You need
MSC5.1 or TurboC 1.5/2.0
MASM or TASM
LINK or TLINK
MS-MAKE, Turbo MAKE, AB-MAKE or GNU MAKE
for compilation.
Installation of binary package
0) Extract files from archive. You need lharc utility. We assume
\tools\hterm is a directory for hterm. Of cource it can be elsewhere.
C> mkdir \tools\hterm
C> cd \tools\hterm
C> lharc x -xm bin26-2.lzh
1) Execute install.bat with install directory. The directory must
appear in PATH. We assume \tools\bin is a binary directory.
install.bat asks some questions to you, then it copies selected
files to \tools\bin.
C> install.bat \tools\bin
There are some useful files in etc directory which are used on
host system. Inspect carefully, then install them on your host.
If you want to use mouse, install it before using hterm.
Compilation of source package
0) Extract files from archive. You need lharc utility.
C> mkdir \tools\hterm
C> cd \tools\hterm
C> lharc x -xm src26-2.lzh
1) run make.bat in doc direcotry.
2) If you plan to compile hterm with TurboC, modify link/*.tkl
which are tlink response file including absolute path to
library files.
3) Execute compile.bat. After asking of your machine, compiler and
configuration options, this program produces;
hterm.exe
hemacs.exe
hkey.exe (PC98 only)
hkeyset.exe (PC98 only)
You can reconfirm configuration options by 'hterm -?'.
4) Execute install.bat.
Example
C> mkdir \tools\hterm
C> cd \tools\hterm
C> lharc x -xm src26-2.lzh
C> cd doc
C> make.bat
C> cd ..
C> compile.bat
C> cd \tools\hterm
C> install.bat \tools\bin
Invocation of hterm
1) If you are using IBM-PC, set type of your video card to
an environment variable. e.g.,
C> CGA=1 (CGA)
C> set EGA=1 (EGA, default)
C> set VGA=1 (VGA)
You need EGA or VGA to display Japanese.
2) If you intend to use mouse, install mouse device driver. No device
driver is required for serial ports.
3) type just 'hterm'. 'hterm -?' will displays command line options.
If you use IBM PC + DOS J4.0/V + VGA, 'hterm -B' (BIOS mode) allows
you to use Japanese Environment of DOS J4.0/V. (CAUTION! not tested)
If you use IBM PC without DOS J4.0/V, 'hterm -f' (Soft Font mode) allows
you to display Japanese Characters.
See manual for detail.
IF you use windows3.0, hterm runs within fancy window. Since install.bat
program has copyed hterm.pif file with hterm.exe, 'hterm' will make
window for hterm. Note that according to my experience, soft font mode
and ICO Screen Saver can't be used within window. Maybe I missed
settings of windows.
C> hterm VRAM direct access mode or load mode from Set-Up file.
C> hterm -f Soft Font mode
C> hterm -B on DOS J4.0/V
C> hterm -? displays command line help
CRT access mode CRT mode Video card Japanese

-f option hterm Soft Font 640x350 EGA, VGA Available (no input)
-f and -B N.A.
(*1 VRAM Direct access or load mode from set-up file if exists)
doc/amanual.doc is an English manual. doc/jmanual.doc is a Japanese manual.
Termination of hterm
Type STOP key on PC9801/PC98XA.
Type ALT-F10 on IBM-PC/AX/J3100.
Notes
Please take attention for using of set-up file built by older
version of hterm. In such case hterm displays warning message.
If you are using IBM-PC, service software hemacs.exe is useful
to examine a file in Japanese. hemacs.exe can be used as 'more' or
'emacs'.
Koichi Mori's MSKK is a Japanese front end processor which is
designed to convert roma-ji to Japanese character on hterm and hemacs.
Since MSKK is under construction, currently only roma-ji to kana
conversion is supported.
MSKK is not configured in hterm in binary package. If you want to try
MSKK, run compile.bat to rebuilt hterm with MSKK. I strongly desire
someone finish Mori's work by writing kana to kanji conversion part.
Another way to input Japanese on your PC is MOKE. MOKE is a vi like
Japanese editor with kana kanji conversion facility.
Free MOKE1.1 is available from terminator.cc.umich.edu through anonymous
FTP.
I recommend to use Nemacs (Nihongo GNU emacs) and WNN system for
another editing tool. WNN is available from distribution package
of X window system release 4.
JUNET is a network system which has lots of active news groups in
Japan. News groups are called 'fj.*.*' eg. fj.comp.music. fj is
available from NNTP server at tansei.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp.
Stanford and CMU also serve fj. We have good news reader 'gnus.el'
used with Nemacs. Of course it treats Japanese very well. You can
obtain gnus from Free Software Foundation.
Please try and enjoy fj!
Graphics on IBMPC, J3100 and AX is under beta test.
