   Hangul and Internet in Korea FAQ (part 4/4)
   ===========================================

31. Where can I get extensive information on Internet in
Korea?

NCA(Natioanl Computerization Agency) at http://www.nca.go.kr runs 
KRNIC(Korea Network Information Center) at http://www.krnic.net with a lot
of useful information on the Net in Korea. Especially, 
http://www.nic.or.kr/int_st.html#kr contains a lot of useful statistics
about Internet in Korea. There is a mailing list for network information in
Korea(netinfo@krnic.net) archived at KRNIC mailing list
archive(http://www.krnic.net/mail/netinfo/date.html#start. To subscribe to
the list, send mail to majordomo@krnic.net with body as following and empty
subject line 

subscribe netinfo your-email-address

It's linked to Han news group han.net.announce. Hangul Internet BBS'(Subject
10)), Hangul newsgroups(Subject 24)) and nationwide on-line service in Korea
accessible via the Internet are other good places to direct your question. 

KII(The Korea Information Infrastructure) at http://kii.go.kr is a
government agency in charge of construction of the national information
infrastructure and may have some information of interest to some of you. 

32. Are there any commercial Internet service providers
(ISP) in Korea? How can I contact them? 

Unix shell account service has been provided since around the end of 1992
and a various forms of Internet services as seen in the U.S. are offered by
several commercial Internet service providers in Korea. The list of
providers and services offered are as following. Similar list including

33.Can I connect to any of nationwide on-line service' in
Korea via the Internet? Does any of them offer outbound
service to the Internet?

There are now 5 nationwide on-line service providers in Korea, HiTel, 
Chollian MagicCall, Nowcom, PosServe, and UniTel. All of them offer
outbounding service to the Net. Besides, Chollian MagicCall, Nowcom, HiTel
and UniTel allow in-bound service from the Net by telnet/rlogin. 

To access Chollian Magicall, telnet/rlogin to chollian.dacom.co.kr. For
Nowcom, telnet/rlogin to nowcom.co.kr and telnet/rlogin to home.hitel.net or
home.hitel.net for HiTel. For UniTel, telnet/rlogin to uniwin.unitel.co.kr.
You may also access UniTel with UniWin, the emulator made for UniTel access
under MS-Windows. 

When telneting to these on-line services, 8bit clean telnet/rlogin and 8bit
clean terminal set up are to be used to enter Hangul. See Subject 16 for
details. 

To transfer files to and from these services, you need a telnet client to
support file transfer protocol like zmodem and kermit. Some telnet clients
for MS-Windows/DOS including Netterm, Kermit for Windows95 and MS-Kermit
support either Zmodem or Kermit and for Unix, C-Kermit has built-in Kermit
support. Telnet from BSD 4.2 was modified(and named ztelnet) to enable
zmodem file transfer by ?? at KAIST and is available in /pub/hangul/network
at CAIR archive and its mirrors. It's compiled clean in Sun OS 4.x, but not
in other Unixen because it's based on old BSD source dating back to late
80's when most current flavors of Unix didn't exist. Sun OS 4.x binary,
however, seems to work with Solari 2.4. Linux binary was made by Park,
Myeong Seok at pms@romance.kaist.ac.kr and is available at 
ftp://romance.kaist.ac.kr. Kang,Kilsang at pushnpop@chains.or.kr modified
SSL-MZtelnet-0.9.1 to support Hangul and Zmodem file transfer and put the
source (SSL-MZtelnet-0.9.1+zh) and Solaris 2.x binaries at 
ftp://biko.chains.or.kr/incoming. This should be more easily compiled on
most Unix than the original ztelnet. 

