JPWrite is the only program for TI calculators that let's you write in Japanese made in assembly. It can now save and load pages of written Japanese and be sent to a pc to be printed. To write in Japanese use either doors or plusshell. It needs JPlib, graphlib, util, and savelib. This version has not been tested on AMS 1.05, but does work on AMS 1.00. If you try it on AMS 1.05 please tell me the results. Or if there are any questions or compliments then send them to me at Bentensai@fcmail.com
Keys
Because there is so many characters in the Japanese language the keyboard has been set up in the following way. The bottom left character is at the "on" button and goes right to the "enter" button. It also goes up to the "f1" button, but skips the "Diamond" button row and the "2nd" button row.

There are some special buttons. These are the "APPS" button brings up the menu that lets you choose which set of characters you want to use. Shown above. The "ESC" button exits the program. To load the last page of data hit "diamond" and "Shift" button. The program automatically saves when you exit the program. To modify a charactor with a "tenten" hit the 2nd key and down or with a "maru" then hit 2nd and up. To put a period at the end of a sentence then hit 2nd and right.
Included Programs
There is a program included with this that lets you copy the current info to another place so that it will not be written over.
