  Security Features

The Browser works together with a secure Web server to give you secure on-line access to Web pages.  The security the Browser supports makes it possible to securely handle credit card and other transactions containing sensitive information over the Internet.  The supported security protocols, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Version 2.0 and Version 3.0, ensure that:

No one can intercept and read the data exchanged between the Browser and the secure Web server, because the information is encrypted.

When you connect to the Web server, you can rest assured that you are truly connecting to the Web server you want.  A required certificate identifies the Web server and provides the information for its unique signature.  Since the signature includes secret information, no one can substitute a dummy Web site to obtain unauthorized information.

The only way the Web server can know your identity is if you provide the information.

Personal
  Personal Tab

This dialog shows all of the personal certificates which are available.  To find out how to display the Personal tab, click here.

A personal certificate is used to identify you when contacting a secure Web site.  The certificate identifies you to the server, and the server in turn will present its own certificate which identifies the owner of the server.  You do not need to have a certificate to access a secure Web site unless the server requires it.

Click here for more information on personal certificates and how to acquire them.

Personal Certificates

This listbox shows all available personal certificates by prefixing them with a checkbox.  If there is no checkbox, that means there is a key pair, but no associated certificate.  You must have a key pair AND a certificate to select an item as a Default Certificate.  When you receive the certificate and add it to the system, a checkbox will appear beside the name.

Create

If you wish to create a new certificate and key pair to use in making secure transactions, press this button.  You will be asked which method you wish to use to request a certificate.  For more information on the supported certificate request methods, click here.

Import...

Use this button to import a certificate which matches an existing key pair already in your database.  Select the file containing the certificate information, and if the certificate matches a key pair in the database, it will be added to the database automatically.

Details...

Press this button to see more information about the selected Personal Certificate.  If there is no certificate, you will get an error message.

Delete

Press this button to delete the selected Personal Certificate, along with its associated key pair.  If the certificate shown refers to a hardware token (e.g., SmartDisk), that certificate cannot be deleted.

Default Certificate

This is the default certificate which will be presented to any Web site which requires a certificate to authorize your request.  The selected certificate is presented automatically to any site which requests it.  If you have no certificate selected, sites which require a certificate will reject the connection.  If you are trying to connect to a site which requires a certificate and it is refusing the connection, you may not have chosen a default certificate or you may need to select a different default.

Certificate Request Site

This is the site which the browser will go to when you press the Create button on this dialog to do an on-line certificate request.  The default site will allow you to request a certificate for use in the browser and other applications, such as Email.  However, the default site may be overridden by changing the certificate request site.  This can be useful on an intranet, for example, in which certificates will be issued for employees via the internal web server.


 SSL Configuration Tab

This dialog allows you to configure the settings for SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).  SSL is used to make secure connections to Web sites which support security.  To find out how to display the SSL Configuration tab, click here.

Secure Sockets Layer version 2 (SSL v2)

Enable SSL v2 Support

Check this box to enable SSL v2 support.  If this box is NOT checked, SSL v2 security will be disabled, and you will not be able to access sites which require SSL v2.

Configure

Press this button to configure the cipher types supported by SSL v2.

Secure Sockets Layer version 3 (SSL v3)

Enable SSL v3 Support

Check this box to enable SSL v3 support.  If this box is NOT checked, SSL v3 security will be disabled, and you will not be able to access sites which require SSL v3.

Configure

Press this button to configure the cipher types supported by SSL v3.


 Certificate Authorities Tab

When you connect to a secure Web site, the site will present a certificate which identifies the owner/operator of the site.  This certificate is signed by an entity which issues certificates, known as a Certificate Authority (CA).  The CA issues certificates and provides some assurance that the certificate is valid and refers to a known person or corporation.  Any documents you receive must be certified by one of the authorities listed.  If the document has been certified by a CA which is not listed here, you will be warned that the document is signed by an unknown authority, and you may reject the document or accept the authority and the document.

This dialog allows you to see all the certificate authorities which the browser knows about.  You may see more information about a particular CA, delete a CA, or import a new CA from a file.  To find out how to display the Certificate Authorities tab, click here.

Supported Certificate Authorities

This list shows all the Certificate Authorities which the browser knows about.  You will be notified automatically if you connect to a server which has a certificate which is not signed by one of these known authorities.

Details...

Press this button to see more information about the selected Certificate Authority.

