Summary: 

>     Implementation of the solution would be proposed by Prof. Hasebe
>     in the last JUS symposium :
> 	o sending and distributing articles : modify /usr/lib/news/sys
> 	  or batcher to pass a filter.
> 	o receiving articles, rnews will be replaced by a simple shell 
> 	  script : exec filter | rnews.honmono

We have a microvax II / Nihongo ultrix and convert all the incoming JIS
news into DEC code files and outgoing DEC code news into JIS articles.
Our basic idea for handling KANJI news articles is the same as Mr.hasebe's.
It is described by the following diagram.

I wrote the kanji conversion filters between JIS code and DEC code
(plus extension for hankaku katakana as in EUC code) called 'jtodec'
and 'dectoj', and made some changes on news system.  If you want to know
the details of changes, please mail to me.
