I'm kind of in up to my eyeballs here and find the learning curve very steep, so I hope I can get some pointers on these questions: 1) I really need to use Japanese in XFree. What do I need to install to do that, and how do I make it work? 2) I also could use a good graphical file manager to use in XFree; can anyone recommend one? 3) What X e-mail clients would you recommend? 4) I have a copy of The Complete FreeBSD; any other good, easy to understand reference books that anyone can recommend would also be most appreciated, as would other recommendations of your favorite UNIX and/or X software. Thanks very much for your help, Jonathan Byrne <e-mail:jonathan@threeweb.ad.jp> Engineering Division - Network Center Threeweb - Your Internet Solution! <URL:http://www.threeweb.ad.jp/> --
