This is NOT Japanese word processor but Japanese front end processor. This make it possible to treat KANJI on English standard system. While Japanese word processors require "Kanji Talk" (Japanese System) and Kanji font ROM. All Macintoshes sold in Japan have Kanji font ROM. Latest version Kanji Talk requires memories more than 2M bytes and Hard disk! :-) Moreover some softwares from US will not run on Kanji Talk because of uncompatibality. Sweet Jam requires 1MB RAM and a 800K disk at least, 2MB RAM and HD more than 20MB are recommended. With Sweet Jam, you can treat Kanji on many software such as MacWrite, MacDraw, Excel, etc. BTW, we Japanese are always sufferd from disk space for Kanji font files. Do you know LaserWriter NTX-J has 40MB HD to keep outlined Kanji fonts? :) Shige (Shigeya Tanabe, Univ. of Tokyo)
