesson editor (only available
for Windows 2000 and XP) and help file on the PC. Once it is finished, press any
key in the DOS command window running the batch file to start the PocketPC
installation. The second installer will load KingHanzi on the PocketPC.
Q: Where is the Windows Lesson Editor? It doesn't seem to be installed.
It is only installed on Windows 2000 and XP (i.e., not available for 98/ME). The PocketPC self-extracting zip
file will automatically install it for those operating systems. The zip file for
the PalmOS creates a subdirectory titled "WinToolsSetup" that contains the setup
file setup.exe. Run this file to install. It will also install the utility to
create PalmOS databases from lesson files. This utility is available for all
versions of Windows.
Q: I have installed KingHanzi but no lesson is loaded. How do I load a
lesson?
You need to select File-Open... from the KingHanzi menu. For the PalmOS, the
menu is normally hidden and can be displayed by pressing the Application Menu
button in the lower-left corner of the silk screened graffiti area.
Q: How do
I get the animated stroke order to display?
Simply tap the kanji or kana with the stylus. The longer the stylus is held
down, the slower the animation. Note that some characters do not have animation
and will have an 'X' displayed just below and to the left. No animation will
appear when these characters are tapped.
Q: The trial period
ended too soon, why?
The most likely cause is changing the system time on the device.
Q: Can the trial period be
extended?
There is no way to extend the trial period without cold-booting (i.e., erasing
all contents) the device. Only registering will remove the expiration dialog. If
you still wish to evaluate KingHanzi, then one option is to install the Windows
version on your PC. This will not change the behavior on the PDA, but will allow
you to evaluate KingHanzi in Windows.
Q: Why doesn't my
registration code work?
An invalid registration code has never been release. One of the characters is
being misinterpreted. The best way to verify is to copy the code into Windows
Notepad or similar program and change the font to Times Roman or other serif
font. It will help to distinguish between capital letter 'i's and numeral ones and
capital 'O's and numeral zeroes.
Addendum: some codes contain '<' or '>' characters and do not work on Palm devices because they do not use standard ASCII characters for them. Please send an email to support@gakusoft.com to receive a new code. Windows and PocketPCs are OK.
Q: I have found a lesson or stroke order error. Will you fix it?
Yes, please double check that their really is an error and send the error report to
support@gakusoft.com.
