Lotus Approach, Chinese Windows and Non-English Languages Here is what you
need to upgrade your antiquated database system: Buy Lotus Approach - a
surprisingly easy-to-use database under Windows 3.x. Install it on your
Chinese Windows 3.1. If you need foreign languages that require the full
ASCII-character set, get some highbit Truetype fonts or turn of the
ANSI-substitution in the win.ini file. The result is an extremely simple
yet powerful database that stores information in any language you buy
fonts for (even Chinese-Arabic-Hindi dictionaries are possible). We used
it to create a German-English-Chinese technology dictionary which now
holds around 23,000 entries. The files are still relatively small, and
Lotus Approach supports the German umlauts and the Chinese characters in
any view, list, report, mail label you'd possibly wish to create.  Marten
