Subject: Truly Multi-lingual Computing on Windows Machines?

I just received the September 27 issue of _PC Magazine_, in which the
following announcement is printed, which I thought might be of some
interest to Eastlib subscribers.

	... Gamma UniType, a new multilingual Windows program from
	Gamma Productions (800-974-2662), maker of Multi-Lingual 
	Scholar.  UniType installs UniCode extensions, which support
	175 languages, into Windows, and lets you localize all 
	your Windows apps.  And for multilingual Windows word
	processing, Israel-based Accent Software International
	(800-535-5226) has introduced Accent, a 34-language word
	processor that lets you use multiple character sets within
	a single document and switch among different language keyboards.

While it seems that Gamma UniType includes the CJK region of the Unicode
table, how well "all your Windows apps." localized through this software
programme can handle 2-byte codes remains to be seen.
