Pocket Kanji Guess 0.2 (pocketKG)

KiCompWare


Introduction

pocketKG is a simple Japanese flashcard and multiple guess Windows CE program 
for the ARM SA11xx based Pocket PC (we used the Cassopeia E-200). It is a prototype
which we hope can be developed into a full working version like its cousin for
the desktop PC. The program will display Japanese (or Chinese) characters on the
Pocket PC. This version has been released to judge the interest in such a program. 
We think this device or devices like this are ideal for learning. Yes they need 
to be faster, have a color screen, have higher resolutions, and be integrated
with your cellular. Though please keep in mind that next year will bring a 
cheaper, faster, better model. 

Initially pocketKG includes most of the DOS version of KG vocabulary files. 
You may create your own files by using a Japanese word processor and saving 
or converting the files into EUC format. Please see the KG manual for a 
description of the file format.

Please mail me with your comments or what you think (nozomisoft@yahoo.com).

Installation

Currently only SA11xx cab files are provided. It should work on all of the 
Pocket PC 2002 machines (Jornada, IPAQ, and Casio), or earlier versions of the 
IPAQ. If there is demand for other formats (of the Pocket PC) mail me with the
request and I will work on it (nozomisoft@yahoo.com). 

Run the setup.exe from the zip file after downloading it.

Shareware

pocketKG like its DOS cousin is Shareware. This normally means you may try out 
the software and if you use it you must pay some registration fee. There is no 
fee charged for pocketKG 0.1. However, if pocketKG ever makes it to a 1.0 release 
there will be a nominal fee to cover expenses. This software is supplied as is, 
with no warrantee of suitability for any purpose.
