                      Frequently Asked Questions
                                  in
                        <news:sci.lang.japan>

      The last posted version of the FAQ should be available at
     <ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/japan/language>
                      or a mirror site near you.

     For reasons of a private nature I didn't have  any  time  to
     work on the FAQ.  So, no changes this time around.
