from readme file:

   Welcome to Unicorn Editor, my styled text editor based on the WASTE
text engine. It is a small, easy to use program which fill the gap between
SimpleText and a full featured word processor. For oriental people, it
fills a void for a stand alone styled text editor for double byte language
with built-in font and input method support. Unicorn Editor v1.0 is a
ShareWare ($10). If you like the program, please support shareware concept
by paying the registration fee. 
   This WorldScript compatible style text editor for both 68K and PPC
Macintosh is back engineered based on the features of the popular Tex-Edit
Plus. Because both Tex-Edit Plus and Unicorn Editor use WASTE text engine,
one should find that the two programs share a lot of similarities in the
text editing features. While this program is not exactly the Tex-Edit Plus
yet, especially in sound and picture handling, the text handling is
further enhanced with various oriental language code set translation,
input method support and custom bitmap fonts support. The program was
writen in C and compiled with CodeWarrior 8. 
   
   In a word, the position of the Unicorn Editor, just as the popular
Tex-Edit Plus, is somewhere between a full featured word processor and the
SimpleText editor. It is a very good text editor for 2-byte language with
built-in font and input method support. 

1) Built-in Various Double-Byte Oriental Language Input Methods Support:

   Unicorn Editor implements the double byte oriental language input
method found in MacBlue Telnet, including traditional Chinese, simplified
Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Basically, one can use the same input method
modules for these language code set which is available from internet for
free. To see what is available, please check
    <URL:ftp://cnd.org/pub/software/mac/input>
   Other input methods can also be added from the CXterm counter-part by
using MacBlue's hzBuilt application which is distributed with the MacBlue
Telnet. 
   The input method support is meant for those who wants alternative input
methods besides the Apple supported OS, such as CLK or Chinese Talk, etc.
For those who have a Roman script system, the Unicorn Editor is a perfect
input environment. For those who does not want the Chinese OS at all,
Unicorn Editor can still input double byte languages and allow styled
editing. 

2) Common Oriental Language Code Set Support:
   Support for inter-conversion between different Chinese code set, such
as HZ, GB, Big5. In the File menu, there are two items: import and export
which deal with the code set conversion. For example, if you choose to
export HZ (from simplified Chinese), the current document (assume it is
all simplified Chinese) will be translated into HZ. The char/line of the
translated HZ coded Chinese is controlled by the preference dialog under
special popup. With the inter-conversion of various code, a Macintosh with
only one Chinese script system can also input and read different coded
Chinese. For example, if your Mac has only GB system, this program will
allow you to import to view or to export a Big5 file via code conversion
after viewing and editing the original file in GB. The addition of other
language coding support such as Japenese (EUC) is feasible if someone can
give me a pointer.
   
3) Worldscipt support:
   In a system with Worldscript II installed, 2-byte languages such as
Chinese, Japanese, Korean can be handled perfectly. If you have a Chinese
system active now, you can paste the date from the edit menu, the date is
pasted in the current cursor position with the right script and font. You
can also mix all different languages in a single document as long as the
corresponding language script is available in the system resource. 

4) QuickDraw GX aware:
   In a system with QuickDraw GX installed, the program utilizes some GX
functionality for printing, although this is not the full GX printing
support, i.e., the support for custom page setup, print one copy is still
missing from the menu bar. Anyway, for a simple text editor, I did not see
the use of a custom page setup for each pages, the print one copy
functionality is already implemented and used in the destop drag and drop
printing even though missing from the file menu. (The GX printing with the
custom Chinese, Korean, Japanese fonts is possible but not recommended.
Because GX printing has a fixed resolution (72bpi) with regardless of
printer resolution, I strongly suggest to turn the GX printing off if user
wants to print with custom bitmap font. )
   
5) PowerPC support:
   This is a FAT binary distribution, i.e., it provides native speed on
both the old 68K Macintosh and the PPC Power Macintosh. 

6) Beyond 32k document support:
   Capable of opening document of size larger than 32k as long as your RAM
allows. Unlike the SimpleText and the TeachText which can not handle >32k
files, Unicorn Editor can support any size as long as your RAM allows. 
   
7) Drag and Drop support:
   If your Macintosh has Drag and Drop extension installed, you can use
the drag and drop feature in your editing. 

8) Internet Configuration Support:
   If your system has the IC support, by command-click any URL, the
Unicorn Editor will automatically launch the corresponding application and
make the internet link. try to command-click following if you have
internet connection:
   <URL:ftp://cnd.org/pub/software/mac/>
   Internet Config 1.1 can be obtained from most Mac archieve ftp sites.
It must be configured first because this program can use the features.
Currently the applications which support Internet Config include Anarchie
1.6, YA-NewsWatcher 2.0, Fetch 3.0, etc. 
   The internet configuration support made Unicorn Editor a perfect viewer
for WWW. For any URL link, a command click on the URL will take you back
to the internet client.
   
9) Built-in Bitmap Font Support for Simple Editing and Viewing:
   if you do not have any Chinese system support, but still want to edit
or view Chinese, Unicorn Editor also provide styled editing capability. To
activate this feacture, one has to go to the special popup in the
preference dialog and check the "use custom HanZi font" checkbox. Any new
document created or opened after this action will be able to use HanZi
bitmap font in the styled text. (The document created or opened earlier
will have the wrong hook and remain Hanzi bitmap font incompatible. To
correct this, close them and re-open. )


System Requirement:

   Although the compilation is done with 68000 option, I would suggest
user to go for 68020 Mac or above or Power Macintosh. Unicorn Editor only
works with system 7.x. System 6 is not supported.

   WorldScript II is optional for proper handling of 2-byte oriental
language. Although without it,with a Roman script system the Editor can
still handle 2-byte oriental language. For users who want Chinese handling
but do not have a Chinese system, the WorldScript II extension and system
script can be obtained from Apple's Chinese Language Kit updater 1.1.1.
