Right, I had done my final test only with emacs-vcs (where it succeeds) but not with emacs (where it fails for both versions 23.4 and 24.2).

yatexj.tex and yahtmlj.tex both declare their charset as "sjis", but seems that this isn't right and confuses Emacs. Looks like it's rather WINDOWS-31J, aka SJIS-WIN, aka CP932. (*sigh* Why can't everyone just use UTF-8?)

Looks like the way to go is along the following lines:
   iconv -f WINDOWS-31J -t UTF-8 yatexj.tex >yatex-ja.tex
   makeinfo yatex-ja.tex

@CJK team, could you please comment if the above makes sense?

I've committed this now.

Please reopen if it's wrong.

Does UTF-8 work with emacs-18?

We don't support any add-on packages with emacs-18.

Is fine here.
