Enclosed is a reply I received from a friend who works at AT&T in Japan, after telling him of the above query. ************ AT&T provides support for Japanese language processing through a product called the Japanese Application Environment (JAE), which was developed and licensed through AT&T Unix Pacific, Co., Tokyo, Japan. JAE is a source product, which is licensed in much the same way that UNIX(r) System V is licensed. JAE provides an environment where user application programs can process data that includes Japanese characters. This includes: 1. Entering Japanese characters as data into the system. 2. Processing Japanese characters in pathnames and as data for most commands. 3. Handling output to Japanese terminals and printers. 4. Documentation in Japanese, including: User's Manual, Programmer's manual, and the System Administrator's Reference Manual. AT&T Unix Pacific also licenses a supported source release of the Korn Shell with international capability. There was a demonstration at the AT&T booth at Uniforum of a single system running 4 languages: English, Japanese, Korean, and German. This was done using software that is currently under development. With the appropriate i/o devices, this software will support any language that can use one of the ISO codesets.
