JWP v1.2 - A Japanese Word Processor for Windows


Hardware and Software Requirements
==================================

    JWP is designed to be run on IBM PC and compatible computers under
the Microsoft Windows operating environment, version 3.1 or higher. As a
result, a computer with an 80286 CPU or higher is required.  Although
you can run Windows with 2 MB of RAM in the computer, the minimum
recommended set-up is 4 MB for acceptable performance.

    JWP is very processing-intensive.  A faster computer will greatly
enhance the program's responsiveness.  It is HIGHLY recommended that you
use at least a 33 MHz 80386 or 80486SX computer.  Slower computers may
give annoying delays, especially when working with large paragraphs.



Installing and Running JWP
==========================

    To install JWP, follow the steps outlined below.  I realize that
this installation process is more manual than necessary; however, since
JWP is a freeware project, I do not have the option of bundling a
commercial installer.  Maybe someday I'll write one. . . Meanwhile,
sorry for the inconveniences.

Important:  Make sure you are in DOS and not Windows.  If you are
            currently running Windows, either exit it or run a DOS
            window.  To exit Windows, choose "File Exit" from the
            Program Manager menu.  To run a DOS window, double-click on
            the "DOS Prompt" icon in the "Main" program group.



Installation Steps
==================

Step 1: Create a new directory for JWP.  For example, if you want to
        call the directory C:\JWP, you should type:

            C:  <Return>
            MD \JWP  <Return>

Step 2: Switch to the directory.  For example:

            CD \JWP  <Return>

Step 3: If you have obtained JWP through the Internet, unpack all the
        `zip' files into the new sub-directory.  For example:

            PKUNZIP JWPPROG.ZIP  <Return>
            PKUNZIP JWPFONTS.ZIP <Return>
            PKUNZIP JWPDICT.ZIP  <Return>
                    :
                    :

        If you have obtained JWP on diskettes, copy all the files into
        the new sub- directory.  For example:

            COPY A:*.* <Return>

        for each diskette.

Step 4: Make sure that you have all the files necessary for JWP.  A list
        of all the files can be found at the end of this chapter.  The
        DOS command "DIR/P" will display a list of all the files in the
        current directory.

Step 5: Copy the file CTL3DV2.DLL to your Windows System directory.  In
        many systems, the Windows directory is something like
        C:\WINDOWS.  To copy the file, you should issue a command like:

            COPY  CTL3DV2.DLL  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM  <Return>

        If you already have the file CTL3DV2.DLL in your Windows System
        directory, you should double-check the dates on the two files.
        Use the most recent one.

Step 6: Type the command:

            MAKEINI  <Return>

        This program will create a default initialization file called
        JWP.INI, using the name of the current directory.  Because of
        this, it is critical that you are in the JWP directory when you
        do this.  (In other words, please follow the steps closely)

        You will also be asked to type in the name of the Windows
        directory. MAKEINI will attempt to create the initialization
        file in your Windows directory.

Step 7: If all goes well without errors (Whew!), JWP is ready to run.
        Unlike many commercial Windows programs, JWP does not
        automatically install itself into the Program Manager.  It is
        necessary for you to use the "File New" command and add a
        program item into the appropriate program group. You can now run
        JWP by double-clicking on the JWP icon.

Step 8: It is recommended that you make an "association" of the file
        extension ".JWP" with JWP so that, whenever you double-click on
        a file with a .JWP extension, JWP will automatically be involked
        to edit the file.

        To make an association, first the .JWP file extension must be
        associated in Windows with JWP. This need only be done ONCE and
        is achieved by using the Associate command in the File menu of
        the Windows File Manager. Select a file with the .JWP extension
        and then choose Associate. Use the Browse option in the dialog
        box to find JWP.EXE.

Upgrading from Version 1.1
==========================

    The new files you need are:

        JWP.EXE           JWP version 1.2
        JWP.HLP           New help file
        KINFO.DAT         Jim Breen's KINFO file, version 2.4
        KINFOSTR.IDX      Jim Breen's KINFO index files
        KINFOBSH.IDX
        RADKANJI.DAT      Radical Lookup files
        RADKANJI.IDX
        STROKNJI.DAT
        STROKNJI.IDX
        MAKEINI.EXE       New MAKEINI
        MANUAL.DOC        New User's Manual
        MB.EXE            Mile Bones: A new recreational program
        COPYRGHT.TXT      A file containing copyright notices

o JWP v1.2 has a (very slightly) different file format.  It will read
  all version 1.1 files automatically and templates, but will only save
  as version 1.2 format.

o The MAKEINI.EXE program will create a new JWP.INI initialization file
  and old settings are wiped out.  Make sure you keep a backup copy of
  JWP.INI (in the Windows directory) before you run MAKEINI.EXE.  You
  can merge the changes back in later.

o JWP v1.2 now uses the files from Jim Breen's KINFO files (including
  the index files) unchanged.  The KINFO.DAT and KINFO.IDX files from
  the original JWP distribution are no longer supported.  In the JWP.INI
  initialization file, the original line under the "[File Names]"
  section:

        Kanji Info Index=C:\JWP\KINFO.IDX

  now reads:

        Kanji Info Index (Stroke)=C:\JWP\KINFOSTR.IDX
        Kanji Info Index (Bushu)=C:\JWP\KINFOBSH.IDX

o Starting from version 1.2, JWP templates is placed in a separate
  templates directory, usually a "TEMLATE" subdirectory of the main JWP
  directory.  In the JWP.INI initialization file, the following is added
  to the "[File Names]" section:

        Templates=C:\JWP\TEMPLATE\

  which you can change.  This line is also added by the MAKEINI.EXE program.

o The new "Radical Lookup" method requires four files and a hotkey
  assignment.  They are all stored in the JWP.INI initialization file:

        [File Names]
        Radical Lookup Database (Bushu)=C:\JWP\RADKANJI.DAT
        Radical Lookup Database Index (Bushu)=C:\JWP\RADKANJI.IDX
        Radical Lookup Database (Stroke)=C:\JWP\STROKNJI.DAT
        Radical Lookup Database Index (Stroke)=C:\JWP\STROKNJI.IDX

        [Hot Keys]
        Radical Lookup=^L

o The Microsoft 3D controls library, CTL3D.DLL, is now changed to the
  newest version, CTL3DV2.DLL.  This file must be in the Windows System
  directory.
