Japanese input is accomplished through a front-end program that turns
romaji (er, roman characters) into the right hiragana, katakana and
kanji. It is an involved process that requires, among other things, a
huge dictionary of all kanji and many vocabulary words. I really
couldn't accept a statement that "a shareware Japanese language kit"
exists and take it seriously without someone who said they had used it
and it was worth using...
