README.eng isn't nothing else than the README of the original archive
translated from japanese to english, some redundance have been left
out, yet the text isn't that clear for those not well acquientesced
with technical japanese processing jargon.
JIS does stand for Japanese Industrial Standard.
Old JIS is the first 1978 version.
New JIS is the second 1983 version.
EUC is the standard code on UNIX.
Shift JIS is MS (guess what MS stand for?) version.
"X compound text" sounds new to me but SHOULD be a standard
under X-Window systems (I'm guessing this, don't take it as true!)
hereafter a more pratical example of how this program works.
EG: kc -s kagami.jis >kagami.sjis
will convert kagami.jis to shift-jis
