    Hi, John

    Could you please point me to information on the relationship between JIS X
    0208-1990 (as represented by the kJis0 field in Unihan.txt) and Shift-JIS?
    From looking at Unihan.txt and CP932.txt (from the Microsoft vendor
    directory on unicode.org) I don't see an obvious relationship.

    For example:

    U+4E00 -> 1676 (kJis0) and 0x88EA (cp932)
    U+4E01 -> 3590 (kJis0) and 0x929A (cp932)

    Thanks

    - rick cameron
