Well, of course, there is no "Windows" version of Clipper. If you are talking about Visual Objects, then the answer is that in its
version 1.0 release it did NOT support Japanese. Only time will tell what the future brings.
My company Publishes a product called FiveWin, which provides you with (for all intents and purposes) Clipper for Windows.
I don't know about Japanese specifically, but would guess that it wouldn't be problem based upon the succes we had with
porting it to Chinese.
Maybe you should contact my distributor in Taipai Taiwan, Joseph Wang at Win & Win SoftDistribution.
His internet Email address is j...@hntp2.hinet.net
If you need further contact info, please email me back.
BTW, you can get a fully functional evaluation edition of FiveWin by anonymous FTP from ftp.wgs.com/pub2/wgs/fivewin
The file names are FW16EE.ZIP and FW16BE.ZIP. You can try it out and see how it goes, for free!
While you are at that site, if you have an interest in Clipper & UNIX, check out ftp.wgs.com/pub2/wgs/filelist

I think it may be the same situation.
Clipper DOS version fully compatible with DBCS.
Visual Object in Chinese Windows 3.1 can be run very well.

That's interesting. Thanks for the tip.

VO in Chinese Windows 3.1 needs two small tools (which developed by TAIWAN
local 3 party).
One converts DOS .DBF to ANSI .DBF,
One to fix some keyboard routines to make DBCS input avaiable.
