Hello Netters:

     I am in the middle of doing research regarding Chinese and Japanese wordpro
packages for PC's.  Does any one know the answers to the following questions ?

         HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
          Random Access Memory
          As I have found, some Chinese wordprocessors are RAM-consuming, it tak
          usually around 400 to 500 K.  If this is the case, would they support
          expanded memory (LIM 4.0) or extended memory ?

          Hard disk Space
          How many megabytes are usually needed ?

          Graphics Adapter card
          Do they still require monochrome Hercules card or they now support EGA
          VGA or even Super VGA ?

          Printing features
          How many typefaces (i.e. Kai, Lih, standard pressing, Hiragana, Kanji.
          are available ? Are fonts scalable ? What is the maximum points (size)
          Are HP LaserJet II, III and IBM PS/2 PCs supported ?
          Can graphics be incorporated into text ? Does it support sideway print

          Creativity
          Can new characters be added to the existing set ?

         NETWORK COMPATIBILITY
          Are they network compatible for Novell 286/386 LAN ? or people should
          purchase the network versions sold separately ?

          SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
          DOS 3.3 or later version ?

          AVAILABILITY
          Are there any Japanese wordprocessor dealer in New York City ?

     Any information or comments are appreciated.  Please direct your response t
bitnet address CHENL@SJUVM and I will share the summary by posting it to the lis
Many thanks.
