Thank you for correcting me.  I was wrong in saying that Feima does not
exist for Mac.  FeMai is a great product on least on IBM end.  I would
like to see how it is done on a Mac, (even better ?).

However, from Unisource's formal press release, having a 2,450 + 630
chinese characters set is pathetic for a chinese word precessor.
ChineseTalk integrated writing system has around 6,500 characters as
its basic set and even that is not enough at times.

I hope that Unisource does have an upgrate to the aforementioned
product.  If anyone has infomation on FeiMai for the mac, would you
please e-mail it to me (or post it if you like)?  I would really
appreciated it.
