With the introduction of Netscape for OS/2, I will install Merlin in
my office when it is released.

My office runs bilingual systems, currently Japanese and English
versions of Windows 95, which can be a real nightmare to install
together on one system. I use Kanjikit, which allows me also to enter
and read Kanji in English Windows.

I would like to install English OS/2 Merlin only and I am wondering if
any software or solutions exist that will allow me to read and write
Kanji in English OS/2? If not, is there any problem with installing
both a Japanese and English version of OS/2 on the same system using
the boot manager?

Any information greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Kyle

1.It is impossible to read and write Japanese on OS/2 native
environment.
2.It may be possible to read and write Japanese on WIN-OS/2
environment.
  There is a Windows Add-on-pack WIN/V. If you install WIN/V on
Windows (US) or WIN-OS/2 (US) and you can read and write
Japanese on Windows or WIN-OS/2. It may be possible to use
NetScape International Version on WIN-OS/2+WIN/V.

I've heard of "WarpMate", which allows us to read and write Chinese,
Korean and Japanese on English OS/2 Warp. Follow this URL:

I hope you report it on fj.os.os2.

"Jlist" may be useful to read Japanese text on US WARP. (No functions to
 write Japanese, a small TEXT viewer including Japanese font)

You can run individual programs that will read/ write Japanese under OS/2. 
For example, I use Hongo Ni's DOS based NJSTAR.  Many other people I think
use JWP, which runs under Windows.  These are both Japanese word processors. 
I use NJSTAR as my alternate editor in Post Road Mailer, which makes it very
easy to read and write Japanese e-mail (except the headers).  For Japanese
WEB site reading, although it's a little slow, there's always SHODOUKA.

Shodouka:

NJSTAR

It's a bit of a work around, but it works fine for me now.

You can run a Japanese version of DOS such as IBM-PCDOS/V 6.3 in
an OS/2 VDM and then run virtually anything Japanese that is
appropriate to this environment.

WIN/V will give a Japanese capability to Windows and this does
work with WIN-OS2 sessions.
