We, Linuxers in Japan, use NEmacs (Nihongo Emacs; a GNU-Emacs
derivative) to process Japanese as well as English. Also, there is a
beta-state software called Mule (Multi-lingal Editor; an extended
version of GNU-Emacs) that can handle many languages (English,
Japanese, Chinese, German, Finnish, ...) in the same file. It uses
slightly extended ISO-2022 coding to switch between character sets.
Development and maintenance of NEmacs is terminated in version 3.3.2
(based on Emacs 18.55) and authors are now concentrating on Mule.
The NEmacs binary for linux is on ftp.cs.keio.ac.jp (131.113.35.20) at
directory /pub/os/linux/Japanese.
The source code for NEmacs can be found in many archive sites
including:
athene.uni-paderborn.de /unix/network/news/news/nemacs
haywire.nmsu.edu /pub/misc
etlport.etl.go.jp /pub/nemacs
The source code for Mule is available at:
etlport.etl.go.jp /pub/mule
nic.funet.fi /pub/culture/japan/mirrors/mule
world.std.com /src/gnu/mule
If you have trouble in compiling Mule on Linux, please contact me.
Possible problems are: long file names require extfs, linux patch for
Emacs may fail, etc.

Kterm (kanji xterm), jelvis, and jless also work fine on Linux. But I
suppose Shao wants internationalized software, rathar than localized
ones.
