Dear linguists who are in need of 'hangul' (Korean alphabet)

Information for the Mac-user who needs a Korean
word/communication program: I am posting on behalf of my friend who
created this software.

About Han Korean Kit
===================
This language kit provides you with what you need to
use Korean on a Macintosh. Simply pull down the
keyboards menu, choose a keyboard, and begin
typing with Han fonts.

This Han Korean Kit lets you run both Korean (Wansung and
Han) and English applications and add Korean text to all your documents.
Create, edit, run and print documents in
Korean or English using Han TrueType and PostScript fonts.
The user can also work with Wansung code files created in
HangulTalk, the Korean version of the Macintosh operating
system. Because Hantorie1.0 was created as a control panel
of System 7.0 or later, there's no need to add
an additional operating system like HangulTalk.

The kit is easily installed and includes bilingual
documentation.

Here are pros and cons of HKK.

Pros:
(1) System 7.5 compatible (including QuickDraw GX)
(2) Low cost ($39)
(3) Same input and printing speed as English
(4) Customizable keyboard layout and font
(5) Capability of representing all possible combinations of
Hangul characters.

Cons:
(1) No Hanja support
(2) (for some people) Irrectangular syllable shape

System Requirement
====================
Hantorie can be installed on any systems of version 7.0.
Hantorie, six fonts, keyboard files take about 500K
memory.
