- Jon,
- Better check your sources -- I think the confusion is that ggale is
- looking for the ChineseTalk II init/appl, which is entirely different from
- ChinaTalk (the virus). ChineseTalk II is an init/appl that allows the use
- of Chinese Characters for wp etc.
- As for where it can be found, I'm not sure, but you may try to find it
- by writting to chinesetalk@csli.stanford.edu where a mailing list for
- ChineseTalk II is kept.
