Hello there,
Maybe this is old news but,
I know that some of us tried/ are trying to learn some kana.
And maybe a lot of us are using windows 95 uk/us/eur version
with netscape 2.0 or higher.
I have always wanted to view those japanese sites with some
japanese character sets, but netscape only showed me rubbish.
I could get a copy (orgininal or a real copy, at a moment I
didn't care anymore) because Microsoft in the Netherlands
didn't know of the exsistence of the package and they didn't
want to do any work getting one.
Now, still searching, I found the site of twinbridge at
www.twinbridge.com
The have a shareware version of twinbridge, originally a
wordprocessor to get without costs.
I have download it (for windows 3.1 AND windows 95),
installed it, selected S-JIS japanese encoding and
started Netscape 3.0 beta 5 (should work with other versions
as well, I think).
I tried some japanse site's and:
IT WORKED !!!!!!
and at no costs! No expensive import japanese windows!
I am going to take a lot at some old kana writings :)
I hope this information helps some people.
