INTRODUCTION
NJSTAR is a Japanese word processor for IBM PC and compatibles. It supports
the input, display and printing of Japanese characters on the standard IBM
computers. NJSTAR features a user friendly user interface, very easy to
use. If you want do Japanese word processing or want to learn Japanese on
computer, then NJSTAR is the right software for you.
Many hours of work have gone into the development of NJSTAR, and I
regularly incorporate suggested changes into the product as I am able to.
The only way I can continue to provide products like NJSTAR and to offer
outstanding technical support, is for you to register your copy of NJSTAR.
I like the shareware concept, and I would like to stay a part of it. But I
can do so only through registrations of NJSTAR. Please don't take this the
wrong way - try out NJSTAR for 30 days or so, under no obligation
whatsoever. But if you found it is useful and continue to use it after that
30-day period, please send your bank check of US$79 + 10 (s/h) for your
registration copy to:

About Professional Version:
---------------------------
NJSTAR Professional Version contains all the functions in the basic version
(as in shareware ver), plus a high quality printing program (NJPRINT). The
Pro. version includes print preview, so the user can see the layout before
printing. Dialogue boxes in the Pro version allow setting of printer type,
page layout and the default font and sizes. There are two type of character
styles, Mincho and Gothic. Character sizes can range from 16x16 to 128x128,
all can be mixed in the same line - along with four proportional fonts for
English. The Pro version user can print all odd or even pages(so both sides
of paper can be used), and print Postscript format directly to a Postscript
printer.
There are four configurations for Professional version, the only difference
is the number of 64x64 fonts it includes. Please see PRODUCTS.DOC for more
details, and see ORDER.DOC for ordering information.

===========================================================================
HISTORY OF NJSTAR DEVELOPMENT
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 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 Japanese 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 displayed. 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 overlapping coding space, there could
be some errors. Those errors only occur 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 activated 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 screen saver is disabled.
31/07/92 Improve: NOW mouse works under SVGA 800x600 mode, Special Thanks to
Frank Klemm in Germany 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
10/11/92 Add: NJ24.EXE for modifying 24x24 JIS font: JIS.24
Latest version: Version 2.1j Plus
20/02/93 Add command: <ExInput>[@F2] for selection of all external input
methods, as described below:
b. bushu - Input Japanese by entering it's Radical number (total 214)
c. 4corner - Input Japanese by entering it's four corner code
