Patch name: japanese50a.mep
Timestamp:  2012-07-31 17:30
Requires:   
- MetaEdit+ 5.0 (Build 41 or later)
- OS locale set to Japanese before starting MetaEdit+

Documentation:
* Allows inline input of Japanese characters
* Uses Microsoft's fonts supporting Japanese characters
* Allows Japanese characters in calls to shell commands
* NB 5.0 Builds 39 and later already contain the Japanese encodings, 
  listed here with the names to use in the encoding clause in generators:
  - JIS ('jis' or 'iso-2022-jp')
  - ShiftJIS ('shiftjis' and platform variants 'ms_cp_932' and 'hp15_jp')
  - EUC ('euc-jp')

To use: 
Place the file japanese50.mep in a 'patches' subdirectory of your MetaEdit+ 
working directory, e.g. My Documents\MetaEdit+ 5.0\patches, and check the 
target in your MetaEdit+ shortcut properties includes 'fileInPatches', e.g.

"C:\Program Files\MetaEdit+ 5.0 Evaluation\mep50.exe" fileInPatches
                                                     --------------

On Windows, the "Language for non-Unicode programs" must also be set
to Japanese to enable inline input of Japanese characters 
(Control Panel | Regional and Language Options | Advanced page). 
Changing the OS settings after MetaEdit+ has started has no effect.
