NJStar Communicator for Windows

Used NJStar Communicator for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Long on features, and short on looks, NJStar Communicator gets everything right except its hideous interface. The unreadable fonts and poorly drawn icons recall the bad old days of Windows 3.x, and most functions are squirreled away in various menus, making them hard to find quickly.

Which is a shame, because there really are a lot of them, and they're quite useful. NJStar Communicator allows you to input Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) text in any Windows application. It also can convert between different character sets, such as Unicode and Big5, or translate documents into GIFs, which will always appear the same no matter who's viewing them. On top of all that, it includes an e-mail client and a simple SMTP server.

In the end, NJStar Communicator leaves a Jekyll and Hyde impression. It's definitely useful in situations where people send and receive messages in different CJK languages. However, the interface needs a redesign from the ground up.

Pros
Perhaps it is useful for Win98
Cons
There's no need to be tested or used
Summary
If you know what the windows XP or Vista can do with Chinese or other east asia languages, you will disdain to cast a look at this postiche software. Only if you are using Windows 98, you can think out whether to have a try or to chage the OS.
free...
