JDXGENW
=======

JDXGENW.EXE is a version of the indexing prgram for EDICT, ENAMDICT,
etc. which is capable of running under Windows 95 (at least from
Build 2 of W95), Windows98, SE, ME, etc.

The original DOS JDXGEN.EXE will not run at all under Windows9X,
as it uses more temporary files than are available for sorting the
indices. JDXGENW.EXE is simply the Unix/X11 version of the indexing
program compiled to run under Windows9X. I have tested it with 
Windows98SE, but not with Windows 2000.

How to use it.
--------------

Option A. Run it in the MSDOS window where the dictionary file is:

	jdxgenw [dictionary-file]

If no file is specified. it will index the default "edict" file.

Option B. Run it from the "Run" command on the Start bar. In the
"Open:" text box type the location of the program and file, e.g.

	C:\jpn\jdxgenw enamdict

Note that your Windows system must have the MSVCRT.DLL library installed.
This is present on all Windows systems except very early versions
of Windows 95.
