to find another server willing to host it. --> If you would like to run
this tool on your own web server, you can download all the necessary files in
either a <A HREF="download/addpy.zip">zip file</A> (good for DOS and
Windows) or a <A HREF="download/addpy.tar.gz">gzipped tar file</A>
(good for UNIX). You will need CGI access for your account. If you
don't know what that means, ask your service provider.

<P>
This form allows you to select a file on your computer Chinese
characters. It will return that file, with pinyin added next to the
characters. You can select the level of pinyin added to the page.
For example, if you select level 1 (beginning), all characters in the
page will have pinyin added. If you select 2 (intermediate
beginning), all characters above the 500 most frequently used
characters will have pinyin added, if 3 (advanced beginning) then all
above the 1,000 most frequently used characters, and so on up to level
10 which will only list characters less common that the 4,500 most
commonly used characters. If you can reach this level, then my hat
goes off to you. Either way, you can select the level that best suits
your ability.
<P>
Some characters can have multiple pronunciations, depending
on context. This tool gives all of the possibilities. However, you can visit
the <A HREF="annotate.html">Annotator</A> page for my latest attempts
to make the conversion process more accurate by giving the correct
pronunciation for each character in context.
<P>
You also have the option of how many times pinyin will be added for
a character. If "Only Add for First" then pinyin will only be added
for the first occurence of the character, if "Add for All" then pinyin
will be added for each occurance of the character.
<P>
The GB file I use is missing about 300 characters, but I think they
are the most uncommon characters so this should not a problem unless
you are a student of ancient Buddhist texts.
<P>
There are probably other problems I haven't found yet. I'm
working on them all and would appreciate hearing suggestions
or ideas. Enjoy!
<P>
I'm interested in hearing your ideas and suggestions for this tool. Please

suggestions. If you came to this page directly, you might also want to take
