I am aware that for input of Simplified/Trad Chinese characters the systems I mentioned are not the only ones. The reference below lists the three most commonly used ones. I was referring specifically to the use of pinyin to input some Chinese into a document. Native users would no doubt use a ZIM system due to its faster speed. Anyone who has used scim or skim for a while would agree I am sure. http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/genprogc/chinese_zim.htm Anyhow I am glad to hear that you are across it and have it on a todo list, I am sure it will be useful. regards Martin (who is no expert in these things but was forced to learn during recent missions in China ....) -- Martin Fox, system operator Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ITECO Engineering Limited LPIC-1; registered as #324626 with the Linux counter www.counter.li.org This mail was sent through the ITECO AG SuSE Linux Mail Server 2:00pm up 86 days, 4:22, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.05
