After reading the comments on FeiMa, the Chinese word processor for the Mac on 
comp.sys.mac, I have decided to stick to MacBillboard for writing Chinese.  :-)
Seriously, I have been contemplating about writing a decent Chinese word
processor for the Atari ST or the Mac.  I did get to see a Japanese word 
processor for the Mac, but unfortunately, even though Japanese has similar
characters to Chinese, the pronunciation is way off...  

Anyways, if people would send me some info on what kind of implementation they
prefer for this kind of a program, please send me some ideas.  For instance,
would people like to use pinyin or ju yin fu hou.  I have a feeling that
most people use pinyin.  Any comments on the easiest and most user friendly
method to use would be greatly appreciated.  Also, I would like comments
and suggestions on using either Forth or C to program such a beast.  For 
instance, how would one go about storing the graphic characters?  Would it
be easiest to just redefine the ascii character set or define an extention
to the character set...  

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
