The top of the blog page is indeed about running jp win3.1. Below that it  
talks about adding Japanese support to FD. The link is broken but a google  
search turns up working links for fdos0138.exe or fdos0138.lzh. With the  
drivers being loaded in fdconfig.sys it becomes possible to switch between  
standard character-mapped text mode (needed for running FD EDIT, etc.) and  
the VGA mode for running Japanese DOS programs.

The readme file with the disk image seems to say that the license is GPL  
"or" freeware (I am not good enough to parse Japanese legalese), and  
includes an email address for the author minashir...@yahoo.co.jp
