Default Cha Ching on Gutenberg

A Chinese version of Cha Ching (Cha Jing) by Lu Yu is on gutenberg.org

Uses Big5 encoding which Microsoft Word 2003 appears to handle. I don't read
Chinese so I can't verify how accurate the conversion was.

It is a .txt file but open it up in MS-Word you are asked whether you want
to convert using the Big5 encoding table.

Anyway, the link is here if anyone is interested...

Sure...

1. Download the text file to your HDD
2. Locate said file
3. Open Microsoft Word and use File-Open then select said .txt file.
(Ensure file type is set to .txt or *.* otherwise you won't see the file in
the displayed file list.
4. Now when I opened the .txt file in Word, Word automatically displayed
file the conversion dialog and asked me if I wanted to convert from Big 5. I
clicked OK and then off it went - file displayed in English.

There may be other ways, but this is what I did. I have MS Word 2003 with
XP SP2 and I keep my PC up to date with all the updates Uncle Bill throws at
me.
