I want to get this info also. I have several friends from Taiwan and Hong Kong
who would also like to know.

Also, a question: If your software is Script Manager-compatible, will it run
properly, with the native script in place of roman characters? I have looked
into this a little but have no experience with the SM.

Does anyone know how the characters are entered? I have seen a couple of
machines that allow you to enter Hanzi; one was a PC-clone from the PRC called
a "Great Wall" and it had radicals on the keys, with the next-char key taking
the place of a <RETURN> key. This was neat but was still basically MS-DOS
(yes, real DOS). The other machine, a Taiwanese box, was more WIMP-interface
where you point at a horizontally-scrolling set of menu columns that had the
radicals in them, and held down various keys as you un-clicked the mouse to
determine where the radical was positioned in the character.

I know that this is not comp.lang.chin (or whatever), so thanks for bearing
with me.
