Instalation
This chapter covers installation of JWPce under a variety of situations. Also covered are issues related to compatibility between various versions of JWPce and between JWPce and JWP.
Windows XP
Requirements
JWPce requires a PC computer system running Windows XP. Windows 3.x is not supported (I suggest that you consider upgrading). The amount of memory required by the program depends primarily on the fonts and dictionaries installed. With minimum font and dictionary installation, JWPce requires less than 8MB of disk space. A full install using all of the standard bitmapped fonts, dictionaries, and the manuals, requires approximately 19MB of disk space. If you install TrueType fonts, the space requirements depend on the fonts you install (TrueType fonts are not distributed with JWPce, unless someone wants to donate a public-domain Japanese TrueType font). Similarly, if you install a number of supplemental dictionaries, the space requirements will depend on exactly which dictionaries you install.Installation Instructions
JWPce does not have a standard installation program that you run to perform the installation, but don't worry, the installation procedure is very simple, and contains only four steps.
- Obtain the distribution .zip files: One way or another obtain the distribution .zip files. Depending on where you obtained your distribution copy you may have different numbers of zip files.
- Generate a directory: Make a directory that will be your installation directory. If you are installing over a previous version of JWPce or JWP you can simply use your existing directory.
- Decompress the .zip files: Decompress the .zip files into your installation directory. If you are installing over an older version of JWPce or over JWP you can safely overwrite any files. At this point you can delete the .zip files, as they are no longer necessary. NOTE: Currently it is a requirement that essentially all the JWPce support files are located in the same directory as the executable (jwpce.exe).
- Run the Program: Run the executable program "jwpce.exe". This will automatically complete the installation, and prompt you for any information needed. Since Explorer does not normally show the file extensions, you should look for a file named “jwpce”, with the kanji KAN from KANJI as an icon.
What if I already have JWP?
If you already have JWP, you can install JWPce in the same directory. For the most part they use the same files, so you will not have to duplicate files. Where they don't use the same files, the files have different names, so they will not interfere with each other.
Tip: My recommendation would be to upgrade completely to JWPce. At this point JWPce has many more features than JWP had, is smaller, faster, and more stable on 32-bit operating systems.The only real problem is in whether or not to allow JWPce to take over the associations for the file extensions. These associations determine what program will be started when you double click on a file of the type (.jwp, .jis, .euc, etc.). Unfortunately, both programs use the same file extensions, so you will have to decide which one should handle the associations.
Dictionaries
JWPce uses newer versions of EDICT and ENAMDICT (which was part of EDICT in JWP 1.31). The newer files can be used by JWP; and JWPce can use the older dictionary files, but doing so will disable some of its features. In particular, if you use the wrong dictionary version with one of the programs, that program will not be able to block name entries. The best choice is to use the newer dictionaries, then you can either add or not add ENAMDICT to JWP's dictionary list to get the best searching options.
Major differences
If you have been using JWP, a few things will not be converted to JWPce. These include the following:
- Options: JWPce options are somewhat different than those of JWP, and the method of storing the option settings is completely different. Thus, JWPce will not even attempt to read your JWP settings.
- User Conversion Cache: When you convert kana to kanji, JWP and JWPce attempt to remember the choices you made for the kanji conversions. Although both programs store the choices in a conversion cache, they store the cache in very different ways. JWP uses a straightforward storage method, while JWPce uses a selective storage algorithm that allows it to effectively store a larger number of conversions in a smaller file. Since it is relatively painless to reselect your favorite kana-to-kanji conversions, JWPce does not attempt to read the JWP conversions file.
- User kana-to-kanji conversions: JWP and JWPce allow you to specify custom kana-to-kanji conversions (since the Wnn dictionary cannot possibly contain all the conversions you might want). JWPce stores conversions in exactly the same format as the Wnn dictionary does, which allows me to use the same search engine for both the Wnn dictionary and the user conversion dictionary. JWP uses a slightly different format for its conversion file. This difference will require one to re-enter custom kana-to-kanji conversions. If this presents too much of a problem contact me and I will attempt to provide a utility program that will perform the conversion for you.
- Glossary: JWPce does not implement the glossary feature of JWP. I did not use this feature because a number of bugs in it tended to crash the program. A similar feature can be generated by defining a custom kana-to-kanji conversion based on your mnemonic. You can then treat your string as a kana-to-kanji conversion.
