Introduction

The Simplified Chinese Solaris operating environment must be set up for using Simplified Chinese text facilities. This chapter describes the steps required to set up the Simplified Chinese environment and to start Simplified Chinese Solaris operation.

The Simplified Chinese Solaris operating environment provides two window environments: Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and OpenWindows. CDE is a fully internationalized environment; it does not require most of the administration tasks that the OpenWindows environment requires to handle Simplified Chinese. For information on starting OpenWindows, see Appendix A, Open Windows Information. The Simplified Chinese Solaris product includes the following locales:

• zh - Simplified Chinese environment in GBK, an extension of GB2312-80 (that is, Guo Biao Kuo in Chinese Pin Yin), GBK contains all the CJK characters that are in Unicode 2.1.

• zh - Simplified Chinese environment in extended UNIX code (EUC)

• zh.GBK - Simplified Chinese environment in GBK, an extension of GB2312-80. GBK contains all of the characters in ISO/IEC10646-1 and GB13000-1, as well as most of the symbols in TCA_CNS 11643-92.
