[cw-discuss] IME can't be used and copy&paste doesn't work

[Aric Stewart]

Hello Kurosaka-san,

 You are just a bit early. I have just finished a lot of work that
addresses this exact problem.  So with our next beta you will be able to
input Japanese, Simple Chinese and Traditional Chinese using the IME
menu.  So your requested functionality will be here soon.

 Copy and paste should work into Unicode applications. However if the
application is MBCS, like most windows 98 applications, then your are
correct the text gets corrupted because we are trying to paste in the
Unicode.

  Thank you for the feedback and i look forward to any reports you have
on my work once we are able to release our next beta.
