[tlug] oasys -> linux

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

ISSHO just received some floppies from a 
person who wishes to donate some interesting 
lexicological data. Mostly East Asian characters. 
It was produced on a machine running OASYS. 
files look like this: 

823081 Jul 24 21:24 ???6??120.OA2
369541 Jul 24 21:20 bf0ussvu.usa
640 Jul 24 21:24 oasbind.mng
4 Jul 24 19:33 oasys2.pat

It is rumored that doccat and perhaps 
one other package from dehenken.co.jp 
can convert this stuff, but I couldn't 
find a doccat trial version that would 
work. 

Two questions. 
Is there anything out there that can 
handle this conversion?
Is there any way for this person to 
generate the data in a format that is 
more convertible (knowing only that 
he is working with some kind of 
word processing software on oasys 
that can handle mutiple languages, 
e.g., cjkv ?

Thanks!
