Seconded. That's one of the reasons why I didn't install the JE
stuff here lately. The one time I tried it caused all sorts of
trouble, ezinstall didn't install anything and in the end I was
left with a sick installation. Looking at the code was quite a
shock: the code was rather "write only read never" if you know
what I mean - with sparse comments in Japanese. Great ! If you
have trouble getting the tools to display Japanese working this
is especially helpful and leaves you out in the rain. Nice
Catch-22 I'd call that. VERY smart and well thought !
