Overview of GMW+Wnn system

A window system, GMW, and a Japanese inputting system, Wnn, have been developed together to serve as flexible and network-extensible infrastructures for building workstation environments, especially with Japanese languages. GMW is an overlapping window system which is intended to support a wide range of graphical workstation environments with a user-friendly interface. It features a clean, high-level and flexible imaging model, as well as extensibility, modifiability, and portability, and is based on a virtual-machine-server-type implementation. Wnn is a highly user-customizable kana-to-kanji conversion system which converts several sentences by one request. In this first Japanese inputting system, all internal structures, including source codes and dictionaries, are completely open to the users. It serves as a flexible and powerful Japanese front-end module for a variety of workstation application software
