Are you talking about ChineseTalk 6.0.5 or the other versions?
Version 6.0.5 is much better than the other versions.

LaserWriter II NTXA is special for Chinese System, I think. There is harddisk
, put by some PostScript Chinese characters, connected to this LaserWriter.

The other Chinese system you may like to try is MacChina 3.1 made by
Great Eastern Software company in Taiwan.

MacChina 3.1 can let you use Chinese OutLine Font by connecting IBM PC.
The reason doing that is because PC is major in Taiwan market so far.
Designing a Chinese Card for Mac is extremely expensive if you compare with the
one for PC.

Maybe someone can tell me if there is a Chinese Word Processing Program.
Up to now, I hear no better news!
