You can get kterm 4.1.2 from: crl.nmsu.edu:pub/misc/kterm-4.1.2.tar.Z [128.123.1.14] export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/kterm-4.1.2.tar.Z [18.30.0.238] kum.kaist.ac.kr:pub/unix/Xstuffs/kterm-4.1.2.tar.Z [137.68.1.65] >Also, information on getting feeds of/reading the fj.* newsgroups >might be handy.

There are a number of sites that have fj.* feeds here in the US. I'll see if I can't dig up the info I have on this. >>So my questions are: >>1) Do you think such posting will be useful? >>2) How often should it be posted?

The best "Japanese and email" related document I have seen (in English) is Ken Lundes "JAPAN.INF" file. This is available at ucdavis.edu:pub/JIS/japan.inf [128.120.2.1] and from crl.nmsu.edu as pub/japanese/japan.inf. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- mleisher@nmsu.edu "I laughed.
