This is useful information.

Also, there is the source for Mule, there are jgawk patches (I don't
use them, I don't know how old); look in the JE distribution.

Finally, there are a few routines for a jgrep by Ken Lunde of Japanese 
Information Processing fame.  Whatever you end up using, I recommend
getting these because they are well-commented.  You can get these from

 ftp://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/linux/packages/Japanese/lunde.tar.gz

(I don't remember where the originals are ... probably anywhere OReilly 
examples can be found.)  That file also includes binaries I made as
well as his jconv and jcode utilities, plus routines for handling Unicode.
