THE growth in computer equipment sales in South Korea has been matched by the availability of Korean-language software.
Last week saw the launch of the first Korean version of DOS, by Computer Research Association, at the 7th Computer and Software Exhibition in Seoul.
Many other local exhibitors showed attractive educational products: ''Alphabet'' and ''Famous Stories'' by KBC are IBM-compatible; and for less than HK$1,000, Korea S/W Dist Co Ltd offers a semi-graphic program for children, an English-Korean dictionary and various games.
Samsung, the top electronics company in the country, had an expansive multi-media CD-ROM software catalogue.
One of the products is Passgate, designed for students learning English, German, French or Japanese.
With an eye on environmental matters, the company's 486 SX-25 desktops boast recycled plastic cases, low consumption, and low EMI radiation.
