NAME

       jim_convert, jdic2txt, jsy2vjetxt, jsy2wxtxt, txt2jdic, vje2jsytxt, wx2jsytxt - Convert Japanese text and dictionary files between the JSY,
       WX, and VJE input methods

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/i18n/bin/jdic2txt [-v] [jsy-dictionary-filename]

       /usr/i18n/bin/jsy2vjetxt [jsy-text-filename] [vje-text-filename]

       /usr/i18n/bin/jsy2wxtxt [jsy-text-filename] [wx-text-filename]

       /usr/i18n/bin/txt2jdic [[-a] jsy-dictionary-filename]

       /usr/i18n/bin/vje2jsytxt [vje-text-filename] [jsy-text-filename]

       /usr/i18n/bin/wx2jsytxt [wx-text-filename] [jsy-text-filename]

OPTIONS

       Prints conversion statistics to stderr.	Appends conversion results to an existing dictionary rather than creating a new dictionary.

OPERANDS

       Specifies the name of a JSY dictionary file.  Specifies the name of a text file in JSY format.  Specifies the name of the text file in  VJE
       format.	Specifies the name of a text file in WX format.

DESCRIPTION

       Three  Japanese	input methods are used on a Tru64 UNIX system: the JSY input method (Compaq), the WX input method (A.I. Soft Company), and
       the VJE input method (VACS Company). Software for the JSY input method is available in optional Tru64 UNIX subsets  for	Japanese  language
       support.  Software for the other two Japanese input methods is included only with the Japanese Tru64 UNIX product that is sold in Japan.

       Each  of  these	input methods uses a specialized dictionary for conversion between Kana and Kanji characters. This fact makes it difficult
       for users to migrate their personal dictionaries from one input method to another, or to create a customized dictionary from a text  source
       file  for  an existing dictionary. The converters described on this reference page help support customization and migration of private user
       dictionaries for Kana-Kanji conversion.

       The converters described on this reference page can be used in combination with utilities supplied with	third-party  software  to  migrate
       Kana-Kanji dictionaries from one input method to another.

       For  the  jsy2vjetxt, jsy2wxtxt, vje2jsytxt, and wx2jsytxt converters, both file operands are optional. If neither file is specified, stdin
       and stdout are used as input and output. If only one file is specified, that file is used as input and stdout is used as output.

       For the jdic2txt converter, stdin is used as input if the dictionary operand is omitted. The conversion results are always sent to stdout.

       For the txt2jdic converter, stdin is used as input. If the dictionary file argument is omitted, results are sent to stdout.

       The following diagrams show how the process for text file and dictionary conversion differs, depending on the input method format. In these
       diagrams,  wx3ent  and  wx31st  are utilities packaged with the WX input method software, and vuty is a utility packaged with the VJE input
       method software.  The following diagrams show the process for converting dictionaries to text files using the same input method format:

	      Text file in JSY format -> txt2jdic -> JSY dictionary

	      JSY dictionary -> jdic2txt -> Text file in JSY format

	      Text file in WX format -> wx3ent -> WX dictionary

	      WX dictionary -> wx31st -> Text file in WX format

	      Text file in VJE format -> vuty -> VJE dictionary

	      VJE dictionary -> vuty -> Text file in VJE format The following diagrams show the process for converting text files from	one  input
	      method format to another:

	      Text file in JSY format -> jsy2wxtxt -> Text file in WX format

	      Text file in JSY format -> jsy2vjetxt -> Text file in VJE format

	      Text file in WX format -> wx2jsytxt -> Text file in JSY format

	      Text file in VJE format -> vje2jsytxt -> Text file in JSY format The following diagrams show the process for converting dictionaries
	      from one input method to another:

	      JSY dict. -> jdic2txt -> jsy2wxtxt -> wx3ent -> WX dict.

	      JSY dict. -> jdic2txt -> jsy2vjetxt -> vuty -> VJE dict.

	      WX dict. -> wx31st -> wx2jsytxt -> txt2jdic -> JSY dict.

	      VJE dict. -> vuty -> vje2jsytxt -> txt2jdic -> JSY dict.
