[comp.text.tex] Japanese [La]TeX for DOS

jalbert@cs.ubc.ca (Francois Jalbert) (11/25/90)

I recently completed my work on a Japanese version of emTeX for DOS. All the 
relevant material is immediately available by FTP from Tokyo on the computer 
utsun (133.11.11.11).

You can now with METAFONT generate your own Japanese fonts. There are 61 fonts 
of 128 characters each.

You can also create with any standard implementation of [La]TeX Japanese 
documents. I also typeset beautiful Japanese music with MuTeX.

I include the file README to give you a more precise idea of the package.

                            Japanese [La]TeX for DOS 
                                - Version 1.0 -                                

This is the first release (11-10-90 at 12:00p) of my utilities to generate your
own Japanese fonts and to use them with any standard implementation of [La]TeX.

Since the documentation is specifically geared towards Eberhard Mattes' emTeX,
I suggest the following be stored under something like \msdos\JemTeX.

The text files are: JGUIDE   TEX    61512
                    JIS2MF   PAS    15966

The compressed binary files are: JIS2MF   EXE     7185
