I have asked to post a request for information on Chinese 
word processing programs for the Macintosh.  Please mail the replies
to me.  

Thank you,

	I have seen a number of postings on Chinese and Japanese word processing
over the last couple of weeks.  I too have been searching for a Script Manager
compatible word processing that could handle two-byte characters (ie. work 
with KanjiTalk and HanziTalk, which are our Japanese and Chinese versions of 
the Macintosh System Software).  This last week I spoke to some people at 
Letraset and found out that Ready, Set, Go 4.0 can handle two-byte characters 
and is therefore capable of being used as a word processor for Chinese and 
Japanese.  I have not confirmed that this is true yet, but as soon as I get
a copy I will work with it and post my findings to the net.
	Also, for those of you who are interested, the Chinese Macintosh System
Software will be availabel from APDA in around two months.
