Welcome to the beta_5 version of CJK 2.5, a LaTeX2e macro package which
enables the use of CJK scripts (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) in various
encodings.

All documentation of the CJK package will be found in the doc directory.


In this beta version some files are missing:

    no .exe, .dvi files
    no .tfm and .vf files for Korean encoding. If you need them, obtain them
      from CJK ver 2.4 .


These features are still missing:

    Unicode virtual files for European characters.

    The FILES file.

    Example files (.tex, .dvi and .ps)

    READMEs in Korean and Japanese. The Chinese README describes version 2.4 .

    The &U-xxxx; HTML macro of CEF.

    A documentation of CEF.

Changes beta 1 -> beta 2:
    hbf2gf:  faster (search_min_max() removed)
             feof() seems to be broken under Amiga gcc 2.6.3; replaced with
               == EOF etc.
             some small bug fixes and typos
             default value of target_size is now design_size (and not 10 pt)

Changes beta 2 -> beta 3:
    ttf2pk:  ttfdir must now be defined only once (in MakeTeXPK/maketexp.btm)
             ttf2pkl instead of ttf2pk at some places erroneously used
             an updated (and modified) version of MakeTeXPK will be used
             Makefile under UNIX erroneously used FS=MSDOS

Changes beta 3 -> beta 4:
    ttf2pk:  MakeTeXPK couldn't create DC fonts correctly.
             MakeTeXPK couldn't use already created .pk fonts in some cases;
               you must now change the PKFONTS and PKFONTS.xdvi variable in
               the kpathsearch configuration file (texmf.cnf) to add
               `:$pkdir/ttf2pk'
            ttf2pk.doc added
            InstallFont added
    hbf2gf: all float types changed to double. This makes life easier under
              Amiga
    pinyin.sty added
    \CJKcaption command added
    some caption files added. Will work with the koma-script style files
      included here (see below). Most of them are not complete now
    wrong punctuation character offsets in Bg5.chr corrected
    koma-script style files added. Note: this is only temporary until the
      next official release of the koma-script package

Changes beta 4 -> beta 5:
    \CJK@enc replaced with specific encodings where possible
    SJIS encoding scheme added (SJIS.enc, SJISconv.tex etc.). Will currently
      not work with CEF.sty
    new commands \CJKCJK, \CJKhangul, and \CJKlatin for UTF8 encoding
*   handling of intercharacter glue enhanced. Now there will be no \CJKglue
*     before and after a block of CJK characters. Note that this is a
*     visually incompatible change to the previous versions of CJK!
*     (see the command \CJKtilde also)
    koma-script package removed (you should use the latest official release
      now); caption files updated
    mule2cjk added
    \CJKtilde and \standardtilde added
    MakeTeXPK hard linked into utils/hbf2gf

Changes beta 5 -> beta 6: 
    gmulatex script added 
    \CJKhangul erroneously defined twice: \CJKCJK renamed into \CJKCJKchar,
      \CJKhangul (in UTF 8 environment) into \CJKhangulchar, \CJKlatin into
      \CJKlatinchar
    the `global' option didn't work correctly; many \CJK@global's added
    new command \CJKencshape to specify shapes on a per encoding base
    \CJKchar didn't work in preprocessed mode
    hbf2gf: new keyword `pk_files' (yes/no)
            new calling mode for use with MakeTeXPK:
              hbf2gf configuration_file [subfont_number resolution]
            hbf2gf.cfg renamed to b5so12.cfg (MakeTeXPK needs this name)
            some .cfg files added
            other small changes
    MakeTeXPK: taken from contrib/ttf2pk and enhanced to create CJK .pk
                 files on demand from bitmap files
               name of the mode subdir changed from `(.../pk/)ttf2pk' to
                 `(.../pk/)CJK'.
    maketexp.btm: similar changes as for MakeTeXPK; hard linked into
                  utils/hbf2gf
    makettfp.btm: hard linked into utils/hbf2gf
    latin-3 and latin-4 added to mule2cjk
