The version of KanjiTalk available in Australia is incorporated into
a rather antique system.
Is anyone running KanjiTalk on an SE or Mac II?
If you are, could you please send me information about where you got it
and how it's going? I'm particularly interested in anyone running their
systems as multilingual Macs, swapping often from the Roman to Kanji
script manager. I'd also be VERY interested in anyone that is doing
Japanese DeskTop publishing.
Many thanks,
derek

Unfortunately, KanjiTalk is _only_ available with a rather antique System file. When I contacted APDA, they said they hoped to have KanjiTalk on the newer system in about 6 months. I also contacted Apple. They apologised, but offered no help. Since I am running Multifinder on a 2.5 Meg Mac+, I really need the newest System. Too bad Apple is missing the boat on this. If you ever find a solution, please post it here. Thanks from Saipan in the Mariana Islands.

Dear Folks - International system software releases lag behined US system software releases from six months to a year. At present KanjiTalk 1.1 is shipping from APDA, as part of the Kanji Macintosh System Software. This is based on the last Macintosh Plus system software. We plan to ship in the next six months KanjiTalk 2.0 from APDA as part of the Kanji Macintosh System Software, which is based on System 4.1 and finder 5.5. It is not MultiFinder compatable. Before we can ship this package from APDA, we need an English language usage note written, and as soon as that note is ready it will ship from APDA. The issues which I have outlined above also able to HanziTalk, HangulTalk, Arabic Interface System, and Hebrew Interface System. We are working on making all of these products available from APDA, but we can't just slap a copy of a disk into a box. I hope that this message will help you understand some of the delays involved in making international system software available from APDA. -- Jordan Mattson UUCP: ucbvax!mtxinu!apple!jordan Apple Computer, Inc.
