------------------
Yes.  We've had this problem on our new G4s (which won't run anything but
9.0).  It is a known bug, and Nisus does have some information on
workarounds on its site.  Nonetheless, for our (minimal) traditional Chinese
word-processing needs, we've gone back to using XLBR, which our Chinese
faculty member seems to prefer anyway.  

Is there a particular reason you couldn't back the system down to 8.6?  That
might resolve some of the issues.

                Is anyone having the following problem?  Has anyone found a
solution?

                Using Mac OS 9.0 (on an iMac, a PowerBook or a blue G3) with
Nisus
                5.1.3: selecting traditional Chinese results in an immediate
Nisus
                and system crash.
