Introduction
Notation Used
Before we get started with the actual manual, here are some terms used throughout this manual:
Windows Refers to all versions of Windows after 95 (this currently includes 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, CE, CE Pro, and PocketPC). Windows XP Refers to Windows 95 or higher (currently 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP), not CE. Windows CE Refers to all variants of the Windows CE operating system (CE, CE Pro, and PocketPC).
What is JWPce and what can it do for me?
JWPce is a freeware Japanese word processor, available free to anyone under the terms of the GNU General Public License. You are welcome to make a copy of JWPce for your own use, as well as to distribute it to other people. The GNU General Public License binds you to the agreement that you always distribute full copies of the program, and that you may charge a distribution fee for distributing it. However, no part(s) of JWPce may be included in any commercial product, nor may any commercial product include portion(s) derived from part(s) of JWPce, without the explicit permission of the respective copyright holder(s).JWPce is a basic Japanese word processor that is designed primarily for the English speaker who is reading and/or writing in Japanese. Considerable effort has been put into the online dictionary, kanji information, and radical lookup features of JWPce. These allow JWPce to function as an electronic Japanese-English, English-Japanese, and kanji dictionary. Additionally, JWPce has a number of features that were designed to assist students studying Japanese.
Although JWPce was inspired by the program JWP (created by Stephen Chung), JWPce is a complete rewrite of the code, starting from scratch. During the creation of JWPce, I added a number of features designed to assist me in learning Japanese. You may find these same features to be useful. Additionally, JWPce contains a number of features to make it easier to read native Japanese text (in electronic or print media).
Who Should/Should not Consider Using JWPce
To use JWPce effectively you must be able to read the phonetic Japanese alphabets (at least hiragana, and probably both hiragana and katakana). JWPce does not operate in romaji mode (romanized representation of Japanese). Aside from using romaji for input, and a few labels here and there that are in romaji, JWPce uses Japanese characters.I certainly do not presume to tell people what they should and should not use JWPce for. However, given the limitations of the program, it is not suited to all applications. JWPce was designed to provide three basic sets of features, targeted primarily toward English speakers:*
I believe JWPce does a good job at providing these features.
- Basic Japanese word processing.
- Online Japanese(English dictionary and kanji dictionary.
- Aids for students learning Japanese.
JWPce's major limitations are in the word processing area. The program was designed to provide only basic editing features, and designed only for editing moderately sized files.** Further, the current restrictions on formatting and font changes would make JWPce unstable for some larger tasks.
As this all boils down to the fact that you might want to consider another word processor if you have to manage a large text file, such as writing a novel in Japanese. If you are a student, or someone who writes and reads some Japanese, and you want access to the online dictionaries, JWPce may be all you ever need.
* If you are interested in translating JWPce to another language, contact me for assistance.
** The definition of moderate depends highly on the speed of your processor. I regularly edit files in excess of 200 KB (100 pages) on an old 90MHz Pentium portable (without cache). The system performance when editing such files is just fine and dandy. On the same system I can edit edict (2.6 MB), and the system is a bit sluggish, but not bad.
Historical Development
Computer programs are developed over time. A program such as JWPce, which is written in ones spare time, can take a long time to develop. As with most long projects, decisions made at the beginning of a project can seriously affect its final shape. To put the JWPce project in perspective, here is a very short historical view of the project.
I wanted to be able to read Japanese text when traveling. However, for me to read a native Japanese text requires that I have access to both a Japanese dictionary and a kanji dictionary. Carrying these around is a nuisance and tends to prohibit casual reading. By using JWP's online dictionary and kanji lookup facilities, I could read a Japanese text much easier than by using a paper dictionary, but I still would have to carry a portable computer (and on top of that my portable only lasts for about one hour on battery power).
In 1997 I became aware of Windows CE machines. These are small computers (usually under a pound in weight) that run the Windows CE operating system (which is mostly like Windows XP). I thought that if JWP could be ported (a computer term for moving a program to another system) to such a machine, I would be able to read Japanese text using the small machine (imagine a Japanese(English dictionary and kanji dictionary under a pound), and have my e-mail connection at the same time. Unfortunately, however, early Windows CE machines did not have sufficient memory to run JWP and thus the project stalled. In early 1998 Windows CE 2.0 machines were scheduled to be released. Two of these new models were available with 24MB and 32MBmemory, which is more than sufficient to run JWP, and the project was on again.
