  Thank you for your replies. On reading SUNG Seuk Soo's message,
I guessed so and searched MSDN for documentation. Only hit I got is
the ref. for a function in TSF(Text Service Framework). Is Cicero a part
(or an 'instance'??) of TSF or a different name of TSF? It seems like the
former is the case because TSF seems to have much broader coverage than
Cicero. Can you tell me what the earliest version of Windows is which
can work with Cicero or for which Cicero can be deployed? TSF doc. says
it can be redistributable for Windows 98/ME and NT 4/2000. Does it mean
it will be available in a form of update to Windows 98/ME/NT 4/2000?

   Thank you again,
