[Sumo Utilities :)] Reading and writing Japanese with Windows

[Dale Carlson <drc@oz.net>]

Hi,
In case, like me, you couldn't do much with Abe-san's hint
that "Sanoyama" is "ç*ÉméR", maybe you would be interested in
"JWP". It's a Japanese word processor for Windows. You can
get it at the ftp site-

kilroy.Jpl.Nasa.Gov/pub/misc/jwp-1.3  (no "ftp." in front of that)

or with your browser-

ftp://kilroy.Jpl.Nasa.Gov/pub/misc/jwp-1.3/

as well as other sites.

There are more than a dozen files that you will need to download
and unzip. It's pretty big- like ~17MB.  Installation instructions 
are at-

http://qlink.queensu.ca/~3srf/jwp-port/jwp131.html

It works great. You can copy and paste any EUC or JIS encoded 
text, and it will decode it. There's even a huge dictionary to 
help translate it for you. It will also translate English into 
Japanese (fairly accurately, I'm told :).

Just thought this might be of interest to those who didn't know
about it, even though it's not really about sumo :)

Thanks,
Dale
