Dear all,

I will finish my study next year. I would like to join in the
industry of software internationalization. I have some experiences
in this area. I have developed a 16 bits xterm which can work for
Chinese and Japanese. I even combined these two langauges to let
them be used with the same terminal. In the typesetting area, I have
developed a software called "cc2tex", which can put Chinese and
japanese into latex. These software is available at anonymous
crl.nmsu.edu and nuscc.nus.sg. I am now visiting at University
of Pennsyvania. Following is my resume. Thanks a lot for your
consideration.
