I am continually frustrated at not being able to use the Japanese system (properly) with most word processors (listen carefully, T/Maker, Microsoft, Ann Arbor, ...).

The first is begin marketed here in the States by Davka Corporation of Chicago (13129444070) and is called Rav-Ktav. (They are trying to market it strictly as a Hebrew/Arabic Word Processor, but it uses the Script Manager and should work just fine with the Japanese System too... The other product is from WinSoft in France, and I do not know if it is even available in the states. Offhand I also forget the name of the product (I think it is something like WinWrite, or Win____). Both products are EXPENSIVE, and as I said before, fairly limited in functionality. I am hoping that some of the new high-end processor coming have enough insight to make themselves compatable. If not, then I will probably be stuck with one of there or with fighting FWP!!! +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ + + Any thing I say may be taken as + + Leonard Rosenthol + fact, then again you might decide+ + President, LazerWare, inc. + that it really isn't, so you + + + never know, do you?? + + leonardr@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu + + + GEnie: MACgician + + + Delphi: MACgician + + + + + +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
