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
  -v  Prints conversion statistics to stderr.

  -a  Appends conversion results to an existing dictionary rather than
      creating a new dictionary.

OPERANDS
  jsy-dictionary-filename
      Specifies the name of a JSY dictionary file.

  jsy-text-filename
      Specifies the name of a text file in JSY format.

  vje-text-filename
      Specifies the name of the text file in VJE format.

  wx-text-filename
      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 (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 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.
