	Right now I only know of two products that are being sold as Script Manager
Compatable Word Processors. The first is begin marketed here in the States by
Davka Corporation of Chicago (13129444070) and is called Rav-Ktav. (They are
trying to market it strictly as a Hebrew/Arabic Word Processor, but it uses
the Script Manager and should work just fine with the Japanese System too...
	The other product is from WinSoft in France, and I do not know if it is
even available in the states.  Offhand I also forget the name of the product
(I think it is something like WinWrite, or Win____).  
	Both products are EXPENSIVE, and as I said before, fairly limited in
functionality.  I am hoping that some of the new high-end processor coming have
enough insight to make themselves compatable.  If not, then I will probably
be stuck with one of there or with fighting FWP!!!
