	TwinBridge (made by PC Express) is Chinese Windowing system runs w/
Windows 3.1.  The professional version supplies w/ 8 kinds of truetype fonts
(5 traditional & 3 simplified).  IMHO, it's a fairly decent system except it has
a high price tag (US$799) for personal use.  Has anyone found out when Chinese
Windows 3.1 is going to be available and has more than one font?
	I'm not associated w/ the company.  I make a few contacts because of
the investigation of Chinese systems (DOS/Windows) for personal and church use.

NSTC Videotape format...
TITLE: NSTC Video Format Tapes

Mary and I have just bought this a-mazing Panasonic VHS video player: 
A brief glance through the manual tells us that it will play (but not 
record) tapes in the NSTC video format.

When I was in San Fran last (back in '91) I saw what looked like Walt 
Disney's "The Jungle Book" on VHS Video -- there was much gnashing of 
teeth and rending of cloth as I didn't have a player that could 
handle NSTC video format back then.

Now we do...

Is the Jungle Book still available in the US (Namely Chicago or San 
Fran areas)? Like a good journo the first port of call was to 
telephone the UK Disney press office and ask them: their official 
line is that "There are no plans as yet to release "The Jungle Book" 
In the UK". Which basically means "No! Not Ever... you must be 
kidding"

The soundtrack was in HiFi Stereo. I think Disney did a re-mastering 
job as well as far as I remember and digitally remastered the VHS 
tapes (now you can see why I was virtually crying at the injustice).

I'd post this in alt.fan.furry but I cannot afford to join yet 
another newsgroup. even when I''m using 14400 bps at V42bis!

Clive.

Jason swims over to Bi-Bulb. "Well, I can read (and I assume create, though
I haven't bothered before) GIF format files, and I have access to 8-bit
greyscale and color flatbed scanners, and to a color still-video camera.
FTP-ing is no problem. I'm using Macintosh hardware. I could try to produce
a GIF of Jason, but Thyra's -very- camera-shy, so I'd have to have an
artist do a sketch of her and go with that. Sound files are a lot trickier.
I use them a lot on the Macintosh platform, but transferring them to other
platforms is difficult. And they take an -outrageous- amount of disk space
for what you get, if you want very good reproduction."

I've been wanting to do for awhile now -- I signed up for ballroom

The lizard suddenly pictures himself in a tux, complete with bow

Merlinvin does a doubletake at the recommended temperatures, then
remembers that Tanais lives Across the Pond.  "Hmmm, my vulpine
friend, I surely hope those are Celsius/Centigrade temperatures.
160-180 degrees Fahrenheit won't cook much of anything (except computer
chips, of course).  I'm also not entirely sure what a "fan-assisted"
oven is - if we have them here in the x-colonies, they're not called
the same thing - could you describe them?"

"The first time I ever made pizza on my own, I had just finished a sort
of after-school cooking class that a friend's mother taught out of her
home bakery, which was complete with commercial-grade, high-power ovens.
Naturally, I used the same amount of time to cook the pizza as I'd used
in class; unfortunately, the results were, shall we say, a soggy mess?
Definitely not a culinary triumph.  In fact, you might say I ended up
with pie on my face..."
