Hi,
there are some good products. Actually (ibm-based) pc:s have been almost
ten years behind Mackintosh-machines to develop programs, which can mix
chinese-based characters (like chinese, korean and japanese) with latin
letters. Some Mac-programs did that well already in the middle of 80's.
But later some shareware-programs appeared for pc:s as well. I like most a
simple dos-program called Nanjing-Star. (You can find it in 'the web' by
using 'netsearch for example.) There are also some products to help the
popular web-broser Netscape to read chinese-based characters. One
well-working program is 'Unionway'. You can find it 'easily' by using
'netsearch'. 'Unionway' works with the english version of win3.1.
