Sorry to bring up a subject which has probably been covered many times. Is there a standard for Japanese (Kanji) charater codes? More importantly, though, is there any good software for doing Kanji display and/or editing (w.p. stuff) that runs on a PC compatible? If there are some good articles for me to look at, I would certainly appreciate a reference. Thanks very much. --- John R. Lupien lupienj@hpwarq.hp.com

I believe several articles have been posted to sci.lang.japan about Kanji on MS-DOS. Perhaps you should try posting your questions there. - -- Erik M. van der Poel erik@sra.co.jp Software Research Associates, Inc., Tokyo, Japan TEL +81-3-3234-2692