Delete

Press this button to delete the selected CA.  This option lets you remove a CA, which will prevent connections to sites which use that CA from completing automatically, as they would if the CA was in this list.  Note that once a CA has been deleted, it cannot be restored unless a Web site allows you download the CA information to your machine, or you have a file which contains information about the CA.  In the latter case, the CA information can be imported using the Import button on this dialog.  Generally, you don't want to delete a CA unless that CA is expired.

Please note that some certificates, such as those found on a hardware token (e.g., SmartDisk), cannot be deleted.

Import...

Use this button to import a certificate for a Certificate Authority into the certificate database.  Select the file containing the CA information, and the new certificate will be added to the database.


 Site Certificates Tab

When you connect to a secure Web site, the server must present a certificate which identifies itself.  If there is any problem with that certificate, such as it is expired or it is signed by an unknown Certificate Authority, the certificate is not automatically accepted.  Instead, you will be presented with a dialog informing you of the problem, and you will be asked if you want to accept the certificate anyway.  If you do, the certificate will show up on this dialog, and future attempts to access that site will succeed, since you have stated that you will accept the certificate which the server is presenting.

This dialog allows you to see all the site certificates which the browser knows about.  You may see more information about a particular site certificate, delete a site certificate, or import a new site certificate from a file.  To find out how to display the Site Certificates tab, click here.

Accepted Site Certificates

This is a list of the site certificates which were invalid or unknown, but were accepted in order to access the secure site.

Details...

Press this button to see more information about the selected site certificate.

Delete

Press this button to delete the selected site certificate.  This option lets you remove a site certificate, which will cause future connections to the site which presented that certificate to fail, as the site's certificate will no longer be recognized.  However, you can always add the certificate again next time you visit the site.

Import...

Use this button to import a certificate for a site into the certificate database.  Select the file containing the certificate information, and the new certificate will be added to the database.


 Choose a Certificate Request Method

This dialog lets you select whether you want to use the on-line certificate request method, which will connect you to a selected web site to get a certificate, or if you want to use an off-line certificate request method, which will generate an empty certificate request and allow you to save it to a file.

If you want a certificate for personal use to connect to secure sites on the Internet, you probably want to use the on-line request method.  Selecting this method will connect you to a Web site which will allow you to submit a request for a certificate.  Generally you just need to fill out a form with information about yourself, but you may also be required to pay for the certificate.

If your company will be issuing a certificate to you for use in accessing your internal corporate Web site, you may use either the off-line method or the on-line method.  Your system administrator will tell you which you need to use.  For the off-line method, your certificate request is saved to a file, and you then give that file to your system administrator.  The file contains only the key which was generated while preparing the request.  You do not need to enter any of the personal information normally required to issue a certificate, such as common name, organization, country, etc.  Your system administrator will provide this information for you.  You will then be given a file which contains your certificate, which you may then import into the browser.

Click here for more information on personal certificates and how to acquire them.


 SSL Cipher Configuration

This dialog allows you to configure which cipher types may be used for either SSL v2 or SSL v3.  Cipher types determine what kind of encryption to do, what key size to use, etc.  By default, all cipher types are enabled, but you may enable/disable any of them.  Highlighted cipher types are enabled, and all other items are disabled.

For more information on supported cipher types and encryption algorithms, click here.


 Acquiring a Personal Certificate

A personal certificate can be thought of as a document which identifies who you are.  You can provide this document to Web sites which request it, so that they can then know who you are.  Not all Web sites will require that you present a personal certificate, so you really only need to get one if you need one to access a particular Web site which requires it, you want to send secure Email, etc.

Web sites have their own certificates which identify the owner/operator of the server, and the server always presents this certificate to you whenever you connect to that site.  You can then look at the certificate and determine whether or not you want to trust this site.

Certificates are issued by entities called Certificate Authorities (CAs).  These CAs issue a certificate based on some set of information which uniquely identifies you.  For a very simple certificate, this may just be your name and your Email address.  Such a certificate would be called a low-assurance certificate, since the information provided to obtain the certificate is minimal, and you are not really required to prove that you are the person you claim to be.  A high-assurance certificate may require more proof of who you are, such as a driver's license number or birth certificate.  Such a certificate is much more difficult to obtain and requires you to prove who you are, so consequently it is more valuable as a proof of identity.

