jim_convert, jdic2txt, jsy2vjetxt, jsy2wxtxt, txt2jdic,
vje2jsytxt, wx2jsytxt - Convert Japanese text and dictionary
files between the JSY, WX, and VJE input methods
/usr/i18n/bin/jdic2txt [-v] [jsy-dictionary-filename]
/usr/i18n/bin/jsy2vjetxt [jsy-text-filename] [vje-textfilename]
/usr/i18n/bin/jsy2wxtxt [jsy-text-filename] [wx-text-filename]

/usr/i18n/bin/wx2jsytxt [wx-text-filename] [jsy-text-filename]
Prints conversion statistics to stderr. Appends conversion
results to an existing dictionary rather than creating
a new dictionary.
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.
Three Japanese input methods are used on a Tru64 UNIX system:
the JSY input method (HP), 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 thirdparty
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.