Mac users may try 5pm term, telnet client/terminal emulator with built-in
zmodem from Whitepine at http://www.wpine.com. Also, an extension,TCPserial
may be of interest to Mac users who want to transfer files from on-line
services in Korea. It's available at Info-Mac archive(
ftp://sumex-aim.stanford.edu or http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu) In
addition, Hangul NiftyZtelnet 0.5 by
Kim,Jeong-hyun(jhkim@salmosa.kaist.ac.kr) has support for Zmodem
download(See Subject 18) 

34. Are there any Korean newspapers or magazines
available on the Internet? 

As of July, 1996, there are tens of Korean newspapers and magazines, if not
over a hundred, are on the Web as well as in print. Listed below are only a
part of them. 

 o Han-kyoreh Shinmun, Han-kyoreh 21(weekly) & Cine 21(weekly) at

In addition to these, most newspapers in Korea are available on nationwide
on-line service(See Subject 33). You may read (at least) headlines of major
Korean papers(Hankyoreh,DongAh,etc) at Nowcom by login as 'guest' and typing
'go news' for the list of papers available at the prompt. 

There are now too many newspapers and magazines available on the net for me
to list here. You may use search engines for Korean web sites (see Subject
35) to locate Korean magazines and newspapers on-line. 

35. Where can I find information about WWWservers in
Korea and related to Korea? 

To find how fast WWW and Internet have been growing in Korea (hardly
equalled by other countries), you only have to search Yahoo directory with
keyword Korea. Or try any of following sites. 

Korea has been actively participating in Internet World Expo '96 partly
thanks to Prof. Chon, Kil-nam with CS dept. at KAIST, the founding father of
the Internet in Korea and one of a few witnesses of the birth of the
ARAPnet, precursor of the Internet. Visit Korean part of the Internet Expo

36. How can I view Hangul world wide web (WWW) pages
under Unix /X window?

Under Hangul-capable environment as summarized below and dealt with in depth
above, you should have little problem viewing Hangul Web pages in and
outside Korea. In case further help is necessary, you may post your question
to Hangul USENET Newsgroup(See Subject 24), han.comp.www.browsers, 
hangul.comp.hangul or news groups for each flavor of Unix like Linux,Sun,
and HP listed in Subject 24 

 o Netscape 2.0b2 or later with Hangul Wansung(pre-composed) fonts. See
   below for details. It's the easiest way. 
 o PXHan(Pseudo X for Hangul display) and any web browser(including Netscape)
   for X Window. You may as well set font-style (in Options-Preference menu)
   to Huge in Netscape to get Hangul displayed intact. See Subject 6) and
   reference there for further details. It's left here for historic reason
   ONLY and you're strongly advised NOT to try this any more. 
 o Multi-localized version of Mosaic(L10N Mosaic made at NTT) + Hangul
   fonts(daewoo font or any 'pre-completed font') under most incarnations of
   Unix(?Unices?) and X11 implementations. Input is not allowed. More
   information on L10N Mosaic is found at 
   http://www.ntt.jp/Mosaic-l10n/README.html. 
 o Any Web browsers for X dynamically linked to X11 shared library with
   original libX11 replaced by libHanX11(Hangul patched X11 shared library, 
   HanX). Most versions of Mosaics are available with dynamic link(or you
   may compile it yourself if you have Motif library since source for Mosaic
   is avaialbel on the Net) while it's NOT the case with Netscape except on
   SGI Irix 5.2 for which Netscape is known to be dynamically linked with
   X11 shared library.. In case you happen to have a binary of Netscape
   dynamically linked to libX11, it must be possible to read and write
   Hangul in Netscape with HanX. Perhaps,Emacs in W3 mode also allows Hangul
   I/O this way. 
 o Hanterm + any text browsers(e.g. Lynx)(In recent versions of Lynx, you
   have to set Charset to Koearn in Option menu which you can get to by
   pression O 
 o Any terminal emulators for X(e.g. xterm, provided they're dynamically
   linked to X11 shared library),with libHanX11(HanX) installed + any of
   text browsers like Lynx. 
 o Mule(at ftp://sh.wide.ad.jp/JAPAN/mule)(Multilinguial Extension of Emacs
   v.19),GNU Emacs 20, or Xemacs 20(+mule)(See Subject 3 for more details on
   various versions of Emacs) in W3 mode. See http://www.ntt.jp/Mule 
 o Hanemacs supports W3 mode and can be used as a Hangul-viewable web
   browser. I tried this with Hemacs2.0beta under Linux and it worked well. 
 o Any terminal emulator under Hangul capable MS-DOS,MS-Windows, and Mac OS
   used to connect to Unix host + text browsers like Lynx. See Subject 4 and
   Subject 5, respectively for Hangul-capable environment for MS-DOS/Windows
   and Mac. 