Updating JWPce
If you are installing an updated version of JWPce, you can either get an updated package or install a complete version of JWPce over your existing version.
Update packages are smaller and faster to download and install. If you get an update package, please check the instructions, since the update versions now require that you have at lease a certain version of JWPce to update from. This was done to keep the size of the update versions small.
Reinstalling JWPce over your existing version has some advantages too. In particular you will get the newest copy of the main dictionaries. These are not included in the update packages, because this would defeat the purpose of the updates.
Because there have been internal changes in the versions of JWPce I am now distributing a small program called UPDATE.EXE with each version of JWPce. This program will check your version of JWPce and update any necessary files to the current version. You run this program by simply double clicking on it. After you have run UPDATE.EXE you can simply delete the program, as it will no longer be necessary. You can run UPDATE.EXE as often as you like, it will not hurt any of the files.
Windows CE Updates
I have not generated a version of UPDATE.EXE for each of the Windows CE versions. I believe that most people who are using the CE versions also have a version on their desktop. You can simply copy the updated files from your desktop to your CE machine. Also the next section contains a list of things that have changed from version to version so you can see what UPDATE.EXE would be doing.
Update History
This section contains a history of major file changes in the various versions of JWPce. If you are updating from an older version of JWPce you can see what files have been modified.
Version 1.33:
Due to changes in the kana->kanji conversion system, the files WNN.DCT and WNN.IDX have been replaced with the files WNN.DAT and WNN.DIX. Additionally, the format of the user kana->knaji conversion file (USER.CNV) has changed to match the format used by WNN.DAT. UPDATE.EXE will update the format USER.CNV, as well as offer to delete the obsolete files.
Version 1.42:
Due to changes in the configuration file project files saved from earlier versions are not compatible with version 1.42.
Network Installation & Multiple Configurations
WARNING! This section deals with technical issues related to setting up JWPce to be run over a shared network, or for a single user to run multiple configurations. If this does not fit your configuration or you are uncomfortable with such issues, simply skip this section.JWPce was originally designed as a single user program. The program originally stored all information about the user configuration in the same directory as the executable. This is efficient, but makes the program difficult to use in a network configuration, where many different users may be using the program at the same time. In such a case multiple users would end up saving their configurations on top of each other and no one would be happy. Since JWPce is being used in academic situations over networks (something I never envisioned when I started the project), support for network configurations has become more important.
WARNING! Network configurations are not supported on Windows CE versions.JWPce allows a command line argument to specify the directory for user configuration files. Normally JWPce will attempt to read all files from the user's directory, but if a configuration file is missing, it will read the file from the default directory (where the program is located). This allows the default configuration to be used to initialize all configurations. When writing, JWPce will always attempt to write user configuration information into the user directory, and will never write back into the default directory.
The command line argument to specify the user directory location is:
(+|-)user_directoryIf the plus (+) option is used all error checking will remain active. This should be the normal configuration. If the minus (-) option is used errors will not be reported when writing user configuration files. Note: Using the minus option does not have any effect on user data files, where all error reporting remains active!
Generally the minus option should not be used, but it has some advantages in special situations. For example, if you do not want users to save their configuration files then you could use this option and provide an invalid directory for the user_directory. This will prevent the user form saving configurations and prevent generation of error messages. Another special situation might be if the users save their configurations on a floppy disk, but you want the program to run quietly when no disk is in the machine. In such a case you could use the configuration option:
-a:\All JWPce features will work even when the user cannot save configuration information, however, any changes the user makes to the configuration will not be preserved from session to session.
Files Affected
Following is a list of the files that JWPce considers to be user configuration files. These are simply files that may change as the user works with JWPce but that are not actual data files:
colkanji.lst Kanji list used by the color-kanji feature. jwpce.cfg JWPce configuration file, this will be generated when you run JWPce. jwpce.dic JWPce dictionary configuration file. This file contains information about supplemental dictionaries you have installed. jwpce_lang.dll Language interface (localization) file. user.cnv User kana->kanji conversions. user.dct User dictionary. user.sel Holds user selections for kana->kanji conversions. Setup Procedure
The following section describes the things you need to think about and steps you need to take when installing JWPce on a network.
- Install JWPce: Install JWPce as normal on the server system.
- Set Default Configuration: Set up a default JWPce configuration on the server. At a minimum simply run JWPce, which will generate a jwpce.cfg file that will become the base configuration for the users. If this is not done, every new user (or users who forgot their disk) will get the message about being unable to load the configuration file, using default values.
