XJDIC V2.3, XJDSERVER V2.3 -- (Copyright: J.W. Breen - 1998)

XJDIC is an  electronic  Japanese-English  dictionary  program  designed  to 
operate  in  the  X11 window environment.  In particular,  it must run in an 
"xterm" environment which has Japanese language support such as provided  by 
"kterm" or internationalized xterm, aixterm, etc. 

It  is based on JDIC and JREADER which were developed to run under MS-DOS on 
IBM PCs or clones. 

XJDIC functions as: 

(a) an English to  Japanese  dictionary  (eiwa  jiten),  searching  for  and 
displaying entries for key-words entered in English; 

(b)  a  Japanese  to  English  dictionary  (waei  jiten),  searching for and 
displaying entries for keywords  or  phrases  entered  in  Japanese  (kanji, 
hiragana or katakana); 

(c)  a  Japanese-English  Character  dictionary  (kanei  jiten),  capable of 
selecting kanji characters by JIS code, radical, stroke count,  Nelson Index 
number or reading, and displaying compounds containing that kanji.
