Welcome to KDPLUS ver. 3.2/JWRITE ver. 1.6/KJIN ver. 1.5
These programs will enable you to read and write Japanese kanji and
kana text on a DOS-compatible computer and print beautifully on a
laser or dot-matrix printer (and also the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet
500), and to read and write Japanese kanji and kana text online
with Japanese bulletin boards and databases which use Shift-JIS,
Shin-JIS, or JIS (old JIS). The print utilities will correctly
print JIS hankaku katakana.
These programs are easy to use--and they work with Exis Inc.'s
TELIX version 3.12 (and probably version 3.15) and with Vernon D.
Buerg's LIST.COM version 7.5i using the /b switch. Uploaded by
request of the author Jan W. Stumpel, who can be reached on KODAIRA
MESSENGER BBS, Tokyo, Japan, phone 0423-45-8923.

The complete set of programs consists of two self-extracting
archives containing a total of six self-extracting sub-archives as
follows:
KDP32A.EXE -- KDP32EXE.EXE, JWRITE16.EXE and KDP32UP.EXE
KDP32B.EXE -- WNNSJIS.EXE, KDPFNT24.EXE and KDPFONT.EXE
Users upgrading from KDPLUS 3.0/JWRITE 1.5/KJIN 1.0 only need to
download KDP32A.EXE. KJIN ver. 1.5 is in the KDP32EXE.EXE archive.
KDP32UP.EXE consists of three files also contained in KDPFNT24.EXE
and two files also contained in KDPFONT.EXE.

TIPS ON SETTING UP KDPLUS/JWRITE/KJIN ON YOUR COMPUTER
The following tips will help you set up the KDPLUS/JWRITE/KJIN
system on your MS-DOS computer.
1. First, before you run the self-extracting archives contained
in this archive and the other archive, you should create two
directories on your hard drive like this by typing at the DOS
prompt:
md\kdplus
md\kdplus\docs
The first directory is for the programs; the second directory is
for Japanese kanji and kana text files you will be using. You can
choose other names if you wish.
2. It is convenient that your AUTOEXEC.BAT file has a PATH
statement that contains the directory for your KDPLUS\JWRITE\KJIN
files, the directory for your telecommunications program, the
directory for your LIST.COM program, and your C drive's root
directory. For example:
path c:\;c:\kdplus;c:\telix312;c:\util
3. Now, extract all the archives into the KDPLUS directory.
(Users upgrading from KDPLUS 3.0/JWRITE 1.5/KJIN 1.0 may wish to
delete KANJI.CNF to avoid overwriting their previous KANJI.CNF
configuration file.)
4. It is convenient to use batch files to run four usages of these
programs: Japanese telecommunications using EXIS, Inc.'s Telix
3.12 (or 3.15); Read/edit/print Japanese text using Vernon Buerg's
LIST.COM version 7.5i; Create/edit/print Japanese text without
using LIST.COM; and KDPLUS + COMMAND.COM. Batch files are text
files in ASCII you create with any word processor or text editor
program. It is convenient to have the batch files in the root
directory of your C drive (C:\). (If you keep batch files
elsewhere, your PATH statement should contain that directory. If
you don't have these directories in your PATH statement, you may
have to type the directory name before every program name in your
batch file).
a. For Japanese telecommunications using Telix 3.12 (v. 3.15
should also work), put KANJI.CNF into your Telix directory and
X.SLC into your directory of Telix script files and use:
cd\telix312
kdplus -k kjin telix sx.slc ckanji.cnf
Note: The -k switch is optional, and you can edit the KANJI.CNF
file (see the KDPLUS documentation). If your PATH statement does
not kave KDPLUS in it, put KANJI.CNF into your Telix directory and
put X.SLC into your directory of Telix script files and use:
cd\telix312
c:\kdplus\kdplus -k c:\kdplus\kjin telix sx.slc ckanji.cnf
A good name for this batch file is KJIN.BAT.
b. To read Japanese text using KDPLUS and Vernon D. Buerg's
LIST.COM version 7.5i, to edit Japanese text using KDPLUS, LIST.COM
and JWRITE, and to print Japanese text from JWRITE by pressing
ALT-M and typing KPLJ24.EXE (one of the printer programs in the
KDPLUS archives) and then the text file name, try the following
batch file KDLIST.BAT:
cd\kdplus\docs
kdplus -k list.com /b
LIST.COM will then put the \kdplus\docs directory on the screen.
To read a Japanese-language file with KDPLUS and LIST.COM,
highlight the desired file and press the ENTER key. To edit the
highlighted file using JWRITE, press E. However, to make
LIST.COM's E command work, Vernon D. Buerg's documentation for
LIST.COM version 7.5i states that you need another batch file
called EDIT.BAT. Try the following batch file called EDIT.BAT:
jwrite %1
You should put the EDIT.BAT batch file for JWRITE into your
\KDPLUS\DOCS directory, rather than with your other batch files in
your C:\ root directory (or whatever directory you keep your other
batch files in). By putting EDIT.BAT into the \KDPLUS\DOCS
directory, JWRITE will only be used as LIST.COM's editor for
Japanese language files. You may, for example, want to use another
word processing program or text editing program for your English
language files. That second EDIT.BAT file might best be kept with
your other batch files.
c. To create a new Japanese text file using JWRITE, or to edit an
existing text file without using LIST.COM, the following batch file
JTEXT.BAT is useful:
cd\kdplus\docs
kdplus -k jwrite %1
This will bring up the JWRITE screen with no text file name
specified. You can name it later with JWRITE's ALT-S command. If
you want to name the new text file (for example, using the name
NEWFILE.TXT) when you start JWRITE, type:
jtext newfile.txt
To edit a document file that already exists (for example,
OLDFILE.TXT) without using LIST.COM, type:
jtext oldfile.txt
Again, the -k switch is optional. You can also print from JWRITE
in the same manner as stated above using ALT-M and, for example,
KPLJ24.EXE.
d. To try KDPLUS with other programs, use the following
KDPLUS.BAT:
kdplus -k command.com
This will bring up the DOS prompt, but you will be able to see
Japanese text in some programs. You can also print a Japanese
language document using one of the printer programs included with
KDPLUS such as KPLJ24.EXE. Again, the -k switch is optional.
Note: WHEN USING JIS ONLINE, ANSI-BBS TERMINAL EMULATION MUST BE
OFF. USE TTY TERMINAL EMULATION. REMOVE OR DE-ACTIVATE
ANSI.SYS.
