• ATOK X provides the following set of features:
— SuperATOK Kana-to-Kanji conversion engine
— Real-time warning for wrong input
— Proper word selection by context analysis
— Automatic correction for fuzzy input
— Various customizable features
— Various dictionary operations
— Zip code dictionary
— Migration for user-defined dictionary and key-mapping configuration from existing Japanese input
methods
— On-line HTML help
• Because the ATOK X input method is a new feature for this release, there are no compatibility issues.
However, as a benefit for users, ATOK X provides migration capability for the user-defined dictionary and
key-mapping configuration, that have been created by the ATOK8, VJE-γ, and EGBridge input methods.
The user can easily migrate from the previous Japanese input methods to ATOK X.
• The VJE-γ and EGBridge input methods are obsolete and are not supplied in this and future releases. It is
recommended that users using these input methods should adopt ATOK X or other supported Japanese
input methods. The transition to ATOK X is simplified by the supplied migration features in the on-line
help.
Obsolescence of VJE-γ and EGBridge Japanese Input Methods
Two Japanese input methods, VJE-γ and EGBridge have been obsoleted with the release of HP-UX 11i
Version 1.6. This version of HP-UX provides migration tools to assist the user in moving to ATOK X.
Future releases of HP-UX will not provide two Japanese input methods, VJE-γ and EGBridge. that are used
in conjunction with CDE and the X Window System. These two entries will also be removed from the
dtimsstart menu.
Those who have used VJE-γ and EGBridge can easily migrate to ATOK X. ATOK X provides a mode of key
mapping emulations of VJE-γ and EGBridge. ATOK X can import customized user-defined dictionaries
created by VJE-γ or EGBridge.
ATOK X on-line help, available through the help icon on the ATOK X front panel provides:
— The steps required to import user-defined dictionaries
— A complete listing of key mapping emulations
— Some restrictions
Japanese-specific Commands and Library Routines
Certain Japanese code conversion commands and routines, character handling routines, and Kana-to-Kanji
conversion routines are restored in this release, in order to maintain binary compatibility with existing
10.20/11.00/11i v1 PA binary applications.
Because there is no intention to support new application development with these functions, header files,
manual pages, and native IA library are not provided. These library routines can be found in
/usr/lib/libjpn.1.
NOTE For more details, refer to /usr/share/doc/JpnCmdLib.txt that describes the list of commands
and routines supplied.
