With English version of OS/2, the only chance you have is to use some
add-on Chinese Windows environment with Win-OS2 and use Windows' web
browser. I don't know if there is any add-on type Chinese environment 
for OS/2, at least I have never heard of it. You can also buy Chinese 
version of OS/2, of course. There are so called T-Warp for traditional 
Chinese (used in Taiwan, and HongKong) and P-Warp for simplified 
Chinese (used in mainland China andSingapore.) You can use either of
them and run the DBCS-enabled WebExplorer. Hope this helps.

Will the double byte browser that comes with OS/2 Warp for Chinese, work 
for OS/2 Warp (US version)? Does the browser need to be double byte or 
the operating system?

    I'm not quite sure. But I think the point is on the OS, not only
the AP.

Not necessarily.  I think many OS developers like to claim this,
but it's not true.  I've got great Japanese tools running under
generic X windows, no hacking the underlying code.  There is
excellent Windows Japanese packages that emulate the Japanese
Windows product under normal Windows.  Supporting multi-byte
languages is just a matter of being able to displaying and
inputting the text.  Supporting this everywhere, such as in the
menus and all the system text, is another matter.  But for reading
and writing it's doable.  (of course, it's great if the OS provides
support for it and doesn't weasel out)

I agreed with you.  I managed to configure a DOS session for booting
up PC-DOS/V 7.0 (Japanese DOS) and all Japanese characters were
displayed properly.  Also tested is ChineseStar 2.0 for Windows
running under WIN-OS2 without much obvious problems.
