   Special Thanks to Mr. Motoyuki Kasahara, the author of FreePWING, who had
the kindness to write the first version of Makefile.

Original Files
==============

   The Jargon File
   http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/

   FreePWING

Build Environment
=================

   The Jargon File 4.3.1
   Windows NT 4.0 SP6a
   ActivePerl 5.005_03 Build 522
   FreePWING 1.3.1
   EPWUTIL Ver.1.1 (Recomplied for Win32)

   This script supports The Jargon File 4.3.0 and 4.3.1. It also expected
   to work with The Jargon File 4.2.0 and 4.2.2, but not tested at all
   with these older versions. If you encountered any problems on the older
   Jargons, please let me know. (The Jargon File 4.2.3 is not 'officially'
   supported due to the formatting problem in the original text.)

How To Make
===========

   1. Extract the source files from jarg-fpw{version}.tar.gz (you should
      have already done).

   2. Place the original dictionary file 'jarg431' (in plain text) to the
      same directory as the extracted files.

      You can change the dictonary path and/or filename by replacing or
      overriding the JARG variable in the Makefile.

   3. For UNIX users: Open the Makefile and define the NKF variable. This
      variable is used to convert the kanji code and newline sequences of
      'catalogs.sjis' file. If you don't, the default command line 'nkf -eSd'
      will be used.

      You can also override the NKF variable at the make command line
      instead of directly modifying Makefile.

   4. Run Makefile using fpwmake or GNU make.


Notes For Jamming Users
=======================

   Menu entries would not be displayed correctly on Jamming (for Windows,
   not confirmed on Macintosh version). I cannot deal with this symptom!

   * jargon-fpw.pl: Added copyright entry.

2001-05-16 satomi <satomi@ring.gr.jp>

   * jargon-fpw.pl: Supported jarg430 (but not tested on any of the earlier
