CHANGES trivia: earliest occurrence of "CJK":
06-14-96
* Worked in the expanded CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) escape sequence and
Kanji handling from Takuya ASADA's June 11, 1996 Lynx2-5CJK (available in
ftp://ftp.three-a.co.jp/pub/www/lynx). - FM
Earliest occurrence of "Japanese":
03-26-96
* Added "first pass" support for Japanese character translations, based on
patches for Lynx2-4-1 by Takuya Asada (address@hidden).
Is to be checked out by Nelson Henry Eric (address@hidden)
because I have no way to check it here. [...]
