Japanese fep for Xenix

[Earl H. Kinmonth]

When I was in Japan in June, I noticed an advertisement for a Japanese
languge FEP for SCO Xenix.  I contacted the company, a hole in the wall
operation that apparently is SCOs rep in Japan (not the point of this
posting, but any company that entrusts the world's second largest
computer market to such firms is looking for trouble).

As is often the case, this company could write advertising copy faster
than they could write code.  Apparently what they were doing is taking
a FEP written for SUNs and trying to port it to SCO Xenix.  I could get
no more information out of them.  I suspect what they were doing is
trying to port wnn developed at Kyo^to University.

I have the source code for wnn (from the UofT server), but before I
reinvent the wheel and (try to) port it myself, I thought I would ask
for comments, information, etc.  Any and all information on
multi-lingual support for Xenix would be appreciated.

Doubtless there will be some (many?) who will respond to this posting
the way the US auto industry responded to the first Japanese autos in
the 1960s.  On the other hand, I hope that there might be one or two
souls out there who recognize that not all the world wishes to relate
to its computers in American accented ascii.
