Mmmm, I use (some version of Mosaic) that supports Japanese.
It may well be EUC only, but it is Mosaic and is Japanese.....

I may as well take this opportunity to announce something I've been working
on lately... a WWW interface to edict. It requires no Japanese capabilities
-- all the Japanese text is sent as images.  And you can select rather huge
fonts if you want, so you can *clearly* see those complex characters when
you need to.

I've tried to construct a very "human" interface... I'd expect complete
non-computer types to be able to deal with it. If you're familiar with my
lookup program, this and it are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

It's
        http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/cgi-bin/jdic
and there's a lot of prose to explain things.... just follow your mouse.

Someone else put together their own WWW interface earlier, and apparently
posted about it here, but I'd missed it until after mine was more or less
done. )-:

I've looked at it, and it's quite different from mine, and has some features
that mine doesn't (and vice-versa). The "look and feel" is very
different....  it's amazing to see how different essentially the same thing
turned out to be. Well worth checking out:

I'm sure we'd both appreciate your comments as to what you like or don't
about either.

Enjoy!