Netscape 2.0 or higher are able to display Hangul and Hanja in one of two
encodings of KS C 5601 and US-ASCII/KS C 5636, 8bit EUC-KR and 7bit
ISO-2022-KR(See Subject 8 for Hangul code) as long as Hangul
fonts(Wansung-pre-composed- fonts like Daewoo and Hanyang) are installed on
X server(See Subject 6 for Hangul fonts). Here's a quick recipe to view
Hangul in Unix/X version of Netscape. 

1. Get and install Hangul Wansung fonts on your X server or X font server
   See Subject 6 for details on how to install Hangul fonts for X window.
   With X font server feature of X11 R6, Hangul fonts can be made avaiable
   even to X terminal users without the previlege of the system
   administrator. 
2. In Options, set Document Encoding(in Netscape 4.03, it's under View
   instead of Options) to Korean(EUC-KR). In Netsacpe 4.0, it's
   Korean(AutoDetect). 
3. In Options|GeneralPreference|Fonts, set fonts to use with Korean to one
   of Hangul fonts. Choose Korean(ks_c_5601-1987) at 'For the Encoding', and
   set proportional and fixed font to one of Hangul fonts installed in step
   1. Please, note that Korean would not appear if you don't have any Hangul
   fonts(Wansung) on your X server/X font server. You need to install Hangul
   fonts before this step. 
4. To make this change permanent(i.e. make Korean the default encoding), you
   have to save options by choosing Save Options in Options menu (In 4.0,
   choose Set Default Encoding in View | Encoding). 

In case you are satisfied with Hangul properly displayed only in main text
window, you may as well stop here. Other areas where Hangul needs to be
displayed can be classified into two categories. Those of the first category
are all the places where text is displayed (bookmark,mail and news list,etc)
except for the title bar of the window where Netscape is enclosed which
belongs to the second. 

There are a few ways to display Hangul in those areas of depending on
whether Korean locale - either X locale or C library- is available and how
Netscape for that platform is compiled. 

The simplest(?) of them is install HanX (Hangul patched X library) by Oh,
Sung-gyu. HanX is kind of hack with nothing to do with X11 I18N
(Internationalization). It requires no locale support, C library or X and
can be very useful for those abroad where Korean locale is not installed on
their machines. With HanX replacing the original X11 shared library, Hangul
input as well as output in both categories mentioned above is possible even
without Hangul Input Method server (which is usually not available on Unix
machines sold outside Korea with possible exception of Digital Unix). HanX
users may also localize their Netscape (making all menus and messages appear
in Korean) using application default resource files mentioned below. Make
sure that font specifications for ks_c_5601-1987 in all fontList resources
are removed when localizing Netscape where HanX is used. Problem with this
approach is pre-compiled binary for HanX is only available for the limited
set of platforms(Linux, FreeBSD, and Sun OS 4.x) although it's not so hard
to build it from X11 R6.x source tree. See Subject 6 for more information on
HanX and Hangul in Unix/X environment. 

