>>Some visiting Japanese statisticians would like to know if there is a Japanese verion of vfp, and if so, if it's possible to do some sort of conversion on a system I developed. The second part sounds pretty hopeless to me, but anyone know anything about this?

>I looked and looked and couldn't find a specific Japanese version of VFP. There are Chinese, etc. but apparently no Japanese. I compiled my exe under plain ol' VFP, American WIN NT and when installed under Japanese Windows, it worked fine(eventualy!) I decided that what ever is needed for Japanese is built into English VFP.

>As far as a conversion, I'd use INTL Toolkit. The only problems I had getting our app to runn properly in Japanese are probably traceable to our 3 1/2 years of mutating the Codebook framework. INTL handles the string and font switching, etc.
Thanks Gary, that's useful info. And as Bret noted, we discussed this here once before, and you probably have answered the question of "why no Japanese on UT?"
