NEW FTP SITE FOR JAPANESE LANGUAGE SOFTWARE

   The University of Washington Technical Japanese Program is now operating an
anonymous ftp server for Japanese software and information files.  The address
is:
      uesama.tjp.washington.edu       (128.95.202.40)

     We will be using this site to store that latest versions of freeware,
shareware, and demonstration versions of commercial software.  There will also
be information about using Japanese on computers (including Ken Lunde's famous
"JapanInf"), announcements of new products, descriptions of Japanese language
programs around the country, and anything else that might be useful.

Currently we are featuring the following items:

KANJI OF THE DAY - These files from Kurt Stueber
(stueber@vax.mpiz-koeln.mpg.dbp.de) offer one method of daily study of kanji.
Each file contains a kanji (drawn in ascii-graphics), onyomi, kunyomi, a
mnemonic and/or derivation, common compounds, and computer code equivalents.
Currently the first 34 files are available, complete with corrections from
previous postings.  New files will be added periodically as they are updated.
[no japanese software required]

BEGINNING JAPANESE - This software from the University of Minnesota consists of
seventeen lessons in grammatical instruction and drill for students at an
elementary level of Japanese Study.  Two of the lessons are devoted
specifically to mastery of the hiragana and katakana writing systems.
[requires KanjiTalk 6.0.7 or later and HyperCard 2.1 or later]

KEN LUNDE - His latest software is available in /pub/Japanese/KenLunde.  These
are among the most useful utilities available on any platform for working with
Japanese characters.

NEWSAGENT1.24 - A USENET-news reader for the Macintosh capable of handling JIS,
Shift-JIS, or EUC (7- or 8-bit) codes.  The easiest way to read the fj.* groups
on the Macintosh.  [requires KanjiTalk 6.0.5 or later]

SHINBUN -- The standard OPEN LOOK based interface to the USENET news system
that uses the NNTP remote news server for accessing newsgroups and articles.
Handles JIS, Shift-JIS, or EUC (7- or 8-bit) codes in both reading and
composing.  [requires Japanese fonts, front-end processor, and multi-byte
character capabilities].


    Suggestions for further additions (or problems) should be sent to Jon
Wiederspan <jonwd@uwtc.washington.edu>  or may be submitted directly to the
site in /incoming.  Direct submissions should include the name and e-mail
address of the uploader in case of questions.
