Subject: Chinese OS 6.0.3's problem on MAC LC and Classic

Hi everybody,
I have got a copy of Chinese OS 6.0.3(Bei3jing1) for my
new MAC Classic. I tried to install the Chinese OS on it.
The problem I have had is that some of the Chinese characters
come in messy order, i.e., it is no longer in PinYin order,
for instance, if I type PinYin 'ji1', I will get
jie, jin, jing, ji and so on.
I guess it is so because new MAC Classic and LC require
6.0.7 OS. Thus the question is which version Chinese OS runs
on these new machines.
Another question is if there is any good Chinese inputer like
Chinese wordstar, BYX for Machintosh.
If no, can we run CCDOS, Chinese WordStar and BYX on
MAC with SoftPC?
Any information and suggestion is welcome.
Hong

For the the pinyin order, you might try type in 'ji1 ' if you want to
exclude jie or jing, etc.

Chinese OS 6.05 is available on issue 4 of D e v e l o p magazine.

Nisus on Mac is supposedly the standard wordprocessor for international
system.  The one that design specially for Chinese might be called
TurboWrite.  Ask Pacific Rim 415 697 0911
