I love it ! Two problems though, it's simplified Chinese, and guessing what the pinyin of a character is tough. I wonder if byx can be modified easily to use the unsimplified characters. For the latter problem, I don't see any good solution, except investing in fancy input devices like a lightpen. I would like to hear comments and possible soultions on these problems. -- Shun Yan Cheung | cheung@mathcs.emory.edu Internet Emory University | cheung@emory.bitnet BITNET Dept of Math and CS | Voice: (404) 727-3823 Atlanta, GA 30322 | Engineering: make it work.
