If you go to the Microsoft web site for updates, http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/, you can click on Product Updates and choose from a list of several language IMEs to download. -----Original Message----- From: LLTI-Editor [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2000 8:23 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: #5671katakana / hiragana software --- Forwarded Message from barbara sawhill <[log in to unmask]> --- >Date: Fri, 01 Sep 2000 17:17:01 -0400 >From: barbara sawhill <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: katakana / hiragana software >Originator-info: login-id=psawhill; server=mail.oberlin.edu >To: [log in to unmask] Our Japanese faculty have decided that our old hypercard programs that once allowed students to review their knowledge of katakana and hiragana are no longer suitable. (Basically: they don't work...So much for OS 9 and Hypercard) I am wondering if there are any suggestions for inexpensive Japanese language software that can run on OS 9 (or NT) that might fill the void.
