  I wrote a short note before and forgot to p sign it.  I have a japanese
friend who has a 512K mac and helped him do some research on getting a
true japanese word processor (ie. that supports a few thousand kanji like
the NEC PC-100 that I have at home does - ie. to a japanese a word 
processor without a few thousand kanji is of little practical value and
is more of a toy).  In any case the linguist software is an alternate font
that fits in the space previously defined for other fonts.  As such it
is much smaller a selection than that which is needed.  One could write
notes in kana, but this is not really adequate either.  I am sure that 
there are japanese word processors for the mac in Japan.   I will write
(actually I will go) and find out their names.  They probably are not
distributed here though (there is no market).
