- JCONV-DD -- a JIS<->SJIS<->EUC converter
- ========================================
- FILE: JCONV-DD
- ver.: 1.3
- Type: Application
- Author: Natsu Sakimura
- Date: 1993.08.31
- System Requirement: System 7.0 or later
- Distribution: Freeware
-
- Description:
- JCONV-DD is a drag & drop application which performs
- the conversion of JIS, SJIS and EUC files. It
- auto-detects the encoding scheme of the file which was
- dropped.
-
- Version 1.3 is a major upgrade from version 0.2b in
- the sense that
- • It incorporated the ver.3.0 of jconv by Ken Lunde
- • It incorporated most of the options available in
- Ken Lunde's jconv, e.g. Repair-jis.
-
- Usage:
- Just drag & drop one or more text files onto JCONV-DD.
- If you don't press any key while dropping (and a bit of
- time after that,) it will convert to a New-JIS file.
- You can change the output file's code by pressing one of
- the modifier keys or through the command mode.
-
- ----------- --------------------------
- Key Output
- ----------- --------------------------
- SHIFT_KEY SHIFT-JIS
- OPTION_KEY EUC
- COMMAND_KEY Specify through dialog
- ----------- --------------------------
-
- You must continue pressing the modifier key until the conversion
- of the first file begin. (All the other files will be converted
- to the same code as the first file.)
-
- You can also open the application and select the files from
- Standard File dialog, but it doesn't make much sense,
- does it? The modifier key strategy also works here.
-
- Result:
- File with the desired encoding: Default is New-JIS.
- The name of the output file will have the extension
- showing its code. e.g., if the original file was
- myfile.txt, then output will be something like
- myfile.new -- New JIS
- myfile.sjs -- Shift JIS
- myfile.euc -- EUC.
- myfile.old -- Old-JIS
- myfile.nec -- NEC-JIS
- myfile.rem -- JIS without ESC code
- If there is a file with the same name as the default output
- file, JCONV-DD will try to make a new name by putting '-'
- just before the last period.
-
- If you select Check Code Only mode, JCONV-DD will display
- the file's code.
-
- Caution:
- --------
- It has not been tested much.
- *** IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SYSTEMS PRIOR TO SYSTEM 7.0 ***
- If you drop more than 2 files with the same filename except
- the extension (e.g., myfile.txt and myfile.org), it may cause
- an error because both file ends up in the same file name.
- It's just the problem of the file name creation. I am open to
- any suggestions. My present remedy is to add '.' at the end of
- original file names in such cases. I have written a drag&drop
- utility to do this (You can contact me if you want).

- the original packaging, i.e. don't remove any file from the
- package. You must not charge any money for the redistribution
- except for the nominal charge for the disk, etc.
-
- All the files are copyrighted and not in the public domain:
- It is a freeware!
-
- Notes:
- ------
- This version of JCONV-DD implements subset of jconv ver.3.0
- by Ken Lunde. I wrote this because, from time to time, I
- had to convert between sjis and jis files. I wanted to do it
- without much interaction. I thought a drag & drop with only
- a few options will be nice.
-
- The features dropped from jconv ver.3.0 are:
- i. JIS/EUC/SJIS table
- ii. verbose mode
-
- Acknowledgement:
- ----------------
- I would like to thank Ken Lunde for making the source of
- jconv freely available. Also, I would like to thank Troy
- Anderson for supplying "File Dropper" application shell
- without any charge.
-
- Asking your favour:
- -------------------
- If you liked it and decided to use it, please e-mail/ or,
- better yet, send a postcard of your town/city to me. It is
- 1. for my encouragement
- 2. for Statistical tracking
- 3. it's always nice to see other towns^_^.
