[wplug] Japanese Input?

[Damon Ragno]

Does anyone know about Japanese input under linux? I've installed the
task-japanese package for debian, and read a howto that was pretty out
of date with no luck. I'd like for all applications, text editor. But
I'd setting for even mozilla support, so I could just use my Yahoo!
E-mail to send messages in kana.

A while back I came across a packaging system which I believe was
developed at
the University of Chicago or University of Illinois for use originally
with
Unix.  It was created by some of their computer support personnel and
was still
actively supported and under further development at the time.  The stuff
I read
contrasted it with RPM and gave reasons why it was more efficient.  As I
remember, they had conversion scripts or programs too.  This didn't seem
to be
just a quickly thrown together one person dead-end project.  I was able
to find
several discussions and references to it at the time.  Unfortunately
after a
year or so I can't remember its name, and taking a quick look on the web
just
now I couldn't find it.  If I can remember how I came across it, I'll
try again
and let you know.
