I would like to obtain the Japanese Feature Package from Sun Microsystems for
Solaris 2.2.  The OLIT 3.2 Reference Manual says that I need a feature package for
every locale which I want to support, and it lists the several that are available
(chapter 4).  However, my local sales representative can't figure out what I'm
talking about.  I had to fax him copies of the manual pages because he isn't
running Solaris 2.2 and therefore can't read its AnswerBook.

Does anyone know the part numbers or other information for the feature
packages?  I specifically need the Japanese package, but information on other
packages would be appreciated.

Without the package, I can upgrade to wide characters and make sure my error
messages are in non-compiled files, but I can't test Japanese characters or input
methods.  I upgraded to Solaris because of the internationalization support it
supposedly offers, but it doesn't do me much good to internationalize if I can't
localize.

Thanks,
Gary
