Once one creates the Kanji xterm that came across comp.sources.x, how does one get it to input/output kanji characters? I can cat out the README.j file fine, with lots of Kanji in it, but am baffled about how to type or otherwise create my own Kanji text with it. Clues, hints, suggestions? -Jim Becker jcb@sun.com Standard disclaimers -- I'm doing/saying/thinking/breathing this, not Sun.

I can cat out the README.j file fine, with lots of Kanji in it, but am
baffled about how to type or otherwise create my own Kanji text with
it.
If it's comparable to the kterm that's been around for some time (I haven't
seen it), you can't type Kanji, it's output-only. The efforts that I am aware
of for Kanji input use a separate server process for Kana-Kanji conversion,
that the kterm has to talk to.
Clues, hints, suggestions?
Wait a while? I expect to receive a variety of Kanji support code and
applications from the SIGMA Project's X-Window Japanese Version Working Group
for inclusion in R4 (and conceivably available sooner).dye@laidbak.UUCP (Ken R. Dye ) (06/13/89)

AT&T has a package (Japanese Application Environment) called
JAE which includes a STREAMS based line disipline which can handle
Kanji input; also available is the JIO streams module which adds
dictonary conversion of Kuten numbers or Hiragana mnemonics to Kanji.
It works fine with kterm.
