9. History
1. Introduction
===============
JList is a program which is able to display text files which have
japanese characters (Kana and Kanji) in them. It is distributed as
Freeware - see the License below for details.
Please note that this is the first release of JList. It doesn't offer
many functions right now - all you can do is to display the files.
For this purpose it is however already suited quite well.
Some of the features are:
o Support for files in ASCII, Old-JIS, New-JIS, NEC-JIS, Shift-JIS and
EUC
o Kanji fonts in multiple sizes are supported
o Any OS/2 outline font can be used for the non-japanese characters
o Multi-threaded
o Partial WPS support (file types)
2. System Requirements
======================
o JList runs under OS/2 2.x with Presentation Manager. It has only
been tested with Version 2.11 but should work with 2.0 and above.
o A screen resolution of 800x600 or more is advisable, as at the
standard VGA resolution the characters are quite big.
o You must have the 'emx Runtime Package' installed. If you don't have
it already, you can get it by anonymous FTP for example from:
ftp.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.8.13)
/pub/systems/os2/emx-0.8h/emxrt.zip
ftp.cdrom.com (192.216.191.11)
/os2/2_x/unix/emx08h/emxrt.zip
3. License
==========
JList is Copyright (C) 1994 by Martin Thierer. All rights reserved.
JList is Freeware. If you want to use it, you have to agree to the
following conditions:
o You may use JList free of charge.
o You may copy and distribute JList as long as all files
included in the original archive are distributed and all of
these files are unmodified.
o JList is provided 'as is'. There is NO WARRANTY. You use
JList completly at your own risk. The copyright holder of
JList won't be liable for any damage and/or loss caused by any
function or malfunction of JList.
4. Files
========
The JList package consists of the following files:
jlist.exe executable
jlist.hlp online help
k16x16.f00 kanji font
install.cmd install script
de-inst.cmd de-install script
read.me this file
5. Documentation
================
The documentation for JList is in the online help.
6. Installation
===============
It is assumed that you have already unpacked the JList distribution
archive into any directory (otherwise you probably wouldn't read this
text).
If you want to keep all the files in this directory, you can start
directly with step d in the list below. However, you perhaps
nevertheless have to add this directory to the HELP and PATH
specifications in your CONFIG.SYS file.
WARNING: Please note that the install script for JList SEARCHES
for the files it installes. So you really have to MOVE the files
from the temporary directory where you unpacked them to the
target directory, as otherwise it could happen that the wrong
files are installed.
a. Move JLIST.EXE to a directory of your choice
If you plan to start the program only from the Workplace Shell, the
directory needs not to be in your PATH.
b. Move JLIST.HLP to a directory in your HELP path
c. Move the Kanji Font K16X16.F00 to a directory of your choice
The font is the same as the one that comes with the free Japanese
Word Processor JWP, written by Stephen Chung. If you have this
package already installed, you can just delete the file that comes
with JList and use the one from JWP. Or, better yet, copy the file
over the one in the directory where JWP is installed, as then the
file type 'Kanji Font' is preserved.
d. If you haven't already done so, install the 'emx Runtime Package'
e. Execute the Install-Script INSTALL.CMD
This script performs the following tasks:
1. Creates a program object for JList on the desktop.
2. Adds 'Kanji File' and 'Kanji Font' to the file types known by
the system.
3. Adds an association of the file type 'Kanji File' to JList. This
also creates a Template for this file type in the 'Templates'
folder.
4. Sets the ASCII font for JList to 'Courier'.
5. Searches the file 'k16x16.f00' and sets it as the Kanji font for
JList.
The script tells you which files it uses. You should check that
these are the files you wanted!
If the installation completed with no errors, you should now be able
to start JList with the program object created on the desktop.
7. De-Installation
==================
The script DE-INST.CMD that comes with JList can be used to 'clean up'
a bit, if you don't want to keep JList. It deletes the program object
and the entries in the USER_INI file created by INSTALL.CMD and JList.
It does however NOT delete the files (jlist.exe, jlist.hlp, ...). You
have to do this 'by hand'. It also neither removes the new file types
'Kanji File' and 'Kanji Font' nor the Template for 'Kanji File'.
If the reason why you don't want to use JList is that you didn't like
it, i would grateful if you could send me an email explaining your
complaints.
