From your description and the fact that it works with Egg, I'm guessing it's a kanji conversion server, much like Canna or Wnn. By the way, when you say it is more accurate than previously used engines, are you referring to all of them (including, say, Wnn7) or only the open source ones? > http://sourceforge.jp/projects/shinji/ > (Unfortunately, English page is still missing.) Looks like there's not much in Japanese either ;-) I was thinking I might offer to translate the documentation, but I guess I'll have to wait a bit for that. Oh, well, it's a new project, so that's okay. Thanks for doing this! -- Matt Gushee Englewood, CO, USA
