Thank you for your interest in reading this article. Actually I am a PC-user who has one burning question to ask regarding the coming Windows 95 (Win95) and it's Chinese software compatibilty problem. Before attempting my question, I shall introduce my system config and settings first. Hardware: - 486dx2/66 Intel - 16 Mb RAM - Microsoft compatible mouse (Com2) - PenPower Chinese Writing Pen and Pad (Com1) - Modem (Com4) (so far, no hardware conflict) Software: - MS DOS v6.22 - MS Chinese Windows v3.1 (Big-5 code) I am a Chinese and in my day-to-day working environment, I need to use Chinese a lot, and hence I chose Chinese Windows instead of the plain Windows (English). And from 24th August onward, I still want to work with my Chinese documents, and I also want Win95, so I have the following questions: 1. I recently knew that there is a software called "Twinbridge" (TB) that can display Chinese (and Japanese) in plain MS Windows. Does anybody have any experience with TB and Win95? Since I heard from somebody else that Win95 will use Unicode system, is that compatible with the old Big-5 codes? 2. Will there be any hardware conflict between my Chinese writing pad and the other hardware (eg mouse, modem)? 3. Can I use TB and Penpower together? I heard somebody said yes and some said no. Please help. I would be much appreciated if anyone could help me to sort out these problems. And I would be delighted to supply more info when further clarification is required. Thanks in advance! :-P (please send me emails in reply) PS. My computer system is "running" like a snail now, I desperately need a system that could boost up the speed with my current resources. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ___ doctor@asiaonline.net | | | | . | _ .
