OK. Mr.Kato's proposal is very nice.
However, I have some complaints......

In article  kato@cs.titech.junet (Akira Kato) writes:

    First, if some terminals can not recogize 'ESC-(-J', they are
    BUGGY terminals. That is, the terminals do not follow JIS code system.
    If someone has such BUGGY terminals, he should say the maker " YOUR
    PRODUCT IS FAIRLY JUNK !!!" , and you should get correct ones from them,
    so I believe.

    Second, the problem " only support ESC-$-@"  is gone away, if net people
    implement the filters as your proposal.

    Snake-Legs: SPACE code is NOT control character.

    Mr.Kato's proposal is quite nice. We should implement such filters and
    news/mail systems as soon as possible.

   No, no. I did not say such at all. Please read my fj.kanji article, once
   more.

   Now SRA is developing a filter program which converts any kanji articles
   written in any code system into SHIFT JIS code one.
   When it will be accomplished, True JIS/Convetional JIS/AT& T Kanji/DEC kanji/
   SHIFT JIS are all acceptable in our sites. That is, incoming " ESC-$-@"  seq'
   will be accepted. O.K.?
