Usage of the Korean Phonetic Alphabet on PC Wordprocessing

컴퓨터를 이용한 한글음성문자(KPA)의 활용

The Korean Phonetic Alphabet(KPA) as devised by H. B. Lee on the basis of Han-geul, the Korean Alphabet, was incorporated into the Hangul Word Processor(HWP) 1. $^{*}$ to be used on personal computers. With the upgrading of the HWP software from $1.^{*}$ to more sophisticated versions of $2.^{*}$, $3.^{*}$, etc., it became necessary to convert the HWP $1.^{*}$ KPA into upgraded version. This paper traces the history of the computerized KPA software from the initial version of HWP $1.^{*}$ to the latest one.
