Subject: Where are the Japanese kanji dictionaries?
Date: Wed, 06 Aug 1997 18:04:40 +0900
From: "Stephen J. Turnbull" <turnbull@turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp>

I went looking for the kana-kanji dictionaries for Quail (phonetic-to-
ideographic conversion for Japanese), and couldn't find any files that
looked big enough.  So I tried changing my input method to quail-ja (I
normally use XIM/Canna), and it complained about not finding package 'kkc.
I can't find it either, and it's not in the LEIM tarball for "Budapest".

It's not in the LEIM tarball on ftp.etl.go.jp:/pub/mule, either.  That
tarball is much bigger than the one distributed with XEmacs, because
it contains SKK (but isn't configured to use it---the japanese.el in
that package requires 'kkc too!)  I'm guessing that they've probably
reorganized things for the integration of GNU Emacs and Mule over at
the FSF, but we can't use Quail to input Japanese without it.

Is this a known problem?  I couldn't find it documented anywhere.

I used to know where ETL kept its alpha mules but can't find my
bookmark :-(
