------------------
It's amazing that only some of your students are having this problem :-)

Anyway, the best software I have seen is "Write Chinese", a dos program,
which I have in version 1.60 from Awareness productions by Thomas Yee.
This actually teaches you to write the characters.

To review and drill on the characters, one comprehensive program now in
version 6 is "Chinese Character Tutor" by Andrew Ferguson.

And of course most every software program teaching chinese deals with
this challenge one way or another. "Wenlin" has been mentioned before on
this list, though I have yet to review it. I hope someone gives me some
more ideas, as "of [chinese characters], there is no end"..."grow old,
still only know 30%"