- Install Supplemental Dictionaries: If you are going to install any of the supplemental dictionaries, you should do this now. This will set up a base dictionary search that the users can use.
- Do not generate a user dictionary: Generally you may NOT want to provide a common user dictionary. This is because if the user adds something to this dictionary, the entire dictionary will get copied into the user configuration directory. Additionally, once the user generates his or her own user dictionary, they will not be able to use any changes to the central dictionary that you may make (assuming this is an educational situation).
- If you want to provide a central dictionary: If you want to provide a central dictionary that all users can access, and that dictionary was generated as a user dictionary, you can simply rename the user.dct file to any other name and add it to the supplemental dictionaries list using the Searched Dictionaries dialog box. (Remember that the user dictionary is not indexed.)
- Setup User Executable: You will then need to modify the user executable command line to run JWPce with the correct command line arguments for your network. You may actually need to set up a script file of some kind to fetch the location of the user's directory and pass that information to JWPce. For a very simple setup, where the user is expected to store the configuration files on a floppy disk, you can modify the typical executable line from
JWPce.exetoJWPce.exe +a:\Related Topics
Windows CE (PocketPC)
WARNING! This section deals with running the Windows CE version of JWPce. If this does not fit your situation, or you just don't care about Windows CE simply skip this section.JWPce can run on Windows CE platforms (including PocketPC). This section deals with specific issues related to running JWPce in such an environment.
Implementation Decisions
Generally Windows CE versions of JWPce are almost identical to the Windows XP version. However, a number of decisions were made when implementing JWPce on Windows CE platforms:
- The BITMAP clipboard format is not supported.
- Clipboard formats TEXT and OEMTEXT are not supported (just UNICODETEXT). These formats are not supported by most other Windows CE programs.
- Multi-file selects are not supported. Windows CE does not support this feature.
- Printing is not supported in Windows CE. This may be added at some later date.
- Some items were removed from the Edit menu, because the menu was too long for the Windows CE display. The removed items are Insert page break, and the mode settings.
- Network startup options are not supported in Windows CE. The user cannot edit the command line arguments that are passed to a program.
- Some visual changes were made because of the types of buttons or controls supported by Windows CE.
Requirements
Windows CE versions of JWPce are designed to operate on HPCs (Handheld Personal Computers) and PPCs (Palm Personal Computers or PocketPCs) running the Windows CE operating system. The program has been developed and tested under Window CE version 2.0 and 3.0. I have not specifically excluded Windows CE versions earlier than 2.0, but I have not tested the program under any of these versions, and would expect that it will NOT work correctly. JWPce runs on the following Windows CE processors: MIPS, SH3, PowerPC, and ARM/StrongARM (including XScale).
Every attempt has been made to keep dialog boxes small enough so that 480x240 displays will be acceptable. There are a few dialog boxes that will have to be shifted for people using the smaller display (most notably the Radical Lookup dialog box which is clearly 640x240).
The complete installation of JWPce with dictionaries and lookup tables but no help files takes about 8.5 MB of storage (not counting the storage compression used by Windows CE). Various files can be deleted to save space, if that is necessary (see below). JWPce will run on a machine with 8 MB of RAM (less if some of the files are removed).
The following configurations are recommended for Windows CE systems:
Memory Configuration 8MB Install program in main memory and all dictionaries on flash card. Install only the required basic F16X16.F00 font. 16MB Install JWPce in memory. If your main application is JWPce you can install EDICT in main memory. Otherwise, install EDICT on a flash card. By moving EDICT to flash card you can save enough space to install additional fonts. 32MB Install JWPce, fonts, and EDICT in main memory. Install ENAMDICT and other dictionaries on flash card. 64MB+ You can easily install all of JWPce, fonts, and dictionary in main memory. If you later need the memory back, you can move some of the dictionary files to a flash card.
Installation Instructions for HPCs (handleld machines)
Currently there is no installer for JWPce under Windows CE. I will eventually generate one, but this is a low priority. Until then the following steps can be used to install JWPce on a Windows CE machine:
- Obtain the distribution .zip files: One way or another obtain the distribution .zip files - the number of files will depend on where you obtain them.
- Make a temporary directory: Create a temporary directory on your desktop machine (such as c:\temp-wince).
