Hi,

Thank you all for reacting so quickly and numeriously to my inquiries.
Some aspects should be mentioned in this context:

1) The dictionaries are basically developed by Prof. Heinzl, TU Munich and
is a part of "Munich [input] System".
2) A Windows stand-alone version which I mean does NOT enable the user
to put any Chinese character into his applications. It will only show
Chinese characters in 16x16 bitmap.
3) There will be no version for MS-Win 3.1 if it only supports Big 5. The
original text of the dictionaries is simplified Chinese. A conversion
on-fly does not fulfill the standard which we anticipate from a dictionary.
4) I am sorry not to have asked some of you - Mac users. Here a consolation:
An English company is already working on a Mac version. In Prof. Heinzl's
original words: "To help the second generation of American Chinese learn
their(?) language endly".

Thank you all again and best wishes

Bo
