-ASCII Co. was founded by Mr. Nishi Kazuhiko, Mr. Tsukamoto, and Mr. Gunji.
-This company works in the software and publishing field. So ASCII was
-interested in the TeX system. They developed "ASCII Nihongo TeX" in
-cooperation with a group of the Keio University in 1987. ASCII Nihongo TeX
-is freeware. ASCII Co. implemented this system on MS-DOS in 1989 and sold
-it. ASCII Co. added the capability of vertical typesetting to Nihongo TeX---
-this is called the p version or pTeX (publishing TeX).
-
-ASCII translated some important books into the Japanese language. These
-books are of course typesetted with Nihongo TeX.

- "The TeX book", "The Metafont book" Knuth.
-
- "LaTeX: A Document Preparation System" Lamport.
-
-Many articles about TeX appear in the "UNIX magazine" published monthly by
-ASCII.
-
-
-Some features of Nihongo TeX:
-
- 1. The dvi file format is different from the original TeX's dvi file
- format. (NTT-JTeX's dvi file format is the same as original one. So we
- can use NTT-JTeX's dviware for the CJK package.)
-
- 2. Nihongo TeX is not only capable of using TeX Font Metric files (tfm),
- but can also use Japanese Font Metric files (jfm). The jfm file format
- is defined as an extension of the tfm file format for Nihongo TeX. One
- jfm file has about 7000 kanji character metrics and kerning
- informations to cover entire JIS fonts (and thus avoiding subfonts).
- [See shibuaki.txt for some details about space handling between
- Japanese and ASCII characters.]
-
- 3. Characters can be printed vertically.
-
-
-In 1992 Tsukamoto and Gunji retired from ASCII Co. and founded Impress Co.,
-and some engineers specialized on TeX moved from ASCII to Impress.
-
-Impress Co. works in same field as ASCII Co., namely software and
-publishing. In 1994 Impress made and sold "TeX for Windows" based on an
-older version of ASCII Nihongo TeX (a modified TeX version 2.99). This
-system runs on Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or Windows NT and has been sold to
-many PC users. Literature is also available for "TeX for Windows".
-
-A major drawback of this system is that it is not yet based on TeX 3 and
-thus cannot fully support LaTeX2e or multilingual issues.
-
-
-In November 1995 ASCII announced the latest version of Nihongo TeX (pTeX
-2.1.1) which is based on TeX 3.1415; this package also contains a format
-file of LaTeX2e <1995/06/01>.
-
-At the time of this writing (1996/02/09) ASCII Nihongo TeX's version is pTeX
-2.1.4 .
