  Yeah, Steve is right.  It's a commercial product.  I can't remember
now if Wnn 4.2 Japanese compiled Ok or not on my machine, but Wnn4.2
Japanese binaries are in the Slackware 3.1 JE set.  I have successfully
compiled and run the Wnn 4.2 Chinese stuff, so that is possible at least.
I haven't tried the Korean stuff at all.

  Most Linux books in the vernacular seem very Canna-oriented.  I'm not
sure why.  Does anyone know?  Anyone seen good comparison of Wnn vs. 
Canna.  I remember Steve saying he thought Wnn was a memory hog.
