You read the bible, CJRandall <col...@shieldwolf.demon.co.uk>?  Well
there's this little passage I got memorized: 

>[][ hi Filicia ... alas this is what i get !?!?!?

	Hmmm...I got the same type of thing :(  I emailed her,
hopfully I'll get a clearer idea from her response. 

>can you tell me what extra bits i've got to bolt onto my machine
>to see it the way you do ?
>plus ... can you translate/tell me what 'katakana' means in English ?

	Katakana is one of the 3 Japanese alphabets and is mainly used
to phonitcally translate foriegn words & names.  For example, the four
mora (letters) I posted attempted to translate the English name
"Critter" into their Japanese counterpart: "Kuritaa"
	Another example: your name, Colin, would end up becoming
"Corin," and the kana would look something like this:
