There is a nice Japanese word processor available for FREE on the
Internet.  I've only used it a little, but it has some very nice features,
and seems very easy to use.  

Its called JWP, and it was written by Stephen Chung.  It was written for
the 386/486 PC Windows environment (386SX not recommended).  To get it, do
the following:

1.  create "jwp" directory on your hard drive:  md jwp

2.  change to jwp directory:  cd jwp

3.  Do "ftp" to either of these sites:
	
	kilroy.jpl.nasa.gov  (type:  cd /pub/misc)
	
	FTP.funet.fi   (type: cd /pub/culture/japan/pc)

4.  Type "bin" (for binary mode). 

5.  Use the "mget" command to download. 
(This will take some time; 30 minutes to an hour when I did it)

6.  Use "pkunzip" version 1.1 (below this version DOES NOT work) or higher to
"uncompress" the files.  You can probably get this on your campus from a
"techie"

7.  Run the "makeini" program

8.  This will set up JWP to run on your computer.  JWP comes with its own
Windows icon.  You will have to set this up manually.  (Refer to Windows
help and/or manual)

(If all this is just too much, you may want to show the above to your
local techie for help.  It's worth the effort though!)
