This information comes from various Apple Consortium publications:

1.  The Beijing font

	Joel McNamara
	University of Utah


2.  Feima-Chinese Wordprocessing on the Mac

	"Gene Wu of the Wu Corporation in Conneticut has developed a Chinese
	wordprocessing package for the Macintosh called FeiMa.  Its
	features can be summarised as follows:

		1.  Dictionary of 2000 characters
		2.  Taiwanese font
		3.  3 input methods - Chuang-Chi, emulation of Chines
		    typewriter, and Wu's.
		4.  It partially utilises the Mac features i.e. it has
		    pull-down menus.

	It is the first and only Chinese wordprocessor on the Macintosh
	and while not sophisticated, it is similar to a first generation
	wordprocessing package and is adequate to basic needs.  FeiMa
	is between US$300 and US$400... the address is Wu Corporation,
	46 West Avon Road, Ct 06001.  Phone (203) 673 4796."
