	Japanese Dictionary for Windows (WinJDIC)

			by KiCompWare

			  Nov 1993


1. Introduction

The Japanese Dictionary project was started way back in 1990 by 
Mark Edwards. Professor Jim Breen took it over and has continued 
to support, compile, and edit it. He also wrote a DOS program JDIC
to provide a quick interface to the program. Since then a version for
the Mac, and X-Windows has been released (Jim did the X-Windows version,
someone else did the Mac version). WinJDIC is a version for MS-Windows.

The program is Copyrighted, but freeware. This means you can use it for
and pay no fee after you download it, or pay to have some ship it to you.
Distributors, may charge up to $10 (including postage and handling) to
distribute it. If you do decide to distribute, it might be a good idea
to contact us, to get the latest version. At any rate, everyone is 
encouraged to pass it on to a friend so they may benefit from an easier
road to learning Japanese.
