I found the following advert in a copy of "The Economist" magazine.
I wrote to the address but I got no response - I hope somebody
has more luck with the advert than I did.

International Education Services invites applications for a one year
assignment in Japan teaching English. Minimum academic requirement is
a Bachelors degree: some work experience desirable. Please submit
current resume to:

                             IES
                      Shin Taiso Building
                    10-7 Degenzaka 2-chome
                 Shibuyo-ku, Tokyo 150 JAPAN
                    Tel : 81-3-3463-5396
                    Fax : 81-3-3463-7089
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that it should be ShibuyA, and not ShibuyO.

But I had more luck with the next address I found in a careers-sheet
from Oxford University. I wrote to the address enclosing a covering letter
and my C.V. (resume). After a couple of weeks I recieved an application
form, which I filled in and returned. After a few more weeks they wrote
back offering me a job. 250,000Yen for a 25 hour week, help with
accomodation etc. They were also going to arranged for the all important
VISA. I think that arranging a VISA for me was dependent on me
sending them a sample of my voice on an audio cassette. Anyway, I decided not
to take the job because of another job opportunity.
The owner (I presume he is also the manager) is called
               KENJI TSUIHIJI
And the address is
              OTA ENGLISH SCHOOL (OES)
                   1303 IIda-Cho
                     Ota-SHI

I hope the information will be of use, and please contact me if
you need anymore info.

 One of the differences that was pointed out to me not that long ago
 was that "odaizi ni" which roughly approximates "take care" in
 English carried the connotation that the person you were referring
 to was sick and that they should take physical care but did not carry the
 larger connotation of `wishing you good fortune' or whatever.

 Can anyone confirm/add more ??

It's a long story, but generally (and somewhat simplistically), reading is
done mostly by the left-brain in most people. This is probably true for
reading kanji as well, though I don't know for certain. There is some
interesting (albeit sad) evidence that kanji and kana use different parts
of the brain. This comes from victims of brain damage incurred in accidents.
Some Japanese have been left with the ability to read and/or write kana but
not kanji, and vice-versa. I can't think of the article where I read about this
off-hand, but I'll try to find it.

I started teaching Japanese at a local college beginning this fall. I am
afraid the Japanese community in the city is not so big, and not
accessible---they are mostly hired by Japanese companies, and they
do not have strong ties with the local community. So far, I have
no contact with them.

On the campus of Rhodes, where I am teaching, there are only a few
Japanese (three female students, one male faculty). I heard that
an association of Japanese residents was founded a while ago, but
I do not know the detail.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Yukara Japanese word processor
Date: 11 Sep 92 16:41:55 GMT
Distribution: fj

This is another update on my continuing mission to explore new life for my
9 pin printer under the reign of DOS/V.

I just received the demo version of _Yukara_ word processor, and it does a
wonderful job. The best part of it is the size of the font. It is 10 point
(I think that's what is called... You know, the size of type writer "elite"
size.) This is half the size of the kanji printout from NanJi Star or Kanji
View, and looks more condensed. It probably is a little too low resolution
for professional correspondence, but what can we expect from a 9 pin printer.
The down side is that more complicated kanji looks cramped.

You can also add boldface, underline, "baikaku (= double size)" attributes to
characters. Yukara also handles "tategaki (vertical)" and "keisen (lines and
boxes)." These perhaps are nothing to write home about if your mother is an
NEC user, but stuck with a 9 pin printer and living in this dearth of DOS/V
info or resources, I'm pleased.

You don't need DOS/V, by the way, to run Yukara. But if you do have DOS/V,
it makes use of DOS/V font files instead of its own. (Way to go!) I got
better results with DOS/V fonts, as they have better resolution on screen,
and when I print, Ascii and Kanji come out together naturally. (The Ascii
letters in the Yukara font file look too small surrounded by kanji.)

I was not impressed with the editing features of the program. I didn't think
the function key mapping was very intuitive. This too will be a personal
opinion, but I was not happy with the kanji henkan either.

I was not able to run the program in background when I launched it from
inside Windows 3.1 (U.S. version). FYI, NanJi Star seems to be happy churning
out printouts in background, while you work in another application.

According to the price list enclosed, the full version of Yukara costs
$520, and the "Mini" version $390. (I'm not clear what the difference is
between these two versions.)

You cannot save documents with this demo version. The enclosed brochure warns
that some of the kanji have been rubbed out in the demo version. I printed out
the list of JIS dai-ichi suijun kanji, and every 3,000 or so kanji came out
all right.

Call Kureo Technology at (604) 433-7115 (They are a B.C., Canada, outfit.),
or fax them at (604) 433-3393.

I originally read about this program in Ken Lunde's japan.inf file (available
via ftp at monu6.cc.monash.edu.au. If you haven't had a chance to take a look
at this file, do so; I've found it *very* informative. Let's hear it for Mr.

>How or where can I get DOS/V, can I FTP it?

since dos/v is a commercial product, you would not normally expect to
find it available via ftp.  if you did, someone would be facing ibm
lawyers soon or later.

you can buy dos/v from ibm dealers in japan and possibly in the us.  in
the uk you can buy it from several companies, but you will pay twice
the japanese price.

I have seen this problem before, I thought i new how to fix it, but what i now do dont work.

I am trying to restart a rgyd slave on a node. running 10.3.5. node has its own llbd and glbd. 
rgyd dont start, get following errors....
bsd4.3-C: /etc/rgyd

I have renamed /sys/registry on this node to see if that helps but it dosent.
                              
I have stopped and restarted both llbd and glbd on this node. same errors.

I have used lb_admin to clean up the daemons.
I have used lb_admin to look at my other glbds, they all look fine.

I know i have missed something simple, but I have missed it.

I hope i do not have to stop and restart all my glbds everywhere?

Chuckles at my dilemma will be understood. Help would be appreciated...:).

I'm interested in knowing if we can print to a postscript printer 
which has an ethernet interface using our current Apollo network 
configuration.  We're using Domain/OS 10.3.5 on DN3/4/5xxx machines as 
well as a few 425T (SYSTYPE=sys5.3, we wouldn't mind changing if need 
be).  All of the machines but one are on the token ring and we do 
have a token ring/ethernet gateway in place. 

Let's say for the sake of argument we purchase an HP IIIsi with an
ethernet interface to service our PCs running LANMAN.  Eventually (as
we turnover the DN machines to HP 700s) our workstation environment will
be able to access the same printers, however I am curious if we can make
use of this feature today.  I know you can setup remote printers in the
BSD environment using printcap files, but those printers are still
hanging off a machine via RS-232 or parallel interface.  What about a
standalone printer?  How do you get to it?

I'd recommend getting the complete external disk system from the 3rd party,
rather than piecing together the HP cabinetry & 3rd party gear. You are
more likely to get a working solution this way (in general).

The DN-10K requires ESDI drives; the others require SCSI drives.
Most SCSI drives will work (if adjusted appropriately) on the 425t/s, so
I'd go with the ones that fit your price/performance/support requirements.
The Seagate Elite 1's and Fujitsu 2652's are higher performing drives in
this category, and the HP 97560 isn't too bad, either.

4 screws are needed to mount disks inside the 425s, cables & screws &
mounts are required for the DN-10K and for the 660D (if you go that way).
Of course, your 3rd party should include these with their products, along
with a handy "How To" manual :-)

>  3.  Should I expect any compatibility problems between the

If there are, then I'd suggest that the 3rd party doesn't really have a
product to sell.

The FAQ list has several vendors listed (but seems to forget about me :-().
