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: MD \JWP Step 2: Switch to the directory. For example: CD \JWP 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 PKUNZIP JWPFONTS.ZIP PKUNZIP JWPDICT.ZIP : : If you have obtained JWP on diskettes, copy all the files into the new sub- directory. For example: COPY A:*.* 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 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 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. What Files Should I Get in the Package? ======================================= You must have the following files in order to install and run JWP: JWP.EXE JWP program JWP.HLP JWP help file CTL3DV2.DLL DLL to create 3D dialog boxes (Microsoft) MAKEINI.EXE Program to create user initialization file EDICT Jim Breen's Japanese-English dictionary EDICT.JDX Index to EDICT K16X16.F00 16x16 kanji font K24X24.F00 24x24 kanji font K48X48.F00 48x48 kanji font KINFO.DAT Kanji information database KINFOSTR.IDX Index to KINFO.DAT (sorted by stroke counts) KINFOBSH.IDX Index to KINFO.DAT (sorted by bushu's) WNN.DCT Kana-to-kanji conversion dictionary WNN.IDX Index to WNN.DCT RADKANJI.DAT Michael Raine's Radical Lookup Database RADKANJI.IDX Index to RADKANJI.DAT STROKNJI.DAT Michael Raine's Radical Lookup Database STROKNJI.IDX Index to STROKNJI.DAT The following files should come with the JWP package, but they are not critical. If you do not have them, check with the place you obtained the JWP package from.

BTNMAD.DOC Documentation to Button Madness! PUZZLE.EXE Recreational program: Puzzle PUZZLE.HLP Help file for Puzzle MB.EXE Recreational program: Mile Bones The following files may come with your package. They are not part of the standard JWP distribution and are likely to be personal files left over by the previous user from whom you received this package. It is up to you whether to keep them or not. USERDICT.DCT User Kana-to-kanji conversion dictionary CNVCACHE.SAV Kana-to-kanji conversion choices 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.
