------------------
KanjiKit runs on NT, although our Japanese professor is discontinuing the
use of it since Microsoft is now giving away (free download) a Japanese
Input Method Editor (IME) program to type in hiragana and katakana when
using Outlook, MS Office 2000 products and Internet Explorer (sending
web-based email messages, for example).  If you go to the Microsoft web site
for updates, http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/, you can click on Product
Updates and choose from a list of several language IMEs to download.

Our Japanese faculty have decided that our old hypercard programs that once
allowed students to review their knowledge of  katakana and hiragana are no
longer suitable.  (Basically: they don't work...So much for OS 9 and
Hypercard)

I am wondering if there are any suggestions for inexpensive Japanese
language software that can run on OS 9 (or NT) that might fill the void.

Thanks.
