The Script Manager (SM) is the underlying mechanism (Toolbox Manager - like the Window or Menu Manager) by which foreign language processing is done under the Macintosh O.S. An Interface System is a localized version of the files contained on the System Tools disks (example include AIS (Arabic Interface System) and KIS (Kanji Interface System)) which may also include a series of additional files such as INITs and language dictionaries which are required to properly implemented processing in that language. Sorry again for the tirade, but I wanted to clear this up.... +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ + Leonard Rosenthol + fact, then again you might decide+ + President, LazerWare, inc. + that it really isn't, so you + + + never know, do you?? + + leonardr@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu + + + GEnie: MACgician + MacNET: MACgician + + Delphi: MACgician + AppleLink: D0025 + +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
