xpbiff:  fancy biff program under X11 environment, supporting Japanese MIME
extensions

    This port supports Japanese strings in the From and Subject fields.
Please set the LANG enviroment variable to ja_JP.EUC by doing:
        setenv LANG ja_JP.EUC
    There is experimental support for Sun audio.  This port also supports
XPM bitmap files.

known problem:
    (1) HANKAKU-KANA
       Xpbiff dumps core, because code conversion routines jis2euc()
    assumes "the conversion does not makes the string longer".   But
    when converting so-called 'hankaku-kana', this assumption breaks.
Thank you.
