In article momma@is.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de (Stefan Momma) writes: %>Will it be made available at some point for anonymous ftp on apple.com %>like the native English versions are ? NO. KanjiTalk is copyrighted by Apple Japan. Apple Japan is not Apple Cupertino. Let's suppose you are in Japan. if you don't have any version of KanjiTalk already, you must pay 70000-yen ( about $466 ) to Apple Japan for getting KanjiTalk 6.0.4. If you have old KanjiTalk, you must pay 7000-yen ( about $46 ) for update fee. Vicious Apple Japan hinder for anonymous ftp like the English versions. Japanese user feel angry about what Apple Japan do. But I don't how to get KanjiTalk through APDA and how much to get it in Ammerica. P.S. I paid 7000-yen for getting KanjiTalk 6.0.4. ;-) --------------------------------------------------------- Hironobu Suzuki Software Research Associates, Inc, Japan.
