Subject: Japanese Language

Does anyone have experience using Japanese on IBM PC's? I've been using
the ATOK (ASCII to Kanji) software on a Toshiba J-3100 (the Japanese
equivalent to the Toshiba 3200 in this country) and am looking for a way
to get the same facilities on a standard IBM PC (or PS/2). Either
hardware based or software based solutions would be of interest, but
must support both the phonetic syllabaries (hiragana and katakana) and
kanji. Ideally, a system that uses ATOK (or similar) interrupt driven
software would be preferred.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Printed source for Low German story _Die Beiden (Beeden ??) Klaas_

Can anyone give details of a printed source for a Low German
story, possibly of Medieval origin, called _Die Beiden (or
possibly Beeden) Klaas_ which may have been a source for Hans
Christian Andersen's _Big Claus and Little Claus_ ?

Could someone repost information about the Gutenberg list? I tried
subscribing through UIUCVME and was told that it didn't exist. Tell
me I wasn't dreaming.

Subject: Support for Hyperarcs?


Are any Humanists aware of any hypermedia systems that support hyperarcs,
i.e., arcs (links) with more than one source and/or more than one
destination? It is common to allow a single point (or region) in a node to
have more than one arc going out of it, but that's not the same as having a
single arc going from one place to, say, two places. For example, suppose
you're reading a document and you notice that paragraph A says something,
but later on, paragraph B says the opposite, and you'd like to link in a
comment node N that points out the contradiction. Then you'd want to
establish an arc that had endpoints at N, A, and B. Do any systems let you
do this kind of thing?
