It's good to see there's Japanese support on the Newton. If I could get
a good J<->E dictionary for the Newton, I wouldn't need my Clie (or
Tungsten C) anymore.

I'll be trying that dictionary out tonight :^)
Thanks for the links!!

p.s. In a package of Newton junk I got of an auction, I got a copy of
UniFEP. I'll fool around with it tonight and see how it works. If
anyone's interested, I'll keep them posted (no pun intended.)
