	I already asked it, though implicitly, in vain.  Mark Edwards
is trying to sell MOKE 2.0 and publicizing the source would hurt its
sale.  I guess the source license would be restrictive even if you can
get it.
	Maybe we can think of some alternatives.  Izumi Ohzawa put KD
in the public domain with source, which displays kanji on any IBM
and compatibles.  And there is hterm available from
  azabu.tkl.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp 130.69.16.7
through anonymous ftp, which is a kanji terminal software that works
on EGA/VGA.  The package contains hemacs that enables you to view (and
minimally edit) Japanese text.  Hterm is free but not in the public
domain.  Military use, direct and indirect, is explicitly disallowed.
	I made a program that does Romaji-kana henkan for hemacs a la
SKK.  Maybe someone can add kana-kanji henkan part (I don't have
time).  We can use generic version of MicroEmacs 3.9e (J1.3), though I
do not have the version or the source.

	What is SCO?  Is there a way to screw them again so that I can
get one free?  (just joking, sorry if I offended you :)
