Distribution: comp.sys.amiga.announce Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1993 02:54:03 GMT Lines: 68 Apparently-To: comp-sys-amiga-announce@ames.arc.nasa.gov Status: RO ********* Pre-Announcement of Mailing-list for Kanji-Amiga users ******* All of you who are interested on currents of Japanese-version of Amiga Computers, we are about to start the first Mailing-list directed to the Amiga community in Japan. Problem is, due to the language-barriers between 1 byte-based Alphabet languages and 2 bytes-based Asian languages, at first we are considering this to be circulated only on JUNET(Japan Unix Network) where Kanji-written(Japanese-EUC coded) transactions are standard. In case you have great interest, but don't have the system/knowledge to read Japanese, please E-mail me to the account cited below. If the responses from outside-Japan pass beyond 100, then Japanese<->English translation will be done on all posts. If it doesn't reach 100, then we will dump the translation process and keep this in JUNET only. (Those of you who've subscribed, will get the notification if this will be done or not.) Those who have Japanese-enabled-system installed on your terminal(like ANS for Amiga, KanjiTalk for Mac, JLE for Sun, DOS 5.0-J for PC-Compatibles) can also get the circulations in Kanji-form. WHAT TOPICS WILL BE COVERED?? The topics will cover everything relating to Amiga's circulated here in Japan. If you are a software developer and happen to have interest in Japanese Amiga market, here is your chance. If you work as a Japanese professor and happen to own an Amiga, you'll know how to creat your own Kanji-fonts in ANS. If you work in a computer-graphics production, you'll be surprised how many Amiga-created TV graphics are shown on here in Tokyo. WHEN WILL THIS START?? We are about to get certification from our system manager. Therefore the name of this mailing-list address is not eligible at this time, but it should start running within 1-2 weeks. But like I said before, if requests from outside-Japan don't reach over 100, it won't be cirulated outside the JUNET community and no English translation will be given. No annoucements will made here later on, also. THEN WHERE CAN I SUBSCRIBE?? If you want this to be circulated over Internet w/English translation, send us your Internet address before April 20th, in the following simple form: ------------------------------------------------ To: c88660ts@sfc.keio.ac.jp Re: Kanji-Amiga mailing-list ENGLISH SUBSCRIBE ------------------------------------------------ That's it!!
