INTRODUCTION

	"randpy" randomly selects a Chinese character and display it
	in Chinese as well as its pinyin.  You can learn to read 
	correct Chinese pronunciation at your lunch time, or put
	it in your .logout  to leave a Chinese character on the screen!
	You will find out that there are so many Chinese characters that
	you know the meaning but pronounce it wrong.


                       REQUIREMENTS

   "/misc/misc/Chinese.lha" from Aminet is VERY recommended in order
   to read anything, also a certain knowledge of chinese would be
    useful :).
   The program itself shouldn't require OS 3.0 but having less
    than 2.04 would complicate the whole not little.
   Remember to keep the file PinYin.HZ in the same dir of RandPY!

                          USAGE

   There is no GUI (that's an UN*X porting!), use it from CLI/SHELL.
   Anyway there is a little trouble, I tested it by shell patching
   the whole thing with Chinese (see REQUIREMENTS) and the output
   wasn't correct, so I reoutputted it to a file and loaded in a text
    editor/viewer system fonts sensible (I used TextView) and it worked
   fine. ARexx could be the solution, if some of you want to work on it
    let me know! (Who knows, I could upload a GUI or something alike in
    next weeks).

   The syntax is following:
   
   Randpy (to make it output on CLI/Shell)
   Randpy >filename (or VOLUME:PATH/FILENAME)
   E.G.: RandPy >outputtext.gb    (output file is in the current dir)
         RandPy >ram:t/outputtext.gb
