IBM XT, AT 286, 386, 486, PS/2 and compatible, laptop and notebooks. 2. At least 500K free RAM 3. EGA/VGA/SuperVGA Monitor 4. At least 2 MB Free Disk space for NJStar Shareware Version 5. At least additional 3 MB free space for Registered Version 6. 9 pin/24 pin EPSON and IBM ProPrinter compatible dot matrix printer, Canon BubbleJet, HP deskjet, HP LaserJet Series and CANON LBP-8/4 II/III Laser Beam Printer. PostScript printer (supported but not required) 7. Mouse (supported but not required) NOTE: 1. 24 dot fonts are not provided on NJStar Shareware Version. 2. Printer drivers for 24 pin, Canon BubbleJet, and HP LaserJet Printer are not provided on NJStar Shareware Version. =========================================================================== INSTALLATION OF NJSTAR The installation procedure depends on how you received the NJStar's distribution files. Here are general guidelines for installing NJStar Shareware Version. 1. Make sure there is enough space at user's harddisk. NJStar shareware version requires more than 1 MB free disk spaces. 2. Create a NJStar subdirectory at user's harddisk. For instance, to install NJStar at C:\NJSTAR, use the following DOS command, C:\> MD NJSTAR 3. Decompressed the distribution package to NJStar subdirectory. FTP or BBS sites, where most users get their distribution files, usually compress the files by various compressing utilities. So the files would have special extension names, such as .ZIP, .ARC, or .ZOO. Please consult user's local system manager for utilities to decompress distribution files. Please watch out at this stage to see if all files are decompressed correctly. If user didn't download files properly, decompressing utilities usually would generate error message for them. 4. Make a subdirectory for NJStar's user files. For instance, to put all NJStar's user file at C:\NJFILES, use the following DOS command, C:\> MD NJFILES 5. Add NJStar's subdirectory name to user's PATH statement so that NJStar can be invoked at any DOS prompt. The PATH statement is usually found at user's AUTOEXEC.BAT file. User may add the following statement to the end of current AUTOEXEC.BAT, PATH = C:\NJSTAR;%PATH% 6. Create Dictionary files using START.BAT, which runs following three command: JAPKANA JAPKANJI EDICT 7. Enter NJStar subdirectory and run NJCONFIG.EXE to modify NJStar if necessary. The DOS commands are, C:\> CD \NJSTAR C:\NJSTAR> NJCONFIG If user doesn't have an Enhance keyboard, that is, 101 keys or more in the keyboard, it is necessary to run this program to let NJStar know that. 8. Run NJStar by entering NJSTAR at NJStar's subdirectory. That is, enter the following DOS commands, C:\> CD \NJSTAR C:\NJSTAR> NJSTAR If user wants to run NJStar outside NJStar's subdirectory, please reboot the computer first so that changes made in step 5 and 6 would take place. NJStar Registered Version is to be installed by an installation program. So here are guidelines for installing NJStar Registered Version. 1. Make a back up copy for NJStar distribution disks. 2. Make sure user's harddisk has at least 2 MB free space. 3. Insert NJStar's first distribution disk at drive A or B, then invoke the installation program according to the following syntax, INSTALL drive_1 drive_2 The drive_1 is A: or B:, where the installation disk located. The drive_2 is the hard disk name, C: or D:. Thus, to install NJStar from drive A: to drive C:, enter the following DOS commands, C:\> A: A:\> INSTALL A: C: 4. The installation program will create a subdirectory, \NJ200, at drive C: or D: at user's choice, for NJStar. Then, it will install files from floppy disk to hard disk. It will prompt user for other disks if necessary. 5. When finishes, the installation program will prompt user to modify user's PATH statement and add an environment variable, NJZK, if necessary. 6. Follow Step 5 and after in the guidelines for installing NJStar Shareware Version listed above. =========================================================================== OTHER PRODUCTS 1.
