I'm an graduating senior in electrical engineering with five semesters of
Japanese experience, and I am trying to find a personal computer with which I
could perform word processing in BOTH Japanese and English.  I've heard that the
Macintosh can do such with 16-bit fonts, but I really don't know a THING about
it at all.  It would be excellent if it was just a matter of finding a single
program and a few PostScript fonts.

Sorry if I'm violating UseNet etiquette here, but this is my first message.
