[Long discussion of the problems of handling Chinese texts.] Perhaps some attention should be given to Japanese word processing techniques. Afterall, Japanese is considerably more complex than Chinese (in terms of word processing Chinese is a subset of Japanese). Looking at Chinese word processors, I get the sense that they are designed by people who still think that Chinese culture is the one and only source of ideas in Asia (if not the whole world) and who will absolutely refuse to pay any attention to Japanese technology. At demonstrations of Chinese word processors at academic conventions, I've specifically asked exhibitors if they've checked out Japanese technology, and the answer has been no. Earl H.
