Having searched the web for it myself, you can get Canna from
ftp://ftp.nec.co.jp/pub/Canna/ (also see
http://www.nec.co.jp/japanese/product/computer/soft/canna/)

3.5b2 needs a patch to make it work under OSF/1 3.2 (thanks Ueno ! :)

OSF/1 4.0 has a "wnn" manpage, among others (also "Japanese"), that
mention Wnn and also something called dxjim (which i assume is
something for XIM), although since I don't have the japanese bits
installed, all I have is these manpages.

Whereabouts can one find useful non-english fonts ? (ie. enough for
that mule-doc/demo :)

Andrew.
