How This Book Is Organized

Each chapter of this guide addresses a different aspect of using Korean Solaris software. The chapters tell how to check your set up before you begin using the facilities of Korean Solaris software and give step-by-step instructions for using Korean facilities.

Chapter 1, "Introduction to Korean Solaris Software," briefly describes general modifications made to Solaris software, including CDE, to internationalize and localize it for Korean.

Chapter 2, "Starting the Korean Solaris Software," gives the step-by-step instructions you must follow to start your Solaris user environment. It also describes Korean Solaris-specific features you must use to turn Korean facilities OFF/ON by using dtlogin.

Chapter 3, "Using the htt Input Method Server," introduces the startup, appearance, and use of htt.

Chapter 4, "Entering Korean Input," describes different Korean-character entry modes and provides a step-by-step tutorial in their use. (Further information on customizing commands and other advanced user topics are covered in International Language Environments Guide and Korean Solaris System Administrator's Guide.)