- Decompress the .zip files: Decompress the .zip files into your temporary directory. Generally it is better first to decompress any general files and then to decompress files that are specific to your processor. At this point you can delete the .zip files as they are no longer necessary.
- Make an installation directory: Create a program directory on your Windows CE machine, e.g. \Program Files\JWPce.
- Copy the files: Copy the desired files from the temporary directory on your desktop machine to the installation directory on your Windows CE machine. You can now delete the temporary directory (and its contents) on your desktop machine, as it is no longer necessary.
- Run the Program: Run the executable program "jwpce.exe". This program will automatically complete the installation, and prompt you for any information needed, just like the Windows XP version.
Installation Instructions, PPCs (PocketPC machines)
Currently there is no installer for JWPce under Windows CE. I will eventually generate one, but this is a low priority. Until then, the following steps can be used to install JWPce on a Windows CE PPC machine. Due to the absence of any type of file manager on the PPC versions of Windows CE, you will have to attach JWPce to the Start Menu by hand to run the program. Do not worry, the steps are very straightforward.
- Obtain the distribution .zip files: One way or another obtain the distribution .zip files - the number of files will depend on where you obtain them.
- Make a temporary directory: Create a temporary directory on your desktop machine (such as c:\temp-wince).
- Decompress the .zip files: Decompress the .zip files into your temporary directory. Generally it is better first to decompress any general files and then to decompress files that are specific to your processor. At this point you can delete the .zip files, as they are no longer necessary.
- Make an installation directory: Create a program directory on your Windows CE machine, e.g. \Program Files\JWPce.
- Copy the files: Copy the desired files from the temporary directory on your desktop machine to the installation directory on your Windows CE machine. You can now delete the temporary directory (and its contents) on your desktop machine, as it is no longer necessary.
The next steps depend on which version of the Windows CE you have!
If you have Windows CE 3.0 or a PocketPC system:
- Run the Program: On your PPC machine there should now be a link to JWPce in the programs menu. Activate this link. The program will automatically complete the installation, and prompt you for any necessary information, just like the Windows XP version.
- Done! You are done.
If you have an older Windows CE device (from before the PocketPC), you probably don’t have a file explorer, so you will need to link JWPce into the Start Menu before you can run the program.
- Select the Program: Now you will need to generate a link in the start menu so you can execute the program. Find the file JWPce.exe on the PPC device (since you just copied the files, I am assuming that you are exploring your PPC), and click on it once.
- Copy the Program: Select Copy from the Edit menu on Explorer.
- Change Directories: Change the Explorer directory to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
- Make the Shortcut: Choose Paste Shortcut from the Edit menu on Explorer. If you would like a shorter name in your start menu, you can edit the name from "shortcut to JWPce.exe" to "JWPce", or whatever you like
- Run the Program: On your PPC machine there should now be a link to JWPce in the programs menu. Activate this link. The program will automatically complete the installation, and prompt you for any necessary information, just like the Windows XP version.
- Done! You are done.
Installing Help
Normal Windows CE help is implemented using the Pocket Help program, and help information is stored in a reduced form of HTML format. Unfortunately using Pocket Help, requires that most of the help files reside in the Windows\System directory. One of the problems with HTML formatted files, is that all Japanese text must be stored as small images in separate files* (in total, there are around 130 files in the help system).
I do not like the idea of dumping 130 or so files into the Windows\System directory so JWPce implements it's help using Pocket Internet Explorer. This has a number of advantages: First, this allows the full range of HTML to be used in the help system**. Second, this allows me to place the help files in any location. There are also a few disadvantages: Pocket Internet Explorer opens files slower than Pocket Help. Overall, I believe this is the best solution.
The following steps can be used to install help on a Windows CE system:
- Obtain the distribution zip files: One way or another obtain the distribution .zip files - the number of files will depend on where you obtain them.
- Make a temporary directory: Create a temporary directory on your desktop machine (such as c:\temp-help).
- Decompress the .zip files: Decompress the .zip file(s) into your temporary directory. At this point you can delete the .zip files, as they are no longer necessary.
- Make an installation directory: Create a help directory on your Windows CE machine. The directory must be named help, and must be a sub-directory of wherever you installed JWPce. For example, if you installed JWPce in \Program Files\JWPce you must install help in the directory \Program Files\JWPce\help.
- Copy the files: Copy the desired files from the temporary directory on your desktop machine to the help directory on your Windows CE machine. You can now delete the temporary directory (and its contents) on your desktop machine, as it is no longer necessary.
