Character in the Chinese OS on Mac can be customized by open the "Zhong Wen Xi
Tong" DA, edit the shape of the Chinese characters, add in your own characters
or any rare charatcers found in a big dictionary.  But user-defined charatcers
are coded in two byte machine index.  How can I retreat them (when I input in
pinyin)?  Also is it possible to give the add-in characters pinyin that it will
show up at when you type in that pinyin?

Another different question:  Can anyone out there who has used both TianMa on
PC and Chinese system on Mac compare the usefulness of the two programs?
>From what it advertised for TianMa, Chinese OS on Mac seems to do the same
thing (pinyin or Cizu input, mixing pinyin and bi-hua input, etc.)
Also what's the comparison of the VGA and EGA monochronic terminal with the
standard Mac Plus terminal in resolution?
