Maybe we should start a Guijin Mac user group?
Thanks again.

We never made an OSX version but focussed on mobile implementations through the Newton, Psion, Palm, Nokia etc and now of course on keitai. Perhaps you may have heard of TangoTown?![]()
The last version of UniDICT that was made for Mac or any desktop was v1.5 in 1999 I think. There were lots of things we wanted to do with the Mac version but the business model (ie cheap fuckers not wanting to pay for desktop software) really doesn't lend itself to extensive development of useful features.

Charles wrote:I remember those olden days, the stuff in OS 8 and 9 seemed like the ultimate development of Japanese language tools. And now look how far we've come since then. At least you didn't pursue the MacOS X dict niche just to see Apple come along and stomp on it.