Compatibility Issues
This section deals with compatibility issues between the Windows CE versions of JWPce and the Windows XP versions.
Generally all files used by JWPce are directly compatible between Windows CE and Windows XP versions. The following files, however, cannot be directly moved from one system to the other:
- jwpce.exe: Executable files cannot be moved from one system to another.
- JWPce.hlp: This is a Windows XP help file and it will not function on Windows CE machines.
- jfc.cfg: JWPce configuration files in Windows CE are slightly different from those in Windows XP. Using a configuration file on the wrong system will cause JWPce to reinitialize the configuration to the default values.
- jwpce.dic: Dictionary configuration files cannot be moved. The one on Windows CE is in UNICODE format, and the one on Windows XP is in ASCII format.
All other files can be freely moved between the systems without any translation.
* Because help must work on all system I cannot assume a Japanese display system is present.** Excluding the HTML tags that are not correctly implemented in Pocket Internet Explorer.
International Support
The appearance of JWPce's interface can be changed by the use of a language or localization file (JWPCE_LANG.DLL). These files can replace virtually all the text strings used by the program, as well as menus and dialog boxes. This system was designed to allow creation of alternative interface modules in different languages.
If a language support file is available for a language you are interested in, you can simply copy the support file to the same location as JWPCE.EXE. During startup JWPce will detect the language file and switch interfaces. There is an internal check to make sure the language support file matches the version of JWPce you are using.
Currently JWPce supports only one interface language at a time. Further the language is set when JWPce starts. At a later date, support for switching interface languages on the fly may be implemented.
If you are interested in translating JWPce's interface to another language please contact me or obtain the translation kit (jwpcetra.zip). This kit contains instructions, notes and tools used to generate a translation file. (Please don't underestimate the amount of effort that this will take, JWPce contains around 300 message strings, 50 dialog boxes, a two menus containing nearly 100 items. Most of these will require translation. This is not even considering the manual, help, or adjustments necessary for Windows CE PPCs and HPCs.)
What Should be in the Distribution?
Windows XP
Exactly what files you get with JWPce depends on who packaged the files. I distribute the program in a specific way, but since it is freeware, the copy you get may not be packaged by me. The following section describes what files should be there, what files may be there, and what they are used for. Any other files, you can probably delete if you want to.
If you distribute JWPce please try to make sure that users have access to all files included in the full distribution, source code, and utilities. These do not have to be distributed together (most users will not want the source code or utilities), however, the user should have access to all parts of the distribution if they want it.JWPce minimum installation includes the following files:
jwpce.exe JWPce executable (this is the program). changes.txt Changes for this version. _cpright.txt Copyright notice. edict Jim Breen's Japanese-English dictionary edict.jdx Index file for edict. gnugpl.txt GNU public license. k16x16.f00 16x16 bitmapped kanji font. kanjinfo.dat Kanji information database. radical.dat Radical lookup data file. _readme.txt Updated information and important changes. stroke.dat Radical lookup stroke data file. update.exe Update utility from previous versions of JWPce. wince.txt Windows CE additional information file. If you are installing a Windows CE version of JWPce please read this file. wnn.dat Kana-to-kanji conversion dictionary. wnn.dix Index to wnn.dat. JWPce full installation files (Technically, these are all optional files.):

K48x48.f00 48x48 bitmapped kanji font. The Windows CE help system contains around 130 files, all of which are HTML or gif files. The help distribution zip contains a full list of the files that should be there.Files that may be in your installation (These are files generated by JWPce, and thus may be included with the files you receive.):
colkanji.lst Kanji list used by the color-kanji feature. jwpce.cfg JWPce configuration file, generated when you run JWPce. jwpce.dic JWPce dictionary configuration file. This file contains information about supplemental dictionaries you have installed. jwpce.gid Generated by Windows help to hold bookmarks, etc. user.cnv User kana->kanji conversions. user.dct User dictionary file. user.sel Holds user selections for kana->kanji conversions. Obsolete files. These are files that were used in previous versions of JWPce.
wnn.dct Replaced with wnn.dat in version 1.33. wnn.idx Replaced with wnn.dix in version 1.33. Windows CE
Because of the space limitations on Window CE machines, you may not want to install all of the JWPce files. The following section describes all the files used by JWPce, which files are optional, and the implications if a file is not installed.
