Technical Information

Version 1.50 is the current version of JWPce.
Requesting comments: If you have any comments, suggestions, or find bugs, please send them to me: e-mail
Features for next version: The following features will be in the next version of JWPce so there is no need to ask for them:

Buffered dictionary searches (right now these are treated as memory searches.
Sample sentences in the dictionary.
Font characteristics and colors.

Known Problems: There are no known problem at the moment. That is not to say there are not things that can be better, or that I would like to add.

I am collecting errors in the Radical Lookup dialog. If you find a kanji that is miss-categorized, please report it.

Please report any bugs and suggestions back to me: e-mail.
If you are using JFC, and upgrade your version of JWPce, make sure you have a current version of JFC (1.20).
If you choose to try JWPce, check the web site periodically for new releases, there are a number of great features in the works.
Due to space limitations on my web server, I have had to distribute files in a slightly different format. Basically to conserve space I have divided what used to be larger archives into smaller archives, when the same actual file can be reused. The main consequence of this is you may have to download more than one file. Additionally, because the copyright notice and readme files are in every archive, you will get file duplications when you decompress the files. Do not worry about this, simply overwrite all duplicated files, as long a your archives all contain the same version of JWPce.

Help! I know nothing about computers and still want to get the program!

Get all four of these .exe files! (Just click on them.)

jwpcemin.exe Part I (5.1 MB, same as JWPce minimum install).

jwpcemax.exe Part II (10.8 MB).

jwpceman.exe Manual (1 MB).

jwpcehlp.exe Help (1.4 MB).

Download them into a directory on your machine.
Double click on each file.
Find the file jwpce.exe (in your directory) double click on it.
You are done!

Utilities

Unzip Utilities JWPce is distributed in zip archives. If you do not have a utility to unzip these files here are two of the many different possible free unzip utilities. These programs are distributed as an executables, so you will not need a zip utility to install it, simply double click on the executable and follow the instructions.

cuzsetup.zip CAM UnZip (nice small easy to use, 170 kB)

freezip.exe FreeZip (very simple, limited options, 300 kB)

Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP

Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP JWPce Full Install with Extras This installation is intended for users operating on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP machines. This includes the JWPce program, all support files and all three bitmapted Japanese font files. Full documentation and help files. This version also includes EDICT (main dictionary), ENAMDICT (Japanese name dictionary), and CLASSICAL (classical Japanese dictionary).

Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP JWPce Update This installation is intended for people who are upgrading from JWPce 1.34. To use this installation you must install it in the same directory as an already existing JWP or JWPce install. Replace any files with new files obtained from the zip file. The update version does not contain the updated dictionary files. Thus if you may want to get the new dictionary files (see below), or simply get the entire system again (see above). In this case, I suggest you download the whole system again.

Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP International Support: These are localization files used to convert JWPce's interface into another language. If you are interested in translating to a particular language check the language section.
There are currently no localization files yet for version 1.50.

FJDICT This is a link to project to generate a French version of EDICT. This dictionary is fully compatible with JWPce.

Windows CE/PocketPC

Windows CE JWPce Actual Windows CE (PocketPC) versions of JWPce. Due to the difference between Windows CE hardware, the Windows CE versions of JWPce are distributed in two archives. The first archive contains all files necessary for installation, except the executable file. The second archive contains the actual executable program. The included text file WINCE.TXT contains additional installation instructions and information. If you are updating your version for Windows CE, you need only get the archive specific to your processor. Thus if you are updating from JWP or from JWPce versions earlier than 1.30 you may want to get the new dictionary files (see below), or reinstall.

jwpcebas.zip Windows CE Base file Contains the common Windows CE files (4.7 MB).

Technical

TECHNICAL: JWPce International Toolkit This toolkit(s) provide the tools, resource, source files, and information necessary to generate a localization file for JWPce. There are two types of tools. Only programmers can use the first set of tools. These are based on the actual resource files, but allow the most flexibility in the interface design. The second set of tools can be used by anyone and involves translating listings of strings. I will later assemble them into the localization file. With this system you do not need to know anything about programming, but the process will probably take several steps. Please read the sections on language and translation before stating a translation.
This is still the 1.43 translate kit. I will post the 1.50 version soon.

jwpcetra.zip Translation kit for both programmers and non-programmers, and for all platforms (210 kB).

TECHNICAL: JWPce Code This is the full JWPce code with documentation. The code is written in C++ and compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ Version 7.0. The code is heavily commented and contains an overview file to explain the relations between the various classes and modules.

TECHNICAL: JWPce Tools These are a number of tools that I wrote for manipulating the databases used by JWPce. Generally, these are only useful for people wishing to modify the code, or make corrections to the databases. The tools package includes the source code and generally any of the data file for each of the tools. The following tools are included in the package:

Tool Function

JINDEX Generates index files for EUC and UTF-8 dictionaries.

KINFO Converts Jim Breen�s KANJIDIC into the compressed format used by JWPce (KANJINFO.DAT). This utility can accept EUC or UTF-8 versions of KANJIDIC, thus supporting most languages. The KANJINFO.DAT database is used by JWPce to supply Character Information, and several of the kanji lookup systems use this database.

RINFO Processes raw character files to create RADICAL.DAT and STROKE.DAT. These files are used by the Radical Lookup feature.

UINFO Process the Unicode Consortium files to create UNICODE conversion data tables used by JWPce. The data files produced by this utility are actually C++ data structures that are compiled into JWPce.

UPDATE_133 Update utility for version 1.33.

WINFO Processes a number of different types of data files to create the kana->kanji conversion database (WNN.DAT and WNN.DIX). This utility can process WNN formatted files and/or EDICT formatted files. The default configuration processes the common WNN files and all priority entries from EDICT.
