This directory holds the CHISE-IDS package which contains data and
utilities about structures of Han Ideographs (漢字).


* How to install

Please install XEmacs CHISE before install this package.

If XEmacs CHISE is installed in your system, please type

    % make install

in the directory of the CHISE-IDS distribution.


[Note] If you don't have XEmacs CHISE, the CHISE-base package may be
useful.  It is an installer package to install CHISE functionalities
including libchise, XEmacs CHISE, the CHISE-IDS package, some other
Emacs Lisp utilities, some fonts, etc.  It is available at:

	http://www.chise.org/dist/base/

In addition, if you use Mac OS X with Fink,

http://corpus.kanji.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=corpus/env.git;a=blob_plain;f=install-base-system_mac-fink.sh;hb=HEAD

is available and easier than plain CHISE-base package.

or

    ;; <COMMENTS>

Each element means

    <TAB>	<HORIZONTAL TABULATION> (U+0009)
    <CODEPOINT>	code point
		U+hhhh		Hex form of UCS code point
				(U+0000 〜 U+FFFF)

				(U+00000000 〜 U+7FFFFFFF)
    <CHARACTER>	character corresponding with <CODEPOINT>
    <IDS>	Ideographic Description Sequence
