My current guess for the best way to do Chinese word processing would
be to investigate Nisus and Apple's Chinese System Software.

The Chinese system software is not based on the latest US system (APDA
catalogue says it is based on 5.1), but it otherwise works well.

Nisus was recently mentioned as being quite Script Manager compatible.  

Does anybody know whether these work together?  Will Nisus run under
5.1?  Does it know about multibyte characters?

(Get Nisus through normal channels.  For foreign system software,
either find a developer friend with the new Phil and Dave CD and a
CD-ROM drive, or join Apple Programmer's and Developer's
Association--APDA--for $20 and buy the Chinese software from them for
$35.  APDA lives at: (800) 282-2732 or (408) 562-3910.)
