Susan --

A description of a Chinese Word Processor for the MAC follows my message. It
is taken from a previous post on one of the nn bboards I think. The post is
not current, but I called Wu, who will be sending me some literature. You
might do the same.

I am looking for a Chinese Word Processing package for an IBM compatible
machine. Any suggestions anyone might have would be appreciated.

Regards.

We recently saw a demonstration of FeiMa, a Chinese Word Processor
for the 512K Mac.  User interface, I/O, etc. is all in Chinese or
icons.  Looks great.  Character entry or recognition by Chinese Typewriter
(on screen via mouse), calligraphic recognition, or four other means.
Characters printed and displayed at 24*24 pixel resolution.  Also
includes traditional->simplified character translation.  Faster than
other Mac software I have seen.  Does have capability to include english
text if desired.  Has standard 35*70 set of `typewriter' characters,
optional 3k characters which can selected for `spare' slots on the
typewriter, plus ability to draw your own characters.  WOW!  Even if
you do not use the editing capabilities it is much faster and easier
to use than the mechanical typewriter, as you can zip about with the
mouse and just click on a character rather than the whole song and dance
of inking the type and striking - plus it is right reading rather than
reversed.
