I don't have much experience of XEmacs, but I suppose that user can type Japanese in XEmacs (with only Mule) using skk related packages. # Or can not ? > I understand that Canna, Wnn, kwnn, Egg, Xim, and those things are > for Asian languages...

Sorry, I can not understand, but,,, may be "ro-ma ji input" is phonetic method. There are also "kana input", and it is another phenetic (in Japanese, but not in English) method. There are also complete no phonetic input method (like T-code) for Japanese, I think. # sorry, I can not explain well. > Anyway, please try and give me whatever info yous think I'll need to > provide a working set of Mule packages for yous.

He is the maintainer of skk related packages. or [EMAIL PROTECTED], he is XEmacs specialist in Debian JP. Thanks. -- Taketoshi Sano: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
