I tried this new program. It is very good. If you need big5 browser,
and are not concerned about input, this is the best.

I have installed the program. When I use netscape and set the helper 
application according to the help, I still cannot see chinese in the internet.
Do I miss something to do?

Yes, I agree. This si really a good big5 browser.
But it's some sorts of troublesome if I'm going to read lots
of Chinese documents, as I have to do the cut-and-paste so
many times....

Not all WWW servers are configured with the capability to send Chinese data
types (MIME types). Please try www.cnd.org which has the proper setup.
If you can read the sample files in our homepage at www.hkstar.com/~hannet
then probably you have set everything right. Contact your WEB administrator
if you need to configure the data types in the server (i.e. Chinese/big-5)

I *think* it only works when you're viewing files with extensions like .b5,
.bg5 etc. (or whatever you specified to invoke the helper app.)   Otherwise
you need to copy-paste into the Hnview window to see the Chinese.

Quite a shortcoming IMHO but I only tried this briefly, so I might have
missed a few things too.

Your'e right. I thought Hannet was a kind of program like Twinbridge...that's 
what I thought before installing. After I found Hannet was only a cut-and-paste 
kind of viewer, I installed Union Way 4.0b. Union Way or Twinbridge are not as 
good as MS Chinese Windows 3.1 as well as MS Chinese Windows 95 will be.

I thought hnview.exe is another Chinese Environment program too when I
was installing it. After reading  "Using with Internet" in its help
file, I found it's only a Chinese Big5 text viewer. Which works
similar to some graphics viewers, it only lets you view Chinese text
(in Big5 format so far), it does not provide the Chinese environment
like Union-Way or Twin-Bridge does.

I think the best usage is when you need to view a Chinese Big5 file
but you really don't want to get out of English Windows and start
Chinese Windows. Or you don't want to start Union-Way or Twin-Bridge
that actually changes your windows input interface.
