  Hi, I ever asked about Japanese Kanji Code with Postgres.  Here is
one resolution for it.  (I did not know Postgres can save Japanese EUC
at that time. (^^;

  One month ago, I found an article about Postgres in "Computer Today"
magazine(May/1995) in Japan.  Mr. Tatsuo Ishii(SRA) wrote about his
library searching system with Postgres and HTML.

	http://www.sra.co.jp/public/doc/www-computer-today/

He wrote about the Japanese pathch which he posted in fj news group in
the part of "Postgres" in his article.  Unfortunetly I did not have
means to access fj archives, so I mailed to him.  He was kindly to
send the patch for Postgres4.1 to me.  As his patch contains
regex.[ch] from "GNU e?grep version 1.6+multi-byte extension", so you
can search strings with regular expresson in Japanese.

  He updated his patch to Postgres4.2 two weeks later.  I remade
Postgres4.2 with his patch on DEC3000/800AXP OSF/1/Japanese V.1.3 and
check it worked.(regress test was succeeded on it, but failed on OSF/1
V.3.0).  And he also made an patch for Postgres95 according to his
mail most recently arrieved at here.  You can find them in:

	ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/cmd/postgres/

  I also remade Pgbrowse with Japanese patched Tcl/Tk and TclX.  I
checked the Postgres work with this.  The patches for Tcl/Tk was also
made some other person in SRA.  It require kinput2.  I needed to
include the following in init.tcl of pgbrowse.

	"source $tk_library/kinput.tcl"

I found the Tcl/Tk patches in ftp://srawgw.sra.co.jp/pub/lang/tcl/jp.
(It was almost a year ago.  It maybe changed.)

  Thans a lot, Mr.Ishii.
