J-Info 2.6 (1997/12/20)
by Yoshimitsu Kanai

<Introduction>
J-Info is a database package based on Japanese original 
culture and system. As Pilot is born in US, there was a 
language "wall" for Japanese users. However, Mr.Tatsuya Yamada
made J-OS, which allows us to handle Japanese in Pilot, and
Pilot became a top level PDA in its price and performace.
For us Japanese, PDA should provide us with Japanese oriented 
informations, e.g. Japanese Holidays or Postal prices. For 
this reason, I intended to let Pilot have the degital Japanese
information, which will overcome against PDAs made in Japan.
As J-Info is a strategic application to attract Japanese who
are thinking to buy new PDAs, I do not charge for it and it
shows Japanese characters and needs J-OS. 

<Functions>
1. MenuBar Clock
2. Japanese Holiday List
3. Postal Price List
4. Day Calculation
5. World Clock
6. Unit Conversion (length, weight, area, volume, temperature)
7. Currency Exchange
8. Internatinal Database

<Distribution>
This manual and all accompanying files may be distributed 
freely, provided that:
1. Neither text nor any other file is modified in any way. No
file may be omitted nor added in the distribution.
2. No money may be charged for the program nor for any 
accompanying files, other than the usual downloading time fees
charged by commercial BBSes and online services.
3. I want to know where my application will be distributed.
Please notify me if it will be included in printed matter, 
floppy, or CD-ROM before its publication. No matter what the
circumstance, I would strongly appreciate a copy of whatever
collection in which it is included. However, I do NOT permit
ASCII corp. (Tokyo, Japan) to include J-Info in their 
publication, in any format.
