There is a thing called ET that is used all over Taiwan, among other
things. It runs on PCs with hercules compatible displays.

I don't know Chinese so I can't help you with this stuff. But the
software does exist. I got a copy of it thinking my wife, who does read
chinese, could explain it to me. Unfortunately the manual appears to be
neither english or chinese, but chinese computer and so neither one of
us can read it or use it. I'm sure you won't have this much trouble.