In case Korean locale is supported by C library on your platform and is
installed by your system administrator, you may install Korean version of
Netscape 3.0x with most of Motif messages translated into Korean.Most
versions of Unixen that come with workstations sold in Korea such as
Sun,Digital,HP,IBM,SGI have Korean locale support at the C library level. So
does FreeBSD among free Unixen. Except for Digital Unix, commercial Unixen
sold outside East Asia don't include Korean locale by default and you have
to pay for it separately. Korean version of Netscape is available at 
http://home.netscape.com/ko/. Korean version is nothing more than a English
version with modified application default file with Motif resources for
Hangul messages. README file in Korean version says that the file
Netscape.ad should be renamed Netscape and put in the directory only
system administrator has access to (e.g.
/X11/locale/app-defaults/ko), but that's not actually the case. Your
home diretory,ko or ko_KR.euc in your home directory, the directory named by
the environment variable XRESAPPLDIR(don't forget the trailing '/' when
naming this variable) and ko or ko_KR.euc under it can be used as well. When
running Netscape, the environment variable LC_CTYPE and/or LANG has to be
set for Korean locale(ko and ko_KR.euc). The exact path and the value of
LANG or LC_CTYPE environment variables may vary depending upon the flavor of
Unix,the version of X11 for which Netscape is compiled and the Korean locale
name on the machine. When setting either of two environment variables(LANG,
LC_CTYPE), you need to make sure that the other is left set to non-Korean
value like iso_8859_1 or de,us. 

Some people including Ryu, Byoung Soon at bsryu@paradise.kaist.ac.kr and
Kim,Bum Chul at quantum@brain.tgmi.co.kr, independently of Netscape, made a
localized version of netscape by translating messages into Korean and posted
their modifications to Hangul Usenet newsgroup(See Subject 24
)han.sys.linux(now han.comp.os.linux) and han.comp.www(now splitted to
several groups). Choi, Junho at junker@jazz.snu.ac.kr put his translation on
the Web at http://jazz.snu.ac.kr/~junker/work/netscape3-hanmsg/ where
detailed instruction is given. Similar information is available at 
http://members.iWorld.net/bumchul/kims.html and 
http://www.mizi.co.kr/hanIM/netscape.html. 

Choi, Jun-Ho put up a nice web page with gory details on Netscape and Hangul
for Unix/X11 at http://jazz.snu.ac.kr/~junker/work/netscape-ko. Especially
noteworthy of this page is it has almost completely(over 95%) localized
version of Netscape 4.07 for Korean. With little modification, it can be
used along with Netscape 4.5 as well. 

You may customize the application default file for your need. For instance,
you may not want Korean messages, but like to see Hangul in menu,bookmark
and mail/news list. The minimum change required in that case is delete
(easier way is replace all the occurences of the string "fontList" with
"DISABLE_fontList" in Netscape.ad) all the lines with fontList resources in
Netscape.ad for English version and add the following to it. Other resources
with fontList in their names(e.g. XmLGrid*fontList,
XmTeXTField*fontList,menuBar*fontList) can be modified in a simliar way(i.e.
add a font to be used for KS C 5601 separated by ';' from that for
ISO-8859-1). 

Netscape*fontList:          -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*;\
    -hanyang-kodig-medium-r-normal--14-140-72-72-c-140-ksc5601.1987-0:
Netscape*XmLGrid*fontList:\  
    -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*;\   
    -hanyang-kodig-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-120-ksc5601.1987-0:

Resources used by Netscape are well documented in Netscape.ad included in
Netscape and their names are quite informative to enable you to tell which
is used where. Alternative to editing the application default resource file
highly dependent on a specific version of Netscape is append ) the lines
above (with "Netscape*" in front of every line if you wish this resources
setting not to be used by other Motif applications) to
.Xdefaults/.Xresources in your home directory or a X resource file named by
the environment variable XENVIRONMENT. Other Hangul font needs to be
specified depending on Hangul fonts installed. 

There are some resources not documented in Netscape.ad and not controlled by
setting *fontList resource. I figured out what they are using
editres(available in standard X11 distribution). You may have to add
following resources(at least for Netscape 4.0x) to your Netscape application
default file or .Xdefaults/.Xresources or the file named by XENVIRONMENT
variable. Some resources below are documented in Netscape.ad while others
are not. This list is not exhaustive. On the other hand, some of these might
be superfluous. (Please, note that the following examples assumes you have a
set of Web batang fonts modified by the recipe given in Subject 6. You can
use any other Hangul fonts of appropriate size you have, instead). You may
also preceed all the resources name with Netscape to make sure that they're
applied to Netscape.
