Table of Contents ================= 1. What is SKK? 2. Files 3. Installation 4. Personal setting 5. SKK Mailing List 1. What is SKK? =============== SKK is a very fast and efficient Japanese input system written entirely in emacs lisp and runs under Nemacs (which is a Japanese version of GNU Emacs, developed by Mr. Ken'ichi Handa et al.), under Mule (which is a Multi-lingual version of GNU Emacs, also developed by Mr. Ken'ich Hand et al.) and under Demacs (which is a DOS version of GNU Emacs developed by Manabu Higashida and HIRANO Satoshi ). The author of skk.el and other emacs lisp libraries is Masahiko Sato (masahiko@sato.riec.tohoku.ac.jp) and the author of skkserv.c is Yukiyoshi Kameyama (kam@sato.riec.tohoku.ac.jp). SKK is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. ReadMe and SKK.tex explain SKK in more details. 2.

Installation =============== Run Configure.euc in this directory and follow the instructions. If you can become a superuser, then login as root and run the configure file. 4. Personal setting ==================== There are two ways to use the common dictionary (SKK-JISYO.L): (i) Read in the dictionary into an Emacs buffer. (ii) Use the SKK dictionary server. If you will be using the common dictionary by method (i) then follow the steps described in 4.1, and if not, follow the steps described in 4.2. 4.1 --- [i-1] Add the following lines to your .emacs file: (global-set-key "\C-x\C-j" 'skk-mode) (global-set-key "\C-xj" 'skk-auto-fill-mode) (global-set-key "\C-xJ" 'register-to-point) (global-set-key "\C-xt" 'skk-tutorial) (autoload 'skk-mode "skk" nil t) (autoload 'skk-tutorial "skk-tut" nil t) (autoload 'skk-check-jisyo "skk-tools" nil t) (autoload 'skk-merge "skk-tools" nil t) (autoload 'skk-diff "skk-tools" nil t) Moreover, if you are going to run skk under Nemacs or Mule based on Emacs version 18, then add the following lines to .emacs (global-set-key "\C-s" 'skk-isearch-forward) (global-set-key "\C-r" 'skk-isearch-backward) (autoload 'skk-isearch-forward "skk-isearch" nil t) (autoload 'skk-isearch-backward "skk-isearch" nil t) If you are going to run SKK under Mule based on Emacs version 19, then add the following lines to .emacs (autoload 'skk-isearch-mode-setup "skk-isearch" nil t) (autoload 'skk-isearch-mode-cleanup "skk-isearch" nil t) (add-hook 'isearch-mode-hook (function (lambda () (and (boundp 'skk-mode) skk-mode (skk-isearch-mode-setup))))) (add-hook 'isearch-mode-end-hook (function (lambda () (and (boundp 'skk-mode) skk-mode (skk-isearch-mode-cleanup))))) [i-2] Create the file ~/.skk and the put the following line in it: (setq skk-large-jisyo ".../SKK-JISYO.L") where `...' denotes the directory where you installed the common dictionary. 4.2 --- [ii-1] Add the following lines to your .emacs file: (global-set-key "\C-x\C-j" 'skk-mode) (global-set-key "\C-xj" 'skk-auto-fill-mode) (global-set-key "\C-xJ" 'register-to-point) (global-set-key "\C-xt" 'skk-tutorial) (autoload 'skk-mode "skk" nil t) (autoload 'skk-tutorial "skk-tut" nil t) (autoload 'skk-check-jisyo "skk-tools" nil t) (autoload 'skk-merge "skk-tools" nil t) (autoload 'skk-diff "skk-tools" nil t) Moreover, if you are going to run SKK under Nemacs or Mule based on Emacs version 18, then add the following lines to .emacs (global-set-key "\C-s" 'skk-isearch-forward) (global-set-key "\C-r" 'skk-isearch-backward) (autoload 'skk-isearch-forward "skk-isearch" nil t) (autoload 'skk-isearch-backward "skk-isearch" nil t) If you are going to run skk under Mule based on Emacs version 19, then add the following lines to .emacs (autoload 'skk-isearch-mode-setup "skk-isearch" nil t) (autoload 'skk-isearch-mode-cleanup "skk-isearch" nil t) (add-hook 'isearch-mode-hook (function (lambda () (and (boundp 'skk-mode) skk-mode (skk-isearch-mode-setup))))) (add-hook 'isearch-mode-end-hook (function (lambda () (and (boundp 'skk-mode) skk-mode (skk-isearch-mode-cleanup))))) [ii-2] Put the following lines in your .skk file: (setq skk-server-host "...") ;; `...' is the name of the server host (setq skk-serv "/usr/local/soft/nemacs/etc/skkserv") (setq skk-aux-large-jisyo ".../SKK-JISYO.L") ;; ... is the ;; directory where you installed the common dictionary 4.3 --- If you will be using SKK under Demacs, follow the steps in 4.1 and then add the following line in your _emacs file: (setq skk-init-file "~/_skk") 4.4 --- You can learn the usage of SKK by the tutorial program, which you can invoke by typing 'C-x t'. If you wish to use the English tutorial text, put the following line in your .emacs file: (setq skk-tut-file ".../SKK.tut.E") ;; ... is the directory ;; you installed SKK.tut.E 5. SKK Mailing List =================== SKK mailing list has been created to discuss various aspects of SKK, and to exchange information about SKK. Questions and answers to them, problems and solutions to them, bugs and fixes to them, suggestions, contributions of utilities etc. are the main topics so far. Discussions are mainly done in Japanese. If you cannot enter Japanese texts for some reasons, you can send your articles in English, but you will probably get replies in Japanese. We are assuming that you have Nemacs and a terminal which can display Japanese. (1) To join the mailing list, send an email to the following address. skk-join@sato.riec.tohoku.ac.jp (2) Contributions to the list should be sent to: skk@sato.riec.tohoku.ac.jp (Articles in Japanese must be encoded in JIS.) (3) To leave the mailing list, send an email to the following address. skk-leave@sato.riec.tohoku.ac.jp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Masahiko Sato (masahiko@sato.riec.tohoku.ac.jp) and Yukiyoshi Kameyama (kam@sato.riec.tohoku.ac.jp) Research Institute of Electircal Communication Tohoku University 2-1-1, Katahira, Aoba-ku Sendai 980 Japan
