You "think"? Well, if you only think you have then you have not.
You would "remember" downloading the 260K microsoft layer for unicode
install, unicows.exe and you would surely remember running it.
<aside>
I may be wrong in my thoughts here, I have never installed MSLU. From
reading the documentation it may appear that it only provides support for
running unicode applications under 16 bit windows. It does *not* provide
these applications (notepad etc).
In any case MSLU does not, AFAICT, provide any input methods, which are
required for entering asian language text (or any other unicode text for
that matter).
</aside>
As for Chinese windows you would most certainly "remember" installing that.
The entire install process is in Chinese.
Just dump windows 98 and move on to XP (which is nothing special, being
simply Windows NT version 5.1).
Cheers
Richard.
