Does any one out there know any (public domain) Chinese word processor?
Preferably, it should work with monochromic monitor or EGA monitor. If any
one of you have such a WP, could you e-mail me a copy or post it if you
think there should be enough general interest?
Thank you very much in advance!

If any >one of you have such a WP, could you e-mail me a copy or post it if you >think there should be enough general interest? I know of several Chinese word-processors for the PC and 1 for the Mac. Here's the one I recommend: Duke Chinese Typist. It runs on any PC with an EGA card (the author tells me that the latest version, soon to come out, will have support for several other graphics cards [I think he said that it will support Hercules, CGA, AT&T's Indigenous Graphics Board, and others, but I'm not sure.]) and at least 512 K RAM (though 640 K is _much_ preferred). It's written by my Chinese professor, Dr. Richard Kunst, of Duke University. He distributes copies for $25, which apparently includes updates. (I think this figure is current, but it may not be.) Input is in pinyin (the next version may have Cangjie input also); however, for you Tai/ wan- ren/ out there, an on-line help screen containing a zhuyin fuhao-to-pinyin conversion table is available at the press of a key. I'll provide more info on request, but I encourage anyone interested to write Dr. Kunst: Dr. Richard Kunst Asian/Pacific Studies Institute Duke University 2111 Campus Dr. Durham, NC 27706 UUCP: ...!duke!ducall!don BITNET: DKUNST@TUCC I'll post another article about other word processors later. --Scott Horne shorne@amber.cs.clemson.edu (192.5.219.82) BITNET: PHORNE@CLEMSON Scott Horne P.O.