I had first intended simply to port JWP to Windows CE. However, examination of the code revealed that this was not a practical proposition. Instead, I decided to rewrite the code, and this is the result of that effort. It is important to keep in mind that JWPce was originally intended to run on Windows CE machines, which have limited screen and memory resources. As a result, several features of the original JWP were adapted to use less memory and work on smaller displays.
How Things Actually Turned Out
As things turned out, the scope of the JWPce project has increased. When I wrote JWPce I left out many features in JWP that I did not use, in order to reduce the code size. In addition, many features that I would have liked to have in JWP but that were not there were added to JWPce. The end result is that JWPce is a different program from JWP and has a different feature set. The answer to which one you should use is whichever you like better, or use them both. Personally I use JWPce, but then, since I wrote it, it works the way I want it to. (Actually, at this point I would suggest that anyone still using JWP switch to using JWPce. This is primarily because JWPce supports many more features that JWP and is much more stable on 32-bit operating systems.)
The GNU General Public License
A description of the GNU General Public License is shown below, taken directly from the license document. Your distribution kit should contain a copy of GNU General Public License in the file: GNUGPL.TXT (straight text).GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
All this basically means that you are free to get a copy of the program if you want, including the full source code.a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Whenever a specific copyright notice conflicts with the GNU General Public License, the specific copyright provision(s) will take precedence over the GNU General Public License.
Disclaimers
Because this program is free software, it is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. This means that if you lose millions of dollars because you used the program, tough. So there!If you encounter any bugs, have suggestions, or want to make a comment, you should e-mail the information to me and I will attempt to respond.
Acknowledgments
The creation of JWPce is directly or indirectly the result of contributions from several people. I would like to take the time to thank them for their efforts, because without them, JWPce would never have been created!
- The development team that led to JWP and the databases used in JWPce include:
- Stephen Chung Who performed a wonderful job in creating JWP, and whom I have shamelessly borrowed from, including the basic layout of this manual.
- Jim Breen (jwb@csse.monash.edu.au) of Australia supplied the Japanese-English dictionary used in JWPce. He also completed the 'Kanji Info' database by putting together the works of several people, including his own. This forms the basis of JWPce's character Information feature.
- Mike Erickson (mikee@gr.hp.com) of HP supplied the original 'Kanji Info' database.
- Ken Lunde (lunde@adobe.com) of Adobe supplied the routines to read and write Japanese text files in EUC, JIS, and shift-JIS formats.
- Michael Raine and Derc Yamasaki (michael-raine@uiowa.edu) provided the original radical lookup tables that JWPce uses.
- Wnn consortium: Kyoto University Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, OMRON Corp. and ASTEC, Inc. provided the kana-to-kanji conversion database.
- Izumi Ozawa (izumi@violet.berkeley.edu) of Berkeley donated the font lookup and index translation routines.
- Kevin Ortman ortman@unomaha.edu) programmed the Input Line Editor (not available in JWPce).
- William Heintzelman and Harvey Turnbull, Who helped with proofreading the manual.
- Matthew J. Francis, who did most of the work to make JWPce run under Wine on UNIX/LINUX systems.
- Gregg Tavares, who helped with the Microsoft Global IME support.
- The professors and staff at UCLA whom I learned Japanese from:
- Professors Masako Ogawa-Douglas, Shoichi Iwasaki, Seiji Lippit, and Michele Marra.
- Teaching Assistants: B. Baird, Michael Dankert, J. Essertier, Tetsuo Harada, Kyoko Ito, Masako Tamanaha, Hidemi Sugi, and Rinko Shibuya.
- Special thanks to Dr. Masako Ogawa-Douglas, who encouraged me to release JWPce in its early stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to some of the most common questions people ask.
- Will JWPce work on a PocketPC? Yes. The PocketPC operating system is really just Windows CE version 3.0. JWPce will run fine under this system.
- What version of JWPce should I use with an XScale processor? ARM/StrongARM. The XScale (Intel) processor uses the ARM instruction set.
- Will JWPce work on under Japanese versions of Windows? Yes. I personally use a Japanese Windows CE machine (although I also have a western one for testing). JWPce has been tested using both western and Japanese versions of Windows and works correctly under either.
