--invention of NJSTAR
PAST---NJSTAR was created for windows. PLUS it was made especially for the convenience to those who use Chinese, Japanese and Korean to surf the internet. From the two hints above, I GUESS the year it was born is supposed to be between 1993 to 1995. The mean of the two number is 1994. We can get the best prediction value rom the regression line----NJSTAR was created at 1994!
NJWIN is designed to enable normal windows program to display and print Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters under the standard English and Western Windows environment. All Chinese / Japanese / Korean (CJK) coding standards are supported in NJWIN, and coding can be switched on the fly from one coding to another depending on the document being viewed.
The Internet is the fastest growing communication tool today. Therefore, many of NJWIN's features are added specifically for Internet. As the result, NJWIN is best Internet CJK viewer for browsing CJK Web pages, reading CJK news in UseNet newsgroups and reading CJK email messages.
Cost? How and Where to obtain NJSTAR?
Basically speaking,
NJSTAR is FREE. We can get that (Chinese Version) from the following website--
http://www.njstar.com.au/njstar/chinese/download.htm
Although it said clearly in the web that "This demo version is for pre-purchase
evaluation of up to 30 days. Fully registered version can be purchased
from NJStar directly.", we can download again after expiring 30 days later.
This is the trick!

Brandnew CEO Chip Bruce announced one breaking news yesterday night at CNN intervew--
Anchor Menglung Lai said (ML) : What is your feeling to get the CEO position of NEATscape?
Chip Bruce (Chip): I feel proud but I also suffer a lot of pressure as well!
ML : Can you briefly introduce the to-be-released NEATscape version 5.0, which will be in market tomorrow on August 16th 2000?
Chip: Well. In NEATscape 5.0, all kinds of language codes in the world will be embedded within Netscape 5.0 under the special button called "decrypting wizard" and everyone from everywhere can use every computer all around the world to read their native language. Because of the new technique, I am afraid some software such as NJSTAR will be history right away! I feel sorry about that! In doing this, we do not have to spend a lot of money open local company everywhere in the world like Microcoft and focus on the development of the technique!