There are a number of companies which will issue a certificate to you for a small fee (low-assurance certificates may be available for free).  This certificate can then be used to access Web sites on the Internet which require it.  The process of obtaining a certificate usually includes the following steps:

1.	Supply information about yourself, such as your name, Email address, etc.

2.	Create a key pair.  Before you can request a certificate, you must create a pair of keys, called your public and private keys, which will be unique to your certificate and which are used thereafter to encrypt and decrypt data which you send and receive.  In Tapestry, the key pair is created through a simple wizard which requires that you name the key and assign a password to it.  The password is an additional security measure which ensures that only you can access the key (and its associated certificate) after it has been created.

3.	Generate a certificate request.  This is done internally by the browser.

4.	Send the certificate request to the Web site.

5.	Receive a certificate from the Certificate Authority and add it into your certificate database.  The method of receiving the certificate depends on the CA, but most likely you will be asked to connect back to their Web site to download your certificate.  It is then imported into your certificate database automatically.

To request a certificate using this method, press the Create button on the Personal tab of the Security options dialog and choose the on-line method when asked for a certificate request method.

If you are using Tapestry within your company to access your company's own Web server, then your system administrator may be responsible for issuing certificates.  In this case, you may request the certificate using your company's internal Web server, in which case the procedure would probably be just like the one outlined above.  There is another alternative, however, in which Tapestry generates the certificate request and saves it to a file.  The system administrator would then take the file and use it to create a certificate request for you.  Here are the probable steps in this procedure:

1.	Create a key pair.  To do this, press the Create button on the Personal tab of the Security options dialog and choose the off-line method when asked for a certificate request method.

2.	Generate a certificate request.  The request is generated automatically by the browser and saved to a file which you specify.

3.	Give the certificate request file to your system administrator.

4.	Receive a certificate in a file from your system administrator and add it into your certificate database.   The certificate is added to your database by choosing the Import option on the Personal tab of the Security options dialog.

If you are using Tapestry within your company, your system administrator will tell you if you need a certificate and which method you need to use to get it.  For personal use, you must use the first (on-line) method to acquire a personal certificate.


 Site Certificate Error

This dialog is displayed when you attempt to contact a secure Web site, but the site is presenting a certificate which is not valid for some reason.  This dialog allows you to see the certificate for the site and decide if you want to accept or reject it.  At the top of the dialog will be a statement of the problem, which will most likely be that the site certificate was invalid (perhaps expired) or that the CA which signed the certificate is unknown.

Site Certificate Information

This section shows the details of the certificate which the site has presented, including who issued the certificate and when the certificate expired.  Look at this information to determine if you are willing to trust this certificate and accept it.  If you are only going to browse a site, you can be comfortable accepting the certificate.  You really only need to be concerned about the certificate if you are going to be sending data to the site; for example, filling out an order form.  It might be best not to send confidential data (such as a credit card number) to a server which is presenting an invalid or unknown certificate.

Your options are as follows:

Accept the certificate for this session only.

The certificate will be accepted as a trusted site certificate, but only for this session.  This means that any further access to this site will succeed without any warnings or errors, but only for the duration of this session.  If you exit the application, restart, and access the same site, you will again get an error message.  If you just want to temporarily accept the certificate just to visit the site this one time, and you probably won't be returning, then choose this option.

Accept the certificate permanently.

The certificate will be accepted as a trusted site certificate on a permanent basis.  Even if you exit the application and restart, all future access to the site which presents this certificate will complete without any warnings or errors.  Choose this option if you feel this certificate is valid and you anticipate visiting this site again in future sessions.  Note that you can always remove this certificate from your list of trusted site certificates using the Security options dialog.

Reject this certificate and abort the connection.

If you don't know if you should trust this certificate, or you don't really care to visit the site anyway, choose this option and the certificate will be rejected and the connection will be closed.


 Invalid Certificate Notification

Each time Tapestry starts up, all the site certificates and Certificate Authorities (CAs) in your database are verified to ensure that they are valid.  If any of them are not valid, you will see the "Invalid Certificate Notification" dialog.  This dialog allows you to see the site certificate or CA which is not valid, tells you what the problem is, and asks what you want to do about it.  At the top of the dialog will be a statement of the problem, which most likely will be either that the certificate is pending (its start date has not yet been reached) or that it is expired (its end date has been passed).

