I got the following info from Canon-NeXT in Japan regarding Japanese version of NeXT OS 2.1J. I am very much pleased that Canon/NeXT has priced the Japanese OS at a reasonable level. Although 60,000 yen is still a lot of money ($430 at current exchange rate), it is a great buy for what you get. [If you have any doubt, check out the price for LaserWriter NTX-J.] WHEN: NeXT OS 2.1J is currently scheduled to start shipping in early July. PRICE: Y60,000 (Magneto-Optical Disk, Manuals) This includes two Kanji PS fonts. TERMS: Pre-paid via fund transfer into Canon's account at Fuji Bank. (No credit card orders, apparently) For more info, contact Canon's NeXT marketing division in Kawasaki-shi: Phone: +81-44-549-5295, Fax: +81-44-549-5462 NOTE: No developer/edu discount for 2.1J. They will not provide standard service/support for 2.1J to overseas users (No bug info, update services). --- Izumi Ohzawa [ $@Bg_78^=;(J ] USMail: University of California, 360 Minor Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720 Telephone: (415) 642-6440 Fax: (415) 642-3323 Standard mail: izumi@violet.berkeley.edu NeXTmail: izumi@pinoko.berkeley.edu
