Another place this subject is discussed is at the annual PROTEXT
conferences organized by Professor J. Miller of Trinity College,
Dublin, Ireland.  PROTEXT IV, held October 1987 in Boston,
included some relevant papers including:

	Text Processing in Ideographic Languages, by Loh
		Shiu-Chang and Kong Luan

	Key Problems in Developing an Advanced Chinese Text
		Processing and Typesetting System, by
		Wang Xuan
