Latest ECCP bio:

Yangginu 楊吉砮, d. 1584, and his elder brother Cinggiyanu 清佳砮, d. 1584, belonged to the widely scattered Nara clan and were beile of the Yehe tribe. Chinese accounts, dating from the Ming period, refer to them as Yangjianu 仰加奴 and Chengjianu 逞加奴 respectively--or together as "The Two Nu" (二奴). According to the Baqi Manzhou shizu tongpu, or genealogy of the Eight Banners (see under Anfiyanggu), they were not related by blood to the Nara clan that embraced the Ula, Hoifa, and Hada tribes, but were descendants of a Mongol invader from the Tumed tribe, Singgen Dargan, who had exterminated a group of Manchus and had adopted their clan name, Nara...

ECCP NEWS

The new ECCP READER (10.1) for Mac OS has been built and is posted for distribution (certified by Apple). This new build is compatible with OS 11.x ("Big Sur") and 12.x ("Monterey") as well as previous Mac OS back to 10.2. It points to the integrated suduri.net site, of which ECCP for the WEB is now a division.

This link points to the tightly-compressed DMG file for the ECCP application folder (click anywhere on this line). It's size is 11 megabytes, and is best for Mac OS 11 and 12 (beta).

Installation note: This is software notarized by Apple. Your computer should ask you only whether you wish to open an application downloaded from the web (you say yes). As the dmg will inform you, drag the icon for the folder (not only the application) to your Applications folder. You may wish to make an alias of the app itself (inside the folder) for your dock. The software will ask for "access to your Documents folder" because a new feature is the ability to save preferences, as well as to have a stable location for any biographies or notes you download. Nothing is put into the Documents folder without your prior permission.

ECCP READER for Windows is now being revised and notarized, and will be available soon.

As always we are willing to post a build of the app for Linux. If you have an interest in a Linux version, write to us at editor@suduri.net.
