- You will need WorldScript II to use Japanese (in addition to the script
- file). WorldScript I is needed for Hebrew. Apple hasn't gotten around to
- distributing these files as yet. Hopefully they will be availble soon as
- language packs. Once they are distributed, System 7.1 will be able to use
- the language properly, provided you have an application which supports
- the technology such as the soon to be released v.3.4.x of Nisus.
