    Has anyone had experience with using Decwindows with "Kanji". If so
    do the Vaxstations with Decwindows work?

|     Sure, VAXstations can run Japanese DECwindows.  No special hardware is
    required, although it may be helpful to get the keycaps with Japanese
    Kana characters on them; otherwise the keyboard is exactly the same as
    the LK201.  However, that's just the first of a series of questions, I
    expect.
    
    Japanese DECwindows requires Japanese VMS (perhaps an obvious
    statement, but perhaps not) and neither product is in the US AQS.  If
    you have a customer who needs Japanese capability, your office should
    be in touch with DEC Japan.

| Let me add to Simon's reply. Japanese DECwindows for both VMS and Ultrix was developed by Asian Base-Systems in Tokyo and Spitbrook and released within three months of the corporate release(s). It provides full support for Kanji in XUI, a Japanese terminal emulator and translated clients. Tim | |||||