A minimum installation of JWPce includes the following files:
file type description jwpce.exe REQ JWPce executable (this is the program) changes.txt OPT Changes for this version. _cpright.txt OPT Copyright notices. _readme.txt OPT General program information. edict OPT Japanese-English dictionary. If not installed, you will not have access to the dictionary. edict.jdx OPT Index file for edict, required if you include EDICT. gnugpl.txt OPT GNU public license. k16x16.f00 REQ 16x16 bitmapped kanji font. kanjinfo.dat OPT Kanji information database.

More About Installation
More About Installation
WARNING! This section contains technical details about the installation process. If you are not interested, simply skip this section.JWPce's installation program is built into the main program. Every time JWPce starts, JWPce checks if the current installation is valid. This system allows JWPce to respond if the program is moved, or some other program interferes with JWPce's configuration. If there is a problem with the installation JWPce will display the Install JWPce dialog box.
If you simply click Yes, JWPce will perform a default installation. If you click No, JWPce will not do an install. If you click Advanced, you will get the Advanced Install dialog box (below).
Advanced Install Options
From the Advanced Install dialog box you can determine which extensions will be associated with JWPce. If a checkbox is grayed, this indicates that the extension is already associated with JWPce. . Checkboxes that are not grayed are extensions that are not associated with JWPce.
The association for JFC (.jfc) is different from all the other associations. When shift-JIS files are associated with JWPce, double clicking on these files will open them in using JWPce. In the case of JFC files, JWPce does not make this association (double clicking on the file will still open the file using JFC). Right clicking on a JFC file, however, and selecting Edit, will open the file in JWPce.
Additionally, from this dialog, you can have JWPce place an icon on the desktop or a command in the Start/Programs menu. By default, JWPce does not place an icon on the desktop, unless you ask it to. JWPce does place the command JWPce in the program group Japanese in the Start menu (or simply in the Programs menu on PPC devices).
How to Disable or Enable the Auto-Install Check
If you have a system configuration where you do not want JWPce to take over the extensions (.jce, .jwp, .euc, .sjs, .jis, .old, .nec, and .utf), and you do not want to see the Install dialog box every time you start JWPce, you can simply click the Do not check again box on the Install dialog.
If you have disabled the install check and want to enable it you can do so as follows. First, select the menu item Utilities/Install, which will manually start the install process. You can then clear the Do not check again box.
Tip: You can run the install any time you wish by selecting the menu item Utilities/Install....
Removing JWPce
Currently, there is no uninstall program for JWPce. One will probably be provided at a future date. If you wish to uninstall JWPce, follow the following steps:
- Remove JWPce files: Delete all files in the directory where JWPce is installed. You should also be able to delete the directory.
- Remove Desktop Icon: If you had JWPce create a desktop icon, this can be deleted by selecting the icon and then pressing the Del key.
- Remove Start Menu Entry: The following procedure can be used to remove programs form the Start menu:
Windows XP:
Windows CE:
- From the Start menu choose Settings then Taskbar....
- Choose the Start Menu Programs tab.
- Click the Advanced button. This will allow you to edit the Start menu.
- Select Programs to see a list of program groups.
- Find the group containing JWPce and delete either the program, or the entire group.
- From the desktop double-tap My Handheld PC.
- Double-tap Windows.
- Double-tap Programs.
- Find the group containing JWPce and delete either the program, or the entire group.
- Remove Registry Entries: See next section.
Registry Entries
WARNING! The next section deals with making changes to the system registry. Incorrectly changing the registry can have VERY bad effects on your system. If you are unfamiliar with the registry, just skip this!This section indicates the registry entries used by JWPce. If you fully want to remove JWPce you will need to remove the registry entries. Be warned, however, that fooling with the registry is not for the timid! Further, JWPce uses less than 200 bytes of registry information, so if you want you can simply ignore the registry entries.
All registry keys used by JWPce are located in the root key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. The first group of keys associate the file extensions used by JWPce with the actual program. These keys are summaries in the table below. All of these keys will have the value "JWPce" if they are being used by JWPce:
key file type .euc EUC files .jce JWPce native file .jcp JWPce project file .jfc JFC flash card file .jis New JIS .jwp JWP native file .nec NEC JIS .old Old JIS .sjs Shift-JIS .utf UTF-8 The final key is JWPce. This key and subkeys contain icon information and the program location. The entire tree can be deleted if you are uninstalling JWPce.
