INTRODUCTION
E-tomo is designed to make possible or otherwise facilitate Japanese e-mail.
Specifically, it decodes garbage like the following for you.
^[$B;d$NL>A0$O?<ED=_$G$9!#$3$NF|K\8l!"FI$a$^$7$?!#^[(J
Japanese text send over the Internet or other networks is known to get
corrupted sometimes. There are various corruption patterns. E-tomo can
detect a pattern of corruption and decode text accordingly.
INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLATION
After you have downloaded E-tomo (see below for how to do this), first
un-binhex it using software like Binhex, StuffIt! and Compact Pro. The
resulting file is a self-dearchiving file, so just double-click on it and
extract the content. (If your Web browser is set up to work with such software
as mentioned above, dearchiving will happen automatically.) The end result
is a folder called "E-tomo v.1.0" or "E-tomo v.2.0". There is an MS-Word
file called "E-tomo manual", which will give you further instructions.
I hope you'll find E-tomo useful. Give me mail in Japanese!
