Nippon Sun Microsystems Inc will begin shipping the Japanese language version of the SunOS Unix operating system from early next month – four months behind target: with Japanese keyboard and manual, the thing starts at around $780, and is only available for the Sun-3 at present, though a local version of SunOS for the Sparc-based Sun-4 is on the way; many major software houses with applications written or converted for Sun stations now plan to put their software up under the Japanese version of SunOS – but it is not the first, because the Japanese Application Environment, from AT&T Co, has already been implemented by Toshiba Corp on its AS3000 OEM version of the Sun 3; there is also a Japanese developed by Kyoto University that is in the public domain; still Fujitsu Ltd does plan to use Japan SunOS on its G-series line.
