============================== README.TXT ================================ Welcome to the Japanese Text Processing CDROM! This CDROM contains programs and utilities to help process Japanese Texts. Included are 120 megabytes of text files, 74 megabytes for MSDOS, 35 megabytes for Windows, 116 megabytes for Unix, and 192 megabytes from the fj.sources/binaries archives. As an added bonus, there are 17 megabytes of images in JPEG format. ========================================================================== MSDOS Quick Start Change to your CDROM drive and type "view" (without quotes). Example: C:\> D: D:\> view ========================================================================== Note: The MSDOS VIEW program handles Japanese using Jim Breen's JREADER program. The WinVIEW program does not have Japanese support. If you wish to view the Japanese text files on this disc, please use the MSDOS VIEW program. ========================================================================== Here is a list of some important files and directories on the disc. view.exe MSDOS File Browser/Uncompressor 00global.txt Global index of this disc docs/ Documentation regarding these discs docs/view.doc Documentation regarding VIEW.EXE msdos/ Programs for MSDOS windows/ Programs for Windows unix/ Programs for Unix fj/ Files from fj.{binaries,sources} newsgroups texts/ Text files and articles images/ Pictures of Japan and Ukiyo-e images src/ Miscellaneous Source Code install.exe MSDOS Image Viewer Installation Program ========================================================================== MSDOS and MS Windows users: To make browsing the disc easier, we have included the VIEW program for MSDOS and Windows in the root directory of the CDROM. This program allows you to page through the index files, browse through the images on the CDROM, view the documentation and uncompress the program(s) you want onto your hard disk. In order to start up the VIEW program, do one of the following: For MSDOS: just type in VIEW to start to view this document. For Windows: From the Program Manager, choose the RUN option under the FILE menu, then enter "D: VIEW" at the run option bar. (Substitute your CDROM drive letter for "D" if it is different.) ========================================================================== Electronic Product Catalog (MS Windows): To install Walnut Creek CDROM's Electronic Catalog, choose the RUN option from the FILE menu under Window's Program Manager. In the Command Line box, type in d:setup_a (Substitute d with the letter that identifies your CDROM drive if it's different from this example) ========================================================================== Using the 00_INDEX.HTML/00_WIN.HTM files We have included HTMLized index files so the user may use a Web browser to view our disc. In order to view this disc using these HTML files, point your Web browser to the root level HTML file. If you are using Windows, please point your browsers to 00_WIN.HTM. If you are using a Unix system, please point your browsers to 00_INDEX.HTML. For example, in Netscape/Mosaic: 1) Choose File/Open File (or File/Open Local File with Mosaic) 2) Choose your CDROM Drive under "Drives" 3) Select the 00_win.htm/00_index.html file 4) Click on OK The 00_index.htm files have been tested under Netscape 1.1 (Windows, Macintosh, and FreeBSD), Netscape 1.22 (Windows), Mosaic 2.00 (Final Beta), and Microsoft Internet Explorer. ========================================================================== Image viewing: You can view graphics images through the view program. You will find graphics catalog files in each directory on this CDROM. These catalog files contain thumbnail sketches of each of the image files and have filenames in the format 0__CATnn.PCX. ========================================================================== Advanced image viewing using Powerview (the default image viewer.)

He has also graciously allowed Walnut Creek CDROM to use his JREADER program to display the Japanese texts on their CDROMs. He also has a snazzy collection of ukiyo-e pictures also included on this CDROM. Ken Lunde (lunde@ora.com) for his diverse tools to convert, analyze, and otherwise manipulate Japanese encoding schemes. I recommend his "Understanding Japanese Information Processing" as an invaluable reference for anyone wishing to utilize the Japanese language on any computer. Stephen Chung (schung@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au) for his freeware JWP (Japanese Word Processing) program for Windows. JWP is an exemplary program to show that public domain software contains many polished gems that would outshine most commercial pieces of software. Hongbo Ni (hongbo@njstar.com.au) for the terrific NJStar Japanese word processing program for MSDOS. Just to note here: NJStar can process Chinese as well! Take a look on the web site: http://www.njstar.com.au/njstar for more information. Mark Edwards (edwards@macc.wisc.edu) for his MOKE (Mark's Own Kanji Editor) program and other very useful pieces of public domain pieces of software. Dr. David Kahaner (kahaner@cs.titech.ac.jp) for his reports on the Japanese scientific community. He has over 800 text files which total over 19 megabytes on this CDROM alone!

Matthew Johnson (matthew@gemini.bekkoame.or.jp) for his ukiyo-e images and texts. You can visit his web site "The Autumn Garden" (which contains some great Kabuki information) at http://benten.fix.co.jp/people/matt/homepage/title.html. Roger Criss (73543.202@compuserve.com) for his informative "Translation as a Profession" articles. David Leong (wateya@uclink2.berkeley.edu) for his beautiful pictures of Japan.
