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.
