- Description:
- ------------
- JCONV-DD is a drag & drop application which performs
- the conversion of JIS, SJIS and EUC files. It
- auto-detects the encoding scheme of the file which was
- dropped.
-
- New In This Version:
- --------------------
- ver.1.5 now allows the default output code settings for
- New-JIS, Shift-JIS, EUC input files so that users do not
- need to specify neither input nor output code once the
- default has been set.
-
- Usage:
- ------
- ** Before start using JCONV-DD version 1.5, users are
- strongly recommended to set up the default behavior for
- the JCONV-DD.
-
- To do so, just double click the JCONV-DD icon while
- pressing control key down until a dialog box appears.
- In the dialog box, you can set the default output
- code for each of JIS, SJIS, and EUC files. You can
- also set the creator code for the output file here.
-
- Once you have done the setup, just drag & drop one or
- more text files onto JCONV-DD. JCONV-DD will automatically
- detect the input code, then converts the file according to
- the rule you have set in the preference dialog.
-
- To override the default behavior, press COMMAND_KEY while
- dropping the files. A dialog comes up and through it,
- you can set up the input and output code as you desire.
-
- You can also change the output file's code by pressing one of
- the modifier keys.
-
- ----------- --------------------------
- Key Output
- ----------- --------------------------
- SHIFT_KEY SHIFT-JIS
- OPTION_KEY EUC
- SPACE_KEY New-JIS
- COMMAND_KEY Specify through dialog
- CONTROL_KEY Setup the preference**
- ----------- --------------------------
-
- ** I strongly recommend you to setup the preference before you
- start using JCONV-DD. It will save a lot of time later.
-
- You must continue pressing the modifier key until the conversion
- of the first file begin. (All the other files will be converted
- to the same code as the first file.)
-
- You can also open the application and select the files from
- Standard File dialog, but it doesn't make much sense,
- does it? The modifier key strategy also works here.
-
- Result:
- -------
- File with the desired encoding: Default is New-JIS.
- The name of the output file will have the extension
- showing its code. e.g., if the original file was
- myfile.txt, then output will be something like
- myfile.new -- New JIS
- myfile.sjs -- Shift JIS
- myfile.euc -- EUC.
- myfile.old -- Old-JIS
- myfile.nec -- NEC-JIS
- myfile.rem -- JIS without ESC code
-
- If you select Check Code Only mode, JCONV-DD will display
- the file's code.
-
- Caution:
- --------
- It has not been tested much.
- *** IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SYSTEMS PRIOR TO SYSTEM 7.0 ***
- If you drop more than 2 files with the same filename except
- the extension (e.g., myfile.txt and myfile.org), it may cause
- an error because both file ends up in the same file name.
- It's just the problem of the file name creation. I am open to
- any suggestions. My present remedy is to add '.' at the end of
- original file names in such cases. I have written a drag&drop
- utility to do this (You can contact me if you want).

-
- Notes:
- ------
- This version of JCONV-DD implements subset of jconv ver.3.0
- by Ken Lunde. I wrote this because, from time to time, I
- had to convert between sjis and jis files. I wanted to do it
- without much interaction. I thought a drag & drop with only
- a few options will be nice.
-
- The features dropped from jconv ver.3.0 are:
- i. JIS/EUC/SJIS table
- ii. verbose mode
-
- Acknowledgement:
- ----------------
- I would like to thank Ken Lunde for making the source of
- jconv freely available. Also, I would like to thank Troy
- Anderson for supplying "File Dropper" application shell
- without any charge.
-
- Asking your favour:
- -------------------
- Although this programme is free, if you liked it and
- decided to use it, you are encouraged to make donations
- to an organization like UNHCR or "Medicines sans Frontieres"
- to help peaople in needs.
-
- You can do it in 3 ways.
-
- 1) Find the organization near your place and donate.
- *** In this case, please send me the name and
- address of the organization to me. I am trying to
- compile a list of such organizations so that
- I can help people to get contact with these
- organizations easier. (In fact, the organization
- need not be for Bosnia. PLEASE STATE EXPLICITLY
- WHAT THE ORGANIZATION IS FOR!)
-
- 2) Donate to the organizations in the attached list.
- (Unfortunately, the document lists only 2 organizations
- and is in Japanese. Please send me more addresses!)
-
- 3) Send cheque or money order to me. Then, it will
- be forwarded to UNHCR in Ottawa.
-
- In any case, please drop me a note to the following.
- If you have an e-mail address, you will get (though
- I do not guarantee)
- 1) Bug report
- 2) Notice of new version release.

- Version History:
- ----------------
- 0.2b The first release [1993.08.26].
- 1.3 The second release [1993.08.31]. New features:
- • Added command mode to specify
- (1) Input Code [New-JIS, Old-JIS, NEC-JIS, EUC, Shift-JIS]
- (2) Output Code [New-JIS, Old-JIS, NEC-JIS, EUC, Shift-JIS]
- (3) Other modes:[JIS-Repair, Delete ESC, Force Delete ESC,
- Hankaku to Zenkaku(To Full Size), Check Code Only]
- • New algorithms which came with jconv ver.3.0.
- [BTW, jconv 3.0 is available from info-mac archive
- in the util directory if I remember correctly. ]
- 1.4b1 The third release [1993.09.07].
- • Disabled the progress bar for the smaller files (<5K).
- • Disabled the "smooth" progress bar for the larger files.
- These are for the sake of speed.
- • Added behavior control mode, i.e., preference setting for
- default behavior of JCONV-DD.
- • Added a modifier key to specify New-JIS for output to
- override the user setting.
-
- 1.4b2 The Second evolution of version 1.4.
- • Changed the specification so that it will truncate the
- filename of the output when it is too long, so that now
- it works even for a very long file name.
-
- 1.4b3 The Third evolution of version 1.4. [1993.09.25]
- • Fixed a bug which caused a crash in System7.0.1 when
- using in Command or preference mode.
-
- 1.4b5 [1993.10.18]
- • Fixed a bug which did not allow it to process more
- than 7 files at a time.
-
- 1.5.0 [1993.10.30]
- • Changed the default behavior control dialog so that it is
- now possible to change the default behavior according to
- the code of the input file.
-
- Future Directions:
- ------------------
- I am thinking of adding the following capabilities in the
- future:
-
- 1) CIS-JIS support.
- 2) In place conversion option.
-
- Other utilities from the same author
- ------------------------------------
- CRLF : Converts file format among UNIX<->Mac<->IBM (well, more
- formally, changes the end of line character among
- LF<->CR<->CRLF) on Drag & Drop. It converts the file
- "in place", i.e., it does not create a new file with another
- extension. Instead of the extension, you will be able to
- figure out the file's format by the icon.
-
- It does not break up the Japanese code like
- some other similar utility does. You can set up the
- default behavior just like JCONV-DD, so you would not need
- the interaction after then.

-
- Phone Dialer: A no frill phone dialer. You input the tag (name) and
- phone number and store it. Phone dialer will play the dialing
- tone from mac's speaker when you choose a number from the
- stored list. It can deal with alpha-numeric phone number like
- 1-800-NBA-DUNK or 1-800-TRY-AVIS.
