============================================================
Installation Requirements: What do I need to get it running?

Windows CE versions of JWPce are designed to operate on HPCs 
(Handheld Personal Computers) and PPCs (Palm Personal 
Computers) running the Windows CE operating system.  The 
program has been developed and tested under Window CE version 
2.0.  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. 

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). 

My Windows CE machines are a Velo 500 and an Everex Freestyle, 
both of which use the MIPS processor. I have extensively 
tested JWPce using these systems without any problems. I do 
not have an SH3 machine, so I cannot test JWPce using such a 
machine.  However, JWPce has been tested by other users on 
both SH3 and Arm based machines without any problems.

The complete installation of JWPce with dictionaries and 
lookup tables but no help files takes about 5.1 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). 

============================================================
Installation Instructions for HPCs: How to get it working?

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:

  1. 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. 

  2. Make a temporary directory:  Create a temporary directory 
     on your desktop machine (such as c:\temp-wince).

  3. Decompress the .zip's: 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. 

  4. Make an installation directory:  Create a program directory 
     on your Windows CE machine, e.g. \Program Files\JWPce. 

  5. 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. 

  6. 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 95/98/NT version.

--------------------------------------
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 files1 (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 its 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 system2;  
second, this allows me to place the help files in any location.  
There are also a few disadvantages, such as that 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:

  1. 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. 

  2. Make a temporary directory.  Create a temporary directory on 
     your desktop machine (such as c:\temp-help).

  3. 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. 

  4. 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.

  5. 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. 

============================================================
Installation Instructions for PPCs: How to get it working?

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Make a temporary directory:  Create a temporary directory on 
     your desktop machine (such as c:\temp-wince).

  3. 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. 

  4. Make an installation directory:  Create a program directory on 
     your Windows CE machine, e.g. \Program Files\JWPce. 

  5. 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. 

  6. 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.   

  7. Copy the Program:  Select Copy from the Edit menu on Explorer.

  8. Change Directories:  Change the Explorer directory to 
     /Windows/Start Menu/Programs.

  9. 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

  10. 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 
     95/98/NT/2000 version.

============================================================
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->kanji 
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.

============================================================
Implementation Decisions: What is different from Windows 95/98/NT/2000

Generally Windows CE versions of JWPce are almost identical to the 
Windows 95/98/NT/2000 version; however, a number of decisions were 
made when implementing JWPce on Windows CE platforms: 

  * The BITMAP clipboard format is not supported (section 5.5.3). 
  * 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. 
  * Due to the difficulties in determining what tasks are running 
    on PPCs and in switching between tasks, only one copy of 
    JWPce can be run at a time on a PPC.  If you attempt to start 
    another version, the currently running version will be 
    brought to the foreground.

============================================================
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.)

============================================================
Implementation Decisions:  What is different on PPC's from HPC's

1.  Since there is no file management system on the PPC's, a 
    delete command has been added.  In addition, backup files 
    are not created by default, since they are difficult to 
    delete.

2.  Open file dialog on the PPC's does not support multiple 
    file types, so the default file type has been changed to 
    JWPce native (.jce).

3.  True Type fonts are not supported on PPC's, thus JWPce 
    will allow the use of bitmapped fonts.

4.  Remember that the open and close dialog boxes will only 
    look for files located in subdirectories or the 
    \My Documents directory.  This limits were supplemental 
    dictionaries and other things can be located.

5.  Due to screen space limitations, many labels had to be 
    abbreviated.

6.  Due to screen limitations, some information was dropped 
    from the Character Information dialog.

7.  Because determining which programs are running, and 
    changing the active program is difficult JWPce will only 
    allow one version of the program to run.  If you attempt 
    to start a second version, the current version will simply 
    be brought to the foreground.

8.  I did not adhere to Microsoft's nonsense idea that PPC 
    programs not allow the user to exit.  JWPce has a close 
    box and an exit item on the menu.

============================================================
Files: What should be there, and what may be there.

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.

Additionally, you can save space on a Windows CE machine by
selectively not installing all of the files.

JWPce minimum installation includes the following files:

   jwpce.exe    -- JWPce executable (this is the program).

                   REQUIRED FILE

     *These files are slated to be replaced in a later version of
      JWPce.  The new versions will have added functionally or be
      significantly smaller, or both.

    **JWPce for Windows CE is distributed with a smaller version 
      of kanjinfo.dat that does not contain the nanori, or pin 
      yin data.  You can obtain the full version kanjiifo.dat 
      from the web site if you wish to have the additional data.
 
JWPce full installation files: (these are all technically optional files).

    classical     -- Classical Japanese dictionary.
    classical.euc -- Documentation for CLASSICAL.
    enamdic       -- Japanese name dictionary.
    enamdic.jdx   -- Index file for Japanese name dictionary.
    jwpce.doc	-- Documentation (in Word 97 format).
    k24x24.f00    -- 24x24 bitmapped kanji font (if you have a good
                     printer you can delete this one).
    K48x48.f00    -- 48x48 bitmapped kanji font.

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, 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 -- Localization (language support) file, causes 
                     JWPce to change the system interface to 
                     another language.
   user.cnv       -- User kana->kanji conversion.  This is your own
                     conversion dictionary.
   user.dct       -- User dictionary file.
   user.sel       -- Holds user selections for kana->kanji conversions.

============================================================
Obsolete Files:  Files that are no longer required

These files have been replaced with updated files, and thus
are no longer necessary.

Files made obsolete in version 1.33:

  wnn.dct - replaced with wnn.dat
  wnn.idx - replaced with wnn.dix

============================================================
Older Windows CE Versions:  What to do if you have an older machine.

If you get an error starting JWPce on older versions of Windows 
CE, you will need to use the program version designed for older
versions of the operating system.  This version of JWPce uses 
fixed file locations, since early versions of Windows CE did not
support variable file locations.
