Must have been the QNX version of the Internet. :-)

Just FWIW, Japanese customs officials were routinely scanning
videotapes and CD-ROMs in accompanied baggage as recently as three
years ago. From the customs officer's point of view, why should a
hard drive be different from any another type of magnetic storage
medium?

ObXy: Thanks to a pointer from another XyList member to a nifty TSR,
I've managed to get XyWrite III+ running under Japanese PC-DOS 7.0 to
handle Japanese text, with some limitations. Has anyone ever been
able to get XyWrite running under DBCS version of OS/2 to do the same?
Can Nota Bene do this?