Certificate Information

This section shows details about the site certificate or CA, including who issued the certificate, if known.  The start and end dates during which the certificate is considered valid are also shown here.

Your options are:

Delete this certificate from the database

If the certificate is expired, it should probably just be deleted, as it is no longer of any use.  Sites which present this site certificate or use this CA cannot be accessed without requiring verification from the user, but if the certificate is expired, it should no longer be presented by sites anyway.

Mark this certificate as untrusted

Choosing this option will mark the certificate as untrusted, which means that it is still in the database, but you will be warned when you try to access a site which presents this site certificate or uses this CA.  This is the best option for pending certificates, as they will remain in the database and can be marked as trusted when they become valid.

Ignore this problem for now

Choose this option (or press the Cancel button) if you don't want to do anything with the certificate right now.  However, you will see this notification dialog each time you restart the browser until the certificate becomes valid (if it is currently pending) or until you either delete it or mark it as untrusted.


Certificate Information

This dialog shows information about a particular certificate.  This information generally includes information about the subject of the certificate (who it identifies), the issuer of the certificate, and an expiration date.  For Web site certificates, you may use this information to determine whether or not you wish to trust the site.  If you don't trust a site, don't send confidential information, like a credit card number, to that site.


Certificate Details

This dialog shows information about a particular Certificate Authority or site certificate.  For Certificate Authorities, this information tells you who the authority is.  For site certificates, this information generally includes information about the subject of the certificate (who it identifies), the issuer of the certificate, and an expiration date.

For Certificate Authorities and site certificates, you may use this information to determine whether or not you wish to trust the site.  If you don't trust a site, you may disable the Trust setting, which will cause connections to sites which use that CA or site certificate to no longer complete automatically.  Instead, you will be warned whenever you try to connect to such a site.

  Proxy Tab

This tab lets you specify a host on your network to act as a proxy.  A proxy server acts as a firewall when you want to access a Web server.  Instead of connecting directly to a site on the Internet, you connect to the proxy server, and it connects to the site on the Internet for you.  The proxy server sits between your machine and the site to which you want to connect.  This method allows just one machine to make all connections to the Internet rather than having every machine on your network connect directly.  With all Internet access running through just one machine, it is easier to detect and prevent potential security threats, so using a proxy server is considered more secure.  Keep in mind that this is only for Web sites.  This does not support firewalls for FTP, Telnet or any other type of Internet site.

WWW Proxy Server Configuration

The Email application in the SuperTCP family of products supports SMTP.  If you have software that includes Email, the following file is typically installed in your Windows system directory:

c:\windows\system\mapi.dll

If the Email application in the SuperTCP family of products is on your system, the Compose window displays when you select an Electronic mail (mailto) link.


  FTP Integration

An FTP bookmark starts up FTP and fills in the username and password if they are included in the bookmark.  If they aren't included, the default specified on the Options, Preferences, FTP tab are used.

If you have the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) application that comes with the Browser, you can browse and use the authorized directories on the FTP server.

If you don't have the FTP application that comes with the Browser, you can use your own FTP application.

After you click an FTP bookmark, the FTP window displays if you have an FTP application.  The FTP application is separate from the Browser, so no button appears on the Activity Manager Bar after you start an FTP session.  To return to the Browser, minimize or exit the FTP application.

To be used on the Internet, the version of MAPI you are using must support SMTP, as Frontier's implementation does.


  Change Window Configuration

Change Window Configuration changes options for viewing the current Web window.  The options you choose have no effect on any other Web window.  Change Window Configuration is available when you click View, Change Window Configuration or click on the Configure Window button in a Web window.

The Configure Window button looks like this:

The following tabs are available for configuring a Web page:

WWW Layout tab

WWW Options tab

WWW Background tab

WWW Links/Fonts tab


  WWW Layout

The options in this tab define how a Web page looks when it is displayed in the Internet Organizer.

	If you change these settings, the changes only affect new windows, not windows you have already downloaded (not even if you move to another page from the already open windows).
Document margins

Use the documents margins and unit to specify the left and right margins of a Web page.

Left Margin

This identifies the left margin.  For example if you enter 50 and choose a unit of 0.01 inch, the left margin on a Web page is half an inch.

Right Margin

This identifies the right margin.  For example if you enter 50 and choose a unit of 0.01 inch, the right margin on a Web page is half an inch.

Note that these margins apply ONLY to the Web page as it is displayed in Tapestry.  They do not have any effect on Web pages which are printed.

