Japanese localization of pppcosts (fwd)

[Dennis McMurchy <denismcm@example.com>]

  Hi,

  Thought some of you might also find this tiny program a gem like I
did.  It keeps a running tally of your time on line and costs in a little
window.  I've sent the author some localizations for Japan, which I 
forward below.  You can pick up the original program at:
     ftp.suse.de/Incoming/pppcosts-0.02.tgz
It's only about 9K.

  Hi,

  Like your pppcosts stuff very much.  It's minimalist and easy to use.
Does exactly what I want (I've had a stopwatch on my modem and a pencil
and paper record till now).

  The Japanese conversion was easy to do.  I'm including the 'ntt-costs.c'
file I made and a patch for 'pppcosts.c' to eliminate the .00 from the
display, which is unnecessary for Japanese yen.  I noticed that if the
line in ntt_costs.c: 
#define COSTS_PER_UNIT 10.
does not have the decimal (period), then there is no display of costs -
it remains 0.00. 

  Anyway, thanks for the great work and hope you'll include the Japanese
stuff in your next distribution!
