Re: question about making my own .cin file

[thhsieh@linux.org.tw]

: CIN2TAB version (xcin 2.5.2-pre2) LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5
: cin2tab: error: no module header name specified.
: 
: however, I did have %gen_inp as the first line of the .cin file.
: because I basically just edited the original phone.cin file to reflect
: the keyname changes.

One possibility:

You can use nvi to open the .cin file you just edited, to see if your
file looks like this or not:

%gen_inp^M
%ename  phone^M
%cname  注音^M
%selkey  123456789^M
%endkey  3467^M
%keyname  begin^M
,  ㄝ^M
-  ㄦ^M
.  ㄡ^M
/  ㄥ^M
0  ㄢ^M
1  ㄅ^M
2  ㄉ^M
3  ˇ^M

Please pay attention to the last character "^M". If you have that, then
you might have edited your .cin file under M$ environment. The "newline"
convension between UNIX and M$ systems are different, so you will have
that symbol.

If you really have that symbol, try to remove them all and recompile it
by cin2tab. If you still have problem, please send your edition of .cin
file to me, and I will help you to check.

: PS. if there is already a .cin file that uses the Eten keyboard layout
: it would be even better. Or if anybody want to help me fix my .cin
: file I would be happy to e-mail you my copy separarely.

Yes, of course. In bimsphone module, you can change the configuration
to switch to the Eten keyboard mode. Please see the xcinrc file, bimsphone
section, you will find:

(define bimsphone@big5
        '((SETKEY               6)
          (MODULE               "bimsphone")
          (N_SELECTION_KEY      9)
          (KEYMAP               0)      ; 0: 零壹, 1: 倚天, 2: 倚天26, 3: 許氏
          (SELECTION_KEYS       0)      ; 0: "1234567890", 1: "asdfgjkl;"
          (PAGE_KEYS            5)      ; 1:<> 2:,. 4:(Rt)(Lt)
          (QPHRASE_MODE         1)      ; 1: shift, 2: ctrl, 4: alt
          (AUTO_SELECTION       YES)
	..........

Change the "KEYMAP" entry to the one you want. :-))
