    I've been working with Korean Windows 98 (1st and, later, 2nd edition)
for several months, and I've had no problems with either system.  They both
allow reading and using han'gul and hanja in almost all my English-language
software (WWW browsers, word processors, spreadsheets, databases, etc.) as
well as Korean-language software (dictionaries and Area Han'gul).  The one
exception was Excel of Office 97, which didn't accept han'gul in worksheet
cells, but that problem seems to have been remedied in Excel of Office 2000.
