Or you might have the database up on the web next week if you
used Blueworld's Lasso with Filemaker.

How about Fortune 500 companies and other large organizations that
want to get the work done and products out using databases
that get the work done for you.

Does anyone out there know of a program that can convert Japanese text files
into editable text within Illustrator, Freehand or XPress on a PC?

We are currently using Apple's Japanese Language Kit on our Macs and
formatting via Illustrator, then importing into XPress documents. We will
soon be moving over to PC based systems running with NT (ahhhhh, corporate
america...) and I've yet to come across any programs that will work
similarly to the JLK on the PC. Usually the files are provided by our
translators as MS Word files.

Any ideas?

TIA

        Well, I can't help you on the XPress side - but ALL Adobe=20
products (Illustrator, Photoshop (etc.) and the new InDesign) are=20
100% compatible both x-platform and in all languages (esp. CJK -=20
Chinese, Japanese and Korean). So as long as you stick with Adobe=20
products, you're all set! (oh, and Word->InDesign works=20
beautifully, even in Japanese!)

Actually in Toast there is a settings page where you choose Windows Joliet
or dos filenames for your ISO partition and you select the Mac partition
settings separately. For a hybrid disk On the Mac toast allows you to create
an ISO volume from a folder while the Mac volume has to be created from a
separate volume or partition on your hard drive (zip or jazz disk etc. Toast
will even create a temporary partition on your hard drive for the Mac
Volume. Interestingly, both can be set up to autoplay on insertion.

I sometimes store info on HTML files written to CD for distribution. Anyone
got an elegant way to get the start page to autoplay on insertion regardless
of the browser on the machine? You can't just set up the index.htm file as
the autoplay run file, it has to be executable file and when it doesnt start
up it makes it difficult to open the CD from the disk image, confusing some
users. Perhaps a .bat file or something more elegant. Win2000 doesn't
support applescript does it? ;>)

Adding my 2 cents...

We run our 15M company (mostly) with Great Plains Dynamics SQL server. I
say mostly because we have a FMP based order entry and sales & cash
receipts database 340 fields wide with 5 related files that takes about
9-10K new records each month. It been running with nary a problem for
about 12 years now - however I should mention that this main database gets
archived & cloned no records once a year.

Even though the claim on the front of the lasso box ("Quickly tie your
filemaker databases to the web") is a *bit* of an exageration, it's been
*way* easier than trying to wrench GPD's order entry module to suit our
needs -

I'll admit FileMaker does have some limitations and problems (as I'm sure
our resident FMP geek would attest to). IMO the biggest problem is that FM
is single threaded which means you either have to have an array of
FileMaker clients for Lasso to hit (with round robin DNS) or you have to
live with Lasso constantly waiting for it's FM client to process each
*single* request. The former is pretty expensive (Small Dog Electronics
uses this method) the latter is just slow (we use this method :-))
Hopefully, FM 5 will take care of this. I've heard rumours to that effect
but...we'll see.

Anyway, if it has truly been *years* since you've done anything DB related,
you should certainly give FMP/Lasso a look-see - it's pretty powerful
stuff.

Y'all are getting way to complicated for what you want to do. All you need
is a CDR utility that can do sector level copies. At that level, formatting
is irrelevant, and it works real well, because two weeks ago, I copied about
6 Mac CDs on a CDR hooked to a Compaq. No virtual HFS volumes, nada.
Sector-copied the CD, all six worked perfectly.

Geoff,

Maybe this isn't the right answer and it runs contrary to the theme of the
list but maybe you really should consider switching rather than fighting. :
-)

If you're going into a *completely* homogenous Windows environment, the IT
department there might not be prepared to deal with any of the problems you
might encounter as a mac user. And you should make sure that you'll have
access to all the computing services you'll need with your mac - for
example, will you need to query a MS Access database or rely on some other
windows executable to do your daily biz? If you need to use strictly PC
applications, you'll need to find workarounds. If they use something other
than a standard POP3 or IMAP mailserver like Outlook or Notes you'll have
to hunt down and configure your own client software.

It may be that your new employer's IT dept really wants to provide you with
a positive and productive user experience (which they feel they can *best*
give you with some flavor of the Windows OS) or it may just be that they're
OS bigots fighting the holy war because they feel it more efficient to deal
with just one platform (very shortsighted IMHO). If it's the former, you
may convince them to try to help you out setting up the Netware client on
your mac and get you going with the apps you need (or maybe it's nothing
more than a web browser and a POP client). If it's the latter, it may be
rough sailing.

I don't know if it works for you, but I found I can read Chinese on
Win95/98 English System by installing Microsoft's language components. You
can find the download by choosing Windows Update from Tools menu in
Internet Explorer 5. I believe there're Chinese (traditional, simplified),
Korean, and Japanese components (and many others) there. They may have
input components there too, but I have never used it. Also, Office 2000
seems to be able to open documents in other languages very well.

Also check out:
http://www.njstar.com/
http://www.twinbridge.com/

With one of these two products, you can display and input Japanese (and
other Eastern Asia languages). They probably work better than MS's solution
since they have been in the market for a while.

Please keep us posted on your findings,

I've had much success using TwinBridge's software on Window's platforms.
Twinbridge's implementation of CJK standards permits doing word processing
under Windows, complete with handsome font packages, thereby side stepping
the S-JIS problem for nihongo. Once you've got your file looking final,
simply save it as a graphics file using a shareware package such as
Snapshot. The other option, which I used to do, consists of setting up a
dual boot system with System Commander, thereby running both English and
Japanese versions of Windows on the same platform, doing the edits and
typeset under the Japanese system, then exporting final files as graphics
objects to the English system; while cumbersome, it got me through the day
until TwinBridge came along.

One of the aspects I like about FileMaker Pro v 4.x is the web companion.
You can design a web page with the appropriate tags and easily pass through
data to the database. I understand that the FMP web companion is based on
Blue World's lasso technology.

http://www.blueworld.com/blueworld/default.html

Is it possible to build a solution using FMP and lasso to interact with an
ODBC database? Would anyone care to comment on how WebOjects fits into the
picture too.

And you've gotten this to work in EZ-CD Creator? When I've tried I get 31 char filenames in the Windows environment but only the 8+3 set when the same CD is read on a Mac. Can you give me some insight as to the settings you used in EZ-CD Creator? Vincent Cayenne <mailto:vin@audiophile.com>

EZ-CD Creator's idea of a 'hybrid' is data/music, not Mac/PC. On a lark, since we have both Toast and EZ CD Creator here, I just made a Toast Mac HFS CD image and burned a CD using EZ CD in the CD Image mode using the Toast image file. I ended up with an, errr, _interesting_ audio CD. It'll be good for the Alien Radio Station FX ;-)
