NJWIN is shareware, you can download a copy free for evaluation. I tried it
and it seemed to work very well. I think it will expire after 30 days unless
you pay up.  there are some other choices such as MVIEW, KDPLUS,
Twinbridge, and Union Way which you can also download free for evaluation.
For more information and links to download from, Check out:

there for useful programs such as NJSTAR which is a Japanese word processor.
        Also, for information about WWW Browsers that can display Japanese,
