- 1. Introduction
-
- View is a program that will let you view or page through a file in
- either JIS or EUC coded japanese. The new version of View adds the
- ability to display the yomikata of a japanese word along with the
- english translation. The lookup of a word is done by using a new
- jdict file that I have created. The previous version added EUC support
- and added a crude method to lookup the on/kun yomi of individual kanji.
- The lookup of a single kanji is based on the Simple Kana to Kanji
- conversion program's dictionary by masahiko@sato.riec.tohoku.junet.
- The original Junet reader programs were written by Seke Wei and Seiichi
- Nomura. I have translated the source into Turbo C, enhanced the bitmap
- display routine and added better vertical and horizontal spacing between
- characters, as well as other minor things. The programs are Public Domain.
- If you modify them I would like copies of the modifications. (The orignal
- Junet Program is available at Russell.stanford.edu.)
-
- The lookup of the kanji is based on an idea that I had while talking to
- a friend with a Macintosh. All Mac's come with hypercard and I thought
- that Hypercard was some what uniquely capable of having the potential of
- a great way to lookup up the readings of a kanji. The lookup could be
- done simply by pointing the mouse and clicking. Then after thinking about
- it for I while it became clear that it would also be possible on the PC.
-
- The motivation for developing this feature stems from my lack of ability
- to retain kanji, sometimes I don't remember it only ten minutes after I
- look it up. At least with this lookup feature I can get the readings
- of the kanji which may or may not aid in remembering it, and/or looking
- it up again.
-
-
- Changes from previous version
-
- - Changed over to Ohzawa Izumi's Level 1 & Level 2 fonts
- - Added moke.rc startup file (probably will change it to view.rc later)
- - Better chance that other graphics displays will work now.
- - Statusline and yomikata displayline are reversed (looks like MOKE now)
-
- NOTE: Uses MOKE's datafiles.
-
- 2. Using VIEW
-
- view <parameters> filename
-
- where parameters are:
-
- -E reads as EUC codes
- -p read whole file first and give subject lines
- -s<s> change internal file separator <s> = new separator
- -a use alternate bitmap file
- -g specify line size (24 for VGA/EGA)
- default is hercules (16 lines)
-
- NOTE: This version will also use some of the commands in the moke.rc file.
-
- 2.1 While in lookup
-
- Choose F1 for help.
-
- Choose F7 to lookup a single kanji. (To get out of the cursor mode,
- enter 'q'.
-
- Choose F8 to start marking a word then F7 to look it up in the jdict.
-
- 2.2 Looking up a kanji
-
- To use the lookup feature you must first select the kanji with the
- arrow keys, then use the F7 key to lookup the kanji.
-
