Subject:      Re: seeking info. on Chinese computer systems

 Hi!

 In Singapore, we are using the following systems:

 1. LXPC Han-card - this card has 1MB on board and is compatible
 to most software, ie Wordstar, dBASE 3+, Lotus, C, Prolog etc.
 It also provides its own desktop typesetting software DTP.

 2. Synetone System - this is a software system. But it also
 provides a Han-card for storing Chinse fonts. We can use PE
 or Wordstar on this system.

 3. HDCCDOS - like above.

 4. PJY/PYS system. A quite intelligent Pinyin input system. The system
 automatically memorise the characters selected by the users. It also
 segment a sentence automatical and translate the pinyin codes to
 characters.

 5. Brushwriter system - Chinese word processor developed locally.

 I do not know which one is most popular here. Of course, there are
 also small number of Chines wp systems using IBM 5550, Apple talk (Mac),
 and even the CCDOS/CCBIOS.

 Hope these information are useful.
