INTRODUCTION.
The aim of this program is to convert an ASCII file to its
JASCII equivalent in the various japanese encoding standards.
USAGE
Ascii2J infile outfile [JIS/NJIS/NEC/EUC/SJIS].
where infile is the input file to be converted to JAscii,
the format will be the chosen output, you can choose among
(Old)Jis, NewJis, NEC, EUC, Shift-JIS.
E.G.: Ascii2J kinokuniya.txt kinokuniya.njis NJIS.
a file kinokuniya.njis will be created.
LEGAL
This program is provided "AS IS", with NO warranty at all.
Use it at your own risk, I'm not liable for whatever damage it can
produce.
C source is included (this is not GPL,at least not yet, read the source).
REQUIREMENTS
Should work on ANY Amiga, it is 101% ANSI C and thus is possible to
recompile it without changes on other systems (this doesn't mean I allow
to do it), this version is compiled with SasC 6.58 for the 68k side and
VBCC 0.7 for PowerPc and WarpOs, GCC 2.95.3 for the Morphos compile,
GCC 4.0.0 for the AmigaOs4 compile.
FUTURE
o GUI; (this will spoil the portability anyway)
o Support for Unicode (but I need proper docs), XC;
o Make it possible to convert back to ASCII;
o Any idea?
HISTORY