Unit

Use the unit options to define the type of unit used to define the margins on a Web page.

0.01 inch

This option defines the margins in .01 inch increments.  For example, if you enter 50 in the Left Margin and Right Margin fields and click 0.01 inch, your margins are half an inch.

0.01 mm

This option defines the margins in .01 centimeter increments.  For example, if you enter 50 in the Left Margin and Right Margin fields and click 0.01 mm, your margins are half a centimeter.

Check this box to enable word wrapping.  When word wrapping is enabled, text automatically wraps inside the margins you have defined.


  WWW Options

This dialog provides options for displaying images and using an alternate way of handling HTTP bitmaps and forms.

	If you change these settings, the changes only affect new windows, not windows you have already downloaded (not even if you move to another page from the already open windows).
Inline Image Display

Display images

Use this option to display WWW documents together with the associated in-line images.

Don't display images

Use this option to disable the display of in-line images.  The use of this option can make the document display faster, since you are saving the time required to display the in-line images.  Images are omitted from the document and if any alternate text is specified in the document, it will be displayed in place of the images.  Any images for which no alternate text has been specified are replaced by small square buttons.

Compatibility

Some HTTP servers interpret the coordinates of ISMAP images differently than the HTML standard.  In order to be compatible with these server types, the Browser allows you to choose HTML Standard ISMAP compatibility.  The default is non-standard ISMAP since many older HTTP servers accept only non-standard ISMAP coordinates.

Similarly, many browsers don't follow the HTML standard for forms support.  For servers that do follow the standard, you can enable this option.


  WWW Background

This tab lets you choose the color for the background of your Web window.

	If you change these settings, the changes only affect new windows, not windows you have already downloaded (not even if you move to another page from the already open windows).

View Source Code
  Document Source

Click View, Document Source to see the source code associated with a web document.  Seeing the code lets you view the actual HTML (HyperText Markup Language) which was used to create the page.  Knowing how others have implemented HTML can make creating Web pages much easier for you and give you new, exciting ideas!

What is HTML?

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is used as a standard language for creating Web pages.  Because HTML is browser independent, after you create your Web page, people are able to access it no matter what Internet browser they have.  When you use HTML, you are describing the structure of a document.  For example, you might specify one line as being emphasized.  Notice that you are describing the structure of the  text, not its exact formatting.  In one browser, emphasized text may appear as bolded, while another browser may make the text italicized.

Phone Book Window
  CSO Phone Book Window

The CSO Phone Book window is used to retrieve information such as an Email address or phone number for one or more users at a particular site.  You can define search criteria based on one or more fields such as name or alias.  The most common search criterion is name.  The phone book server running at the remote site tries to find the name you specify and return the results of that search to you.

Search Fields

This is a list of all the fields on which the server will allow a search to be performed.  The most common field on which to search is "Name".  Note that some fields are preceded by an asterisk, which indicates that this field is indexed by the server to speed searches.  You can select as many fields to build your search as you wish but at least one indexed field must be selected.

Info

This button is used to get a definition of a particular Search Field.  Select a field from the Search Fields list and click the Info button.  A message box is displayed which gives a brief description of the field or a list of possible values that the field may have.  This description is provided by the server and may not be very informative, especially for more obscure fields.

Clear

Click this button to clear the contents of the Search Criteria list.

Search Criteria

Each time you Select a field and enter a value on which to search, the Search Criteria list will be updated with this new information.  The format of the list is "<field>=<item>, ...".  For example, if you select the "name" field and enter "smith", then select the "email" field and enter "joe@company.com", the Search Criteria will show the following information:

name="joe", email="joe@company.com"

Search

Click this button to start the search.  Note that it is not possible to start a search until one or more Search Criteria have been selected (using the Search button), with at least one of the selected Search Fields being an indexed field.  If both of these conditions have been met, the Search Results window will be cleared so that the server's information can be displayed there and the search will begin.  At this time, the Search button will change to a Stop button, which can be used to abort a search in progress.

Search Results

Responses from the server are displayed in the Search Results window.  If the search was successful, the window is filled with all the matches which the server found based on your selected search criteria.  Most servers also indicate how many matches were found.  If the search is not successful, the Search Results window indicates this as well, and generally states the reason for the failure.  Two common reasons for failure are that the server could not find any entries which matched the given search criteria, or the server found too many matches to return.  In the first case, the Search Results window usually says something like this:

Server reports the following problem(s):

No matches to your query.

