For the last week:
Download DimSum (http://www.mandarintools.com/dimsum.html)
Go to http://www.wfu.edu/~moran/ABACRA/Black_Dragon_Coils.big5.txt
Use "save page as" and keep the filename to save it to your own hard drive.
(You will see nonsense unless you change the "Character encoding" on your browser to "Traditional Chinese."
Open DimSum
From within DimSum, open the file you just saved. You will see Chinese.
Put your cursor on a word in the text to see its pronunciation and meaning.
You may also type in the URL for my website and see the annotations for Chinese texts directly.
