    The PanALE/UniText (a replacement for Unicorn Editor) is now a complete distribution package, i.e., it contains all the essential fonts, input methods, language scripts for CJK languages.

    If you download the PanALE/UniText from internet or info-mac CD-ROM, you should use Stuffit Expander to retrieve the PanALE/UniText. The complete package should look like following:
 

    You should not alter the directory arrangement of above files, the auto-configuration of UniText requires the above files remain in the same order.

    PanALE installation is mandatory if you do not have Apple's language kit installed. You can install the PanALE fbit fonts and international resources using "PanALE Utility", or just by using "UniText".

    The PanALE Utility provide the following options:

    Click "Uninstall" to uninstall all the PanALE font/system resources.
    Click Oriental Express to install only the Oriental Express demo package. Oriental Express is a dynamic localization package for Apple' s CLK, JLK, and KLK users.
    Click Finish to quit PanALE installer.
    Click Install to continue to install each language module.
    For use with UniText, Oriental Express is not required, but recommended. Click "Install" to continue.
 

    This option provide simplified Chinese font and resources installation. Click "Don't Install" to bypass this option. Click "Install" to install the selected fbit fonts.

    This option provide traditional Chinese font and resources installation. Click "Don't Install" to bypass this option. Click "Install" to install the selected fbit fonts.
 

    This option provide Japanese font and resources installation. Click "Don't Install" to bypass this option. Click "Install" to install the selected fbit fonts.
 

    This option provide Korean font and resources installation. Click "Don't Install" to bypass this option. Click "Install" to install the selected fbit fonts.
 

    This option install the "Oriental Express" dynamic localization package. Although this is not required, but it is strong recommended. Besides the dynamic localization, the Oriental Express can also provide Chinese/Japanese/Korean in system level when Worldscript is not available.

    If you install any of the above options, you will have to restart the Mac computer. If you start the UniText without PanALE, UniText will launch the PanALE Utility for PanALE installation based on its preference setting.

    Worldscript II technology is Apple's Asian Language solution. It is freely available from MacOS 7.5.3 and up. Although PanALE can work and to some extend replace the Worldscript II functionality, Worldscript II system extensions are strongly recommended for running UniText. You may choose not to install Worldscript II, in that case, UniText will use more memory to handle the PanALE fbit fonts.

    Worldscript II contains following system extensions:

• Worldscript II (providing script utilities)
• Worldscript Power Adapter (not needed for MacOS 8.0+)
• InputBackSupport (provide fbit font handling)

    If you are a system 7.1 user, above extensions are available from CLK updater 1.1.1. Use DiskCopy 6.1.2 to mount the disk image, the extensions are located in a folder named "support files" on the disk, DO NOT USE INSTALLER, PLEASE! Just drag and drop those files unto the System Folder icon. Finder will then ask you for permission to put extension into Extension Folder, etc., just click ok. Note, you already have any version of Worldscript II, you must bypass this step.

    If you are a system 7.5 user, above extensions can be custom installed using "system 7.5 update 2.0". You can obtain this update from Apple's web site http://www.apple.com. Look for either Worldscript II or international support options.
    If you are a MacOS 7.6 user, above extensions can be custom installed using MacOS 7.6 installer. Look for either Worldscript or international support options. You should use the "Install System Software" located in Disk "Install 1". Avoid the installer located in the Disk "Install Me First".

    MacOS 8.1 user needs to custom install the Worldscript II extension using the system installer.
    If you can not find the Worldscript II option using the "Add/Remove" function in the installer, you can install the Worldscript II directly following these directions: look for the installer in the illustrated folders: System Software Installers: Net Install: Software Installers: System Software: Mac OS 8: Installer. Double click the installer to install Worldscript II.

    As user starts up the installer (system 7.5 update 2.0 installer and system installer 7.6/8.0/8.1), look for the following screen:

You may need to click on the popup menu at the left top corner and change from "Easy Install" to "Custom Install" to get to this screen. Click the triangle before "International", and then check the "Worldscript II" box. Start installation. You are all set.

1) Text-to-Speech (TTS):

    If you have speech manager in your system, you can enjoy the "Text to Speech" functions of your Macintosh. The English version of the Text to Speech (aka, Macintalk as it was called a few years back) can be found in Apple's web site. For those peoples who want to learn or proof-read Chinese this way, you can install the Chinese TTS onto your system. The Chinese TTS does not depend on the Chinese OS, therefore, it can be used directly with UniText for the Chinese reading without language kit. Click to download the Chinese TTS software from Apple.

2) Internet Config (IC):

    If your Mac is linked to internet, UniText  supports command clicking of URLs using Internet Config (version 1.1 or newer), which you can download from here .

    Internet Config is a system extension to hold information such as your e-mail address, helpers, internet clients, etc. Application supporting Internet Config includes Anarchie, Fetch, NewsWatcher, etc. Other URL such as telnet, http, can also be launched directly by command clicking on the URLs.

3) Custom Input Method:

    UniText comes with its own Chinese/Japanese/Korean input method modules. You can disable the input method by setting the "Use Custom Input Method" check box in the Preference->Features option. With this option checked, the custom input method will used even if you have Apple's LK input method installed in your system.
    If you are a Roman script language user, or you only want to use Apple's Text Service Manager (TSM) component, set the Features option as follows:
 

    If you are going to use Chinese/Japanese/Korean custom input method, even though Apple's LK is already installed, set the Features option as follow:
 

    Korean user should uncheck the "Input with Wildcard" check box.

4) UniText fbit Font Handling:

    For Roman Script Language Users, The UniText application does not need special installation. It is a stand alone Editor for Roman script language. You do not have to use PanALE Utilities if you will never use the Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK) editing features. Make sure the preference is set as following:
 

    For Chinese, Japanese, Korean Users, the UniText comes with four CJK fbit fonts for basic CJK editing and viewing if you decide not to use Worldscript II. Please always use PanALE Utilities for the font installation purpose to avoid possible font conflict. When you do not have Worldscript installed, you need to set the Languages option as following to enable the PanALE fbit font:
 

    You may select to load only one of the languages according to your need by unchecking other languages. This will save you a lot of memory.
    When Worldscript II is installed, UniText will use Worldscript II's ability to handle fbit fonts. The Languages option will all be disabled.
 

    If you would like to install any Apple language kits, you should first use PanALE Utilities to uninstall PanALE, and then do the LK installation, then re-install the PanALE using PanALE Utilities.
