Introduction

KG or Kanji Guess is a program for aiding in the study of Japanese. KG 
currently has several different types of quizzes to help learn the 
associations between the kanji word, the reading, and the translation. 
KG 1.0 works with a mouse and is the recommended way of using KG, but 
keyboard commands are also available.

KG supports the following graphics adapter: Hercules, EGA, VGA, ATT400.
Super VGA and IBM 8514 are supported automatically using VGA.  KG 1.0 does
not support CGA. KG requires a hard drive or a floppy drive with at least
600k of available space.


1. Installing KG

 Before doing the installation you should read through Section 1 Installation
in the User Reference Guide. The following is a brief description of the
installation.


 Installing KG is fairly easy. The basic steps are as follows.

	mkdir \kg	

	copy \kg kg10dist.exe

	kg10dist

 When the archive is finished unarchiving, be sure to check all the variables
 in the kg.ini file.

4. Registering your copy of KG 1.0

KG  1.0 is ShareWare, meaning that you may test drive KG (give KG
a  trial  test)  and  if you continue to use it you must register
your  copy  by  sending  $30  to KiCompWare. Please support KG by
registering.  KG  is  the result of many long nights, weekend and
vacation  days.  With  out  your  support there can be no further
upgrades to KG.  (The register.me file is provided to make it
easy to register your copy.)


5. Viewing and Printing the KG manual

You may view the KG manual using any ascii browsing program. Please
note that there are Japanese characters embedded in the file. To
see the Japanese characters as well as the ASCII characters use the
view program. (view kg.man)

The KG User Reference Manual was setup to be printed using MOKE's jprint
program version 1.1 (be sure to check the version of Jprint you have before
trying to print kg.man). For best results use a HP Laserjet II or a Epson 
Compatible 24 pin printer. For the HP Laserjet use the following command

 jprint -hr kg.man

for Epson compatible printers use

 jprint -L kg.man

The file has been setup with 46 lines per page (so both commands will 
give satisfactory results.). 

Please note that the dos print program or any other of the widely available
printing programs for dos may or may not successfully print the User Reference
Manual, that is, without the Japanese characters. But for best results use
a program that will also print Japanese characters.


6. Manual Additions

Section 1 kg.ini

KGQscrn

KGQscrn when yes (default) displays the KG 1.0 Kanji Quiz in big letters
on the screen after all returns to the main screen. On slower machines
this may be tedious. Turn it off with 

	KGQscrn    no

Appendix C VIEW

View supports the same graphics adapters that KG does. Hercules, EGA, VGA, and
ATT400 are built into VIEW. View will work with CGA graphics adapters, but the
BGI driver is not supplied.

7. Making a file for Load Random 100

Cut the following batch commands out and put in lesscopy.bat to
get a file suitable for the Load Random 100 function under the file 
menu for kg.

copy less1.kg+less10.kg+less11.kg+less2.kg+less3.kg+less4.kg /b tmp1
copy less5.kg+less6.kg+less7.kg+less8.kg+less9.kg tmp /b lessall.kg
