Does anyone knows about the Japanese release of NeXTstep. 2.0? I have heard somewhere that there will be a release, but I know none of the specifics. How does one go about getting it and does it provide full kanji support? Are there any statements about software releases for it? If anyone knows anything about it please e-mail to the address below. Thanks in advance. Doksu Moon '91 Princeton University dmoon@phoenix.princeton.edu

It will be delivered with OD.

I asked if the price in Yen for the 2.0-J upgrade on OD is available, and the marketing person said no. Whether 2.0-J can be available from NeXT in the US is not known yet, apparently. He didn't think there would be any problem for ordering 2.0-J from Canon directly. Of course, it would be a lot easier for us to be able to get 2.0-J from NeXT directly, so I made a clear request that Canon and NeXT set up some way of doing this. (My bank charges $25 for international wire transfer of funds, and a receiving Japanese bank charges 1,500 yen per transfer.) I urge you to make similar requests to NeXT and/or Canon. There are a lot of questions like, how to handle "upgrade" from 2.0 to 2.0-J. It would be nice and reasonable to give some break to those who already have 2.0 OS license. In any case, he said he would fax the details to me when they become available. I will let you know if/when he does. That it will be available soon at all is great news though. All of a sudden, NeXT Laser printer becomes a great Kanji PostScript printer. I bet the combination of NeXTstation ($3200 academic)+ NeXT Laser ($1200? academic) + 2.0-J would beat LaserWriter NTX-J easily in both performance and price. -- Izumi Ohzawa [ $@Bg_78^=;(J ] USMail: University of California, 360 Minor Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720 Telephone: (415) 642-6440 Fax: (415) 642-3323 Internet: izumi@violet.berkeley.edu NeXTmail: izumi@pinoko.berkeley.edu

Isn't Adobe also doing some work to make Postscript more compatible with international languages? I believe that I heard something about it, but...

Well I'm going to Japan for a week next month and will be in contact with Canon in order to do some demos of what I've done on the NeXT in Japan. So feed me the questions you want to ask of Canon while I'm there. I must admit, however, that I've forgotten most of the Japanese language that I used to know since my last visit there nine years ago. (nihon go hanemasen). I doubt I can still count to ten in Japanese. So be gentle with your requests. It is distrubing, however, when I see my Japanese collegues at work with kanji on their Macintosh screens, and not knowing how to do that on my NeXT.
