No need to apologize.  I am trying to make sure all of the pieces
are there for new users, while you are looking at incremental
stability for existing users.  Both are important.

I copied your ja.po.bz2 file to the directory
http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/po. Hope you don't mind. What do you
think about storing bz2 vs. gz vs. plain po text files? I
changed the lynx.pot back to lynx.po since ".pot" caused SLCC
to assume I had a powerpoint template file (shudder).
