Internationalization of computer software is one of the
most important issues in computer science, and some works
have been achieved in JUNET communication software. In
JUNET, electronic mail and news software are designed
to enable ldbit Japanese character handling, based on
the studies and discussions on general computing environment
using Japanese text. The clear separation of network
Kanji code and internal operating system code employed
in JUNET software provides a transparent environment on
Japanese character handling in ‘computer networks. Availability
of Japanese messages obviously encourages users to
exchanges messages over the network.
