I really can't tell the difference, at least not between Linux and
SunOS 4.1.3-JLE.  Except for the fact that everything I haven't
customized wants to speak Japanese....  Of course that could be _why_
I can't tell the difference ;-)

And then, of course, I let the Sun printing utilities drive my tech
staff nuts (although the usual printing problem is a freshman who
managed to send a 1MB Postscript file out as ASCII ;-P ).

So, what _is_ the difference?