- Will JWPce work on a Mac? Not really. There is not a Mac version of JWPce. You should be able to run JWPce under SoftPC or WINE on the Mac, but I have not tried to do so.
- When will JWPce be ported to the Mac? Unknown. There are no plans for a Mac port at the moment. I don’t have a Mac system so I could not do such a port. If someone wants to port JWPce to the Mac, I will offer all the help I can.
- Will JWPce work on my Palm? No! The Palms use a different operating system and JWPce does not work under Palm OS. Currently there are no plans to port JWPce to the Palm OS. Much as with the Mac, I don’t have a Palm system so I cannot port JWPce to the Palm. If someone wants to undertake this project, I will provide all the support I can.
- Will JWPce work on my Handspring? No! The Handspring is just a Palm clone. JWPce does not work under the Palm OS.
- Is there going to be a romaji only version of JWPce? Probably not! I personally hate romaji and find it difficult to read. I currently have no intention of generating a romaji version of JWPce.
- I get an error like “Unable to Initialize Fonts,” what should I do? This error is generated during startup when JWPce cannot find the startup font (usually k16x16.f00). Generally this is caused by an incomplete installation. For Windows XP users, this usually means you have installed the update when you cannot. For Windows CE users, this usually means you have only installed the files specific to your processor and not the common files.
- Does JWPce work with the Microsoft IME? Yes! If you have versions of Windows older then Windows XP, just enable the IME and it will work just fine with JWPce. If you have Windows XP, changes were made in the way the IME works. If you simply activate the IME, it will only send a string of question marks to JWPce. To instruct the IME to send actual Japanese characters to JWPce you need change some parameters in the Control Panel:
- Open Control Panel
- Open the “Regional and Language Options”
- Select the “Advanced Tap”
- Change the “Language for non-Unicode Programs” to Japanese
JWPce Features
JWPce has many special features. The main ones are:
- Online Dictionary: JWPce uses Jim Breen's Japanese-English dictionary. This dictionary allows the user to translate both to and from Japanese, using either kanji or kana. JWPce's dictionary features are highly expanded, the program allows searching of Jim Breen's EDICT (general word dictionary), and ENAMDIC (a name dictionary containing over 168k Japanese names), as well as a number of other Japanese(English dictionaries. Additionally, a user dictionary is supported for words that you cannot find in the online dictionaries.
- Radical Lookup: JWPce has the ability to lookup kanji by stroke number, and by identifying any number of radicals contained within the kanji. Thus if you can identify two or more radicals within the kanji, you can search for all kanji containing all of those radicals.
- Many Different Kanji Lookup Systems: JWPce contains no less than nine kanji lookup systems.
- Kanji Information: JWPce has the ability to provide a large amount of information on any kanji character, including meanings, on-yomi, kun-yomi, etc.
- Auto-detect Clipboard: When importing from the clipboard JWPce can automatically detect the clipboard format. This makes reading Japanese web pages much easier.
- Unicode Support: JWPce supports Unicode both in files and on the clipboard. As Unicode applications become more dominant, this feature will become even more useful. (Current Unicode applications include Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x, Word, Netscape 4.x, and all native Windows CE applications.)
- Color Kanji: JWPce can display kanji in a list you generate in a different color. This allows you to color either the kanji that you don't know or the kanji that you do know.
- Advanced Search: JWPce has expanded search capabilities that allow searching over multiple files.
- Kanji Counting: JWPce can identify the most common kanji in a file. This list is useful for students who want to identity common kanji to learn.
- Regular Actions: JWPce has a very regular approach to user interactions. This allows you to call up the kanji information box from any location, or call up the radical lookup dialog box from any edit box.
- Multiple Selections: JWPce allows multiple selection to be used in almost every location. This include the Open File... dialog box, the dictionary dialog box, the Character Information dialog box, etc. Selection of multiple items is supported wherever it makes sense.
- Highly Configurable: Although JWPce is not configurable in all the ways JWP was, in many ways it is more configurable. Look through the Utilities/Options... dialog box for the major options. (Note that dictionary search options cannot be set there, use the Utilities/Dictionary... dialog box to set these).
- User Conveniences: JWPce has many user conveniences built into the interface, including remembering where your window is located, reloading files you were previously working on, etc.
- Network Configuration: JWPce can be installed on a network where, each user is assigned a location to store his or her personal configuration.
