       gcin - an input method server

SYNOPSIS

       gcin [-h|-v|--version]

DESCRIPTION

       gcin  is  an input method(IM) server, which focused mainly on Traditional Chinese. It is also very useful
       for Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and many other languages. IM table format of gcin is almost as same  as
       those  of  scim  and  xcin. Users may append their IMs to gcin very easily. The "g" of gcin means that it
       features a better GTK+ user interface.
