-
- NOTE: above mapping only works under DOS default keyboard (US Keyboard).
- SEE Below -
- 21/05/92
- Add: International keyboard support (any country supported by DOS)
- keyboard driver must be installed before staring NJSTAR, for
- example to install German keyboard.
-
- C:\> keyb gr
-
- NOTE:
- 1. The keyboard mapping of command<keyboard> must be set to
- English(0).
- 2. If the special character is in the range of ASCII:161-254,
- then this char (except char: beta)is ignored since JIS
- code uses ASCII:161-254 to code Japanese two byte character.
-
- 27/05/92
- add: 1. -m option for NJSTAR.exe - for MonoEGA, MonoVGA/MCGA (640x480x2).
- 2. NJSTAR CGA version - NJJCGA.exe - 11 lines display without menu.
- (NJJCGA.EXE is supplied at request, not every one need it)
-
- 31/05/92
- Improve: The line number calculation and display speed is 2 times faster.
- Add: 1. Super VGA display 800x600, support most of SVGA cards. But mouse
- cursor not displayed because some tricky problem not solved yet.
- 2. -s option forcing NJSTAR to run in SVGA 800x600 mode.
- 3. 'V'ideo and keyboard option in NJCONFIG.
- 12/06/92
- Improve: NJSTAR will create AUTOSAVE.NJX in the same directory as
- NJSTAR.EXE, and autosave is only ON if file modified.
-
- 12/06/92
- NJSTAR Now works on EGA, MonoEGA, MonoVGA/MCGA, VGA, XGA, SuperVGA
- (see SUPER.VGA) 800x600 and CGA (NJCGA.EXE) graphics cards.
-
- 16/06/92 ADD: Printer driver CANONLBP.DRV for Canon LBP-8 II and III Laser
- printer. It will probably work on Canon LBP-4, but not tested.
-
- Improve: The space between number and Chinese character on bottom line
- can be configured to be none if the following question is
- answered with a '0' in NJCONFIG's 'G' option.
-
- Enter char displayed after number at bottom line(0 for none)[32]: 0
-
- In above question, user can enter a number for ascii code of a char,
- eg. 44 for '-', or user can enter the character to be displyed. eg. ':'
-
- 26/06/92
- Add: Automatic word wrapping for English/European words.
- Add: ASCII space (32) and Kanji space(EUC:a1a1) is specially displayed
- when End of line is displayed.
-
- 27/06/92
- Add: <SaveShiftJis>[#F6] for save current file in Shift-JIS format.
- New entry added on main menu under 'Output'.
-
- NJSTAR can automatically detect Shift-JIS when loading. But since
- EUC and shift-JIS have some overlaping coding space, there could
- be some errors. Those errors only occure for un-commonly used
- Kanji (>Group 63). So this is not a big problem. If you are sure
- the file is Shift-JIS, than please use option '-j' at NJSTAR's
- command line. For Example:
-
- NJSTAR -j file.sjs
-
- This will eliminate the detection error.
-
- If you are using NJSTAR for European special character
- (Ascii: 128-160), then you better not use Shift-JIS at all,
- since Shift-JIS also use ascii:128-160 for coding. You have to
- turn off NJSTAR's auto detection for Shift-JIS by answering the
- following question in NJCONFIG 'G' option as 'NO',
-
- 'Do you want detect Shift-JIS automatically (Yes/No)?' NO
-
- NJSTAR has the ability to coding European character by using
- EUC internally, but it can not code the characters for drawing
- boxes. On the other hand, Shift-JIS can have box drawing
- character, but it is unable to code European special characters.
- You win some, you lose some.
-
- 23/07/92 Improve: Now <Search> and <SearchReplace> are case insensitive, unless
- search string is terminated by Alt+Enter instead of Enter.
-
-
- 30/07/94 Add: Screen Saver. The interval(in Min.) can be configured in NJCONFIG
- 'G' option. The screen saver can be activiated by place mouse
- cursor on top right corner of the screen (wait 2 seconds). If
- you place mouse cursor on bottom left or bottom right corner of
- the screen, the sacreen saver is disabled.
-
- 31/07/92 Improve: NOW mouse works under SVGA 800x600 mode, Special Thanks to
- Frank Klemm in Genmany for providing mouse display routines.
-
- Add: Command <OpenFile>[^F8], it is same as <EditFile>+F1, Press mouse
- Right button on bottom line will invoke this function. Press
- Middle button on bottom line will get the <QuickHelp> screen.
-
- 06/09/92 Add: Support for half size Kana in shift-JIS, which is commonly used
- in IBM's Japanese DOS/V. To Read ShiftJIS file with half size
- Kana, please use:
- NJSTAR -j filename.ext
