I am looking for a program that will handle the Korean character set on an MS-DOS environment. If there is something that addresses this, I would love to hear about it. If not, I have heard of a generic language word processor that lets you define your own character set. I would be interested in any information. --- Michael J. Cleary, uunet!ucsd!ucrmath!candh!mike

You can get hanja with the Duke Chinese Typist, which I discussed in a follow-up article in this section and a few others--but you'd probably want the ability to intersperse hangul, right? Well, the Duke Chinese Typist will eventually have a hangul interface (as well as katakana and hiragana interfaces for typing in Japanese).

I've been checking into this and I don't know that there are any software packages that will understand Korean characters as you describe on a "regular" IBM PC . There are two problems: input and output! However, HP makes an asian IBM PC clone. I am relatively sure that they have a Korean version that will do everything you want. I saw one about two weeks ago and it was really neat. I hope this helps! Good Luck, Donna E mail: donnag@hpfclr.HP.COM

It was purchased from JDR Microdevices (# MCT-HEGA). The manual makes reference to "special Hercules emulation" that supports "KOREA-language-version GEMWRITE". That's about all it says - apparently something lost in translation (Korean-made board). -- Kevin Tubbs, 5152 Upson, Cornell University, Ithaca NY, 14853 (607) 255-8703 kevin@calvin.ee.cornell.edu {ihnp4,uunet,rochester}!cornell!calvin!kevin "If you took all the after-dinner speakers that ever were, and laid them end- to-end at the equator, it would be a good thing."
