Further revisions were # done in 1998/9 at the suggestion of Wolfgang Conrath, then a revision was # carried out in 2001 using suggestions from Yutaka Ohno based on a similar # decomposition made by Kobayashi. Further amendments were made in July # 2001 after suggestions from Hendrik. # # The format of the file is as follows: # # (a) all lines starting with a # are comments # (b) all lines starting with a $ identify a kanji element, followed by its # stroke-count and optionally either the JIS X 0212 code of the kanji # whose glyph better depicts the element in question or the name of an image # file (used by the WWWJDIC server). # (c) all other lines with kanji in them are associated with the previously # identified element. # # The file can, of course, be modified by users to suit their preferences. # Note that this file has been automatically compiled from another file, # "kradfile", in which each of the JIS1/2 kanji is listed, along with its # elements. # # Jim Breen, Tokyo, January 2001 # Melbourne, July 2001 # Melbourne, Dec 2004 #
