[sci.lang.japan] KanjiTalk

c60a-6dd@web7c.berkeley.edu (07/16/88)

	I just got a copy of Apple's KanjiTalk and fonts...

shitsumon:

1) is there a new version corresponding with system 6.0?
2) why, even though I have one meg, is the finder almost unusable?
	(are all the fonts loaded all the time, or what?)
3) what word processors (besides Teachtext) are scriptmanager
compatible?

4) Does anyone have a copy of that system switching program? I'd like
to put both systems on my hard disk...

I had heard that there was a new improved KanjiTalk in the works.
True? 

thanks. I really need the system switcher...

Sorry if anyone sees this twice.  I made a mistake with the
distribution and didn't realize it until now. :-(

Does any one know just how space the Kanzi fonts take up in the ROM?
(I am assuming they take up the same amount of RAM if I don't have the ROM.
Is this a good assumption?)

 How about word processors marketed in Japan? 

Also, does anyone know if Apple publishes an English version of the Kanzi
Talk manual?  I want to use Japanese on my Mac, but I'm not good
enough to read a manual in Japanese yet. :-(  Anyone done any translations?

Any rumors on when it'll be ready or what will be improved?