In such cases, you can either try different Search Criteria or expand your Search Criteria with more items.

Example

For example, perhaps you need the Email address of a person named Joe Smith, who works at a site running a phone book server.  You connect to the server, and the Search Fields list shows a field called "name".  Highlight this field and click the Select button, then type in "Joe" and press OK.  Now click the Select button again (while you still have the "name" field selected), type "Smith", and click OK.  The Search Criteria list will show the following:

name="Joe", name="Smith"

Now click the Search button.  The results of the search will be shown in the Search Results window.  If Joe Smith is found and has an Email address which the server knows about, it will be displayed.

Notes

The following are some general notes regarding phone book searches:

Search Criteria are ANDed together, which means that in the above example, only entries which contain the name "Joe" AND the name "Smith" will be returned by the server.

Search Criteria are case-insensitive, so it does not matter if you enter "Joe" or "joe" as a search item.

In general, if you are searching for a name and you know the first and last name, you should create two separate Search Criteria, one for the first name, and one for the last name.  In this way, it will not matter whether the server knows a person as "Joe Smith" or "Smith, Joe"; you will find the person either way.

Most servers will only return a limited number of entries in response to a search, in an effort to keep the server from being used to create mailing lists.  Therefore, sometimes the server will return a message which says that it found too many matches to your query.  If this happens, you can try to refine the search further by adding additional Search Criteria using any other information you may have, so that the server will find fewer matches to your query and be able to return the results.

Each server supports its own set of fields, both for use as a Search Criteria and for displaying as the result of a search.  There is no guarantee that a given server will allow searches on a particular field you may need, or that it will return the kind of information you want.  Almost all servers will include such common information as name and email address, but some might not.


  Select

Click this button to choose a particular Search Field as a Search Criterion.  Select a field from the Search Fields list and click the Select button.  You will be prompted to enter the value you want to search for.  Click OK when you are finished; the field name and item will be added to the Search Criteria list.  Note that double-clicking on a field in the Search Fields list is equivalent to clicking the Select button.


  Return

Normally, the server will return a certain set of default information for each entry it finds on a successful search.  You can control what information is displayed by pressing the Results button, which presents you with a new dialog showing the following information:

Fields To Return

Choose one of the three values below to tell the server which fields you want it to return for each entry it finds.

Default Fields Only

When this item is selected, the server will return a predefined set of fields for each entry.  Generally, you should never need to use anything other than the Default fields, since they usually include  the most commonly requested information (such as name, email address, etc.).

All Fields

When this item is selected, the server will return all possible fields for each entry.

Selected Fields Only

When this item is selected, you may choose one or more fields from the list of Fields which may be returned.  In this case, the server will return only the selected fields for each entry.

Fields Which May Be Returned

This is a list of the fields which the server will return for each entry it finds in response to a search.  If the Default fields only or All fields option is selected, this list will indicate which fields the server will return.  If the Selected fields only option is elected, you may select one or more fields yourself.

  Document Encoding

This item allows you to display a dialog where you can see and alter the current document encoding method.  You can get to this option by choosing View, Document Encoding from the menu bar.  The Document Encoding menu item is available only for the Web and text download windows.

	This item is only available in the Japanese-enabled version of the Browser.


  Document Encoding Dialog

	This item is only available in the Japanese-enabled version of the Browser.
This dialog shows the document encoding method which is assumed or was detected for the document which you are viewing.  Using this dialog, you may also change the document encoding method used to display a document.

When documents are retrieved, their encoding method is detected automatically, and they are converted automatically based on the result of the auto-detect.

Because of overlap between encoding methods, the use of non-standard characters in documents, etc., automatic detection can't always function properly, and the document will appear to contain meaningless text.  To fix the file:

1.	Select a different encoding method

2.	Press the Change button.

The document is automatically re-converted, making the text appear properly.

For Japanese encoding, the possible encoding methods are:

JIS

EUC

Shift-JIS (or plain ASCII)

Because Shift-JIS is the native character set in Japanese Windows, documents which are marked as Shift-JIS do not require any code conversion.  These documents may contain Shift-JIS or may be plain ASCII text.  Documents marked as JIS or EUC have already been converted from that character set to Shift-JIS.


  New Gopher Window
