I'll try to get back on this later, but I had no problems with
Japanese DOS apps under DOS/V three years ago; I imagine things are a
little better today.  However I don't know to what extent DOSemu has
tracked DOS 6/7.

I know there are xBase emulators for Linux, whether they handle
Japanese or not is another question.  The editor and file manager
issues probably are less important.
