<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Even before the posting below, I had been trying to
persuade the BFI library in London to buy this DVD-Rom, as it was also stiff for
my budget. They said they'd definitely be interested if I could reassure
them on compatibility - apparently many of their older CD-Roms are
unplayable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've had no reply to two emails to Japan, and I wondered
whether anyone on this forum could enlighten us as to its compatibility with
recent versions of Windows, etc., or knows someone who could tell us
?</FONT></DIV>

information Markus.<BR>> <BR>> Had been hoping something more around the
cost of a regular DVD might <BR>> be available as 18,900 yen is a bit
stiff for me.<BR>> <BR>> From my initial search of past discussions
in the KineJapan <BR>> archives, it does not appear that there is a
good source of Japanese <BR>> scripts on the Internet. I will
further search the archives tomorrow.<BR>> <BR>> Best regards,<BR>>
