c2t converts GB or BIG5 to _pinyin_. 

For GB to pinyin conversion, you need GB dictionary TONEPY.tit
For BiG5 to pinyin conversion, you need BIG5 dictionary ETPY.tit
Both are ftp'able from 
ifcss.org:/software/unix/X-Window/cxterm-dictionary 

You can specify the dictionary by either modifying the c source code,
step 3 of the original readme file, or by using the -D option. 

Examples, 
c2t -D TONEPY.tit < GB_File > Pinyin_File
c2t -D ETPY.tit < BIG5_File > Pinyin_File

The following is the original readme file, please skip step 1 and 2. 
For the gb2pinyin.el etc, please see a seperate package hanyin ftp'able
from 
ifcss.org:/software/unix/chinese-utils

c2t lets usual ASCII characters to pass-by, but the characters
over 128 (decimal) will be translated according to their tone pinyin
pronounciation. Tone pinyin is a way to write spoken chinese with
roman characters.

The gb2pinyin.el is intended to be used with MULE (MUltiLingual
Extension to GNU Emacs). You can simply with one ESC-p see the
pronounciation(s) of the current character in the minibuffer.
Thanks to Dong-Ping Deng (deng@bnl.gov) for the gb2pinyin.el.
