I've seen the NEC msdos micro and some of the laptop Japanese word
processors.  They all have the JIS character set in ROM.  I suppose
the terminals have hardware assist also.  What kinds of software is
available for workstations?  Surely there must be terminal emulators
and word processors for SUN and 386-class systems.  Much of the spread
of computers in the States and Europe was due to public domain editors
and terminal emulators.  Is there such a thing as public domain
Japanese software?  Anything that would run  on the larger systems?
