In Australia, you can buy CStar v1.3 for A$550 = US$390 from

Austone Technology Pty Ltd.
F3a 683-689 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000
P O Box K47 Haymarket NSW 2000
Phone: (02) 281-8329
Fax:   (02) 281-8354

My Note:
1. Cstar comes with a hardware lock (Dongle), which should attach to LPT1.
2. There is no upgrade policy, that means if you have bought v1.2 for A$500,
   you still need to pay A$550 for v1.3.
3. From my experience, it is good if you just want to make one page or two
   ads sheet, simply because you have Chinese chars with all English Fonts.
   BUT, if you are planning to work on a book or something, be careful.
   it crash Windows so offen, that I have to use WS_Word's autosave every
   minute. Once it crashes, you need to reboot window.
4. You will experiencing 'dirty sentense' in your file. That is because
   Word Processing program wrap the sentense at half chinese chars.
