Dear Folks -

	International system software releases lag behined US system
software releases from six months to a year.
	At present KanjiTalk 1.1 is shipping from APDA, as part of the Kanji 
Macintosh System Software.  This is based on the last Macintosh Plus system 
software.  We plan to ship in the next six months KanjiTalk 2.0 from APDA as
part of the Kanji Macintosh System Software, which is based on System 4.1 and
finder 5.5.  It is not MultiFinder compatable.  Before we can ship this
package from APDA, we need an English language usage note written, and as
soon as that note is ready it will ship from APDA.
	The issues which I have outlined above also able to HanziTalk, 
HangulTalk, Arabic Interface System, and Hebrew Interface System.  We are
working on making all of these products available from APDA, but we can't
just slap a copy of a disk into a box.  I hope that this message will help
you understand some of the delays involved in making international system
software available from APDA.
