      1. Errors Found in Printed Manual

         1). In the 'Introduction' page, the CompuServe and email has been
             mis-spelled as 100023,2724, the correct number is

                CompuServe: 100032,2724
                Internet:   100032.2724@CompuServe.COM

         2). In the User Manual page 84, the example of \Header and \Footer
             should use ("STRING")
             instead of {"STRING"}

      2. Control the Blank line space in Pro Version:
         By default, a blank line takes the same space of normal line.
         User can define the size of blank line in number of line space
         with the command \BlankSpace(n) or \BS(n), for example, \BS(2)
         means a blank line should be printed as twice as wide as a line
         space.

         This can also be defined permanently in NJSTAR.INI as

         BLANKSPACE=n   (where n = 0 - 10 )

      3. NJSTAR and Windows NT's NTFS partition:
         If you install NJSTAR in the NTFS partition, after installation,
         when if new file is added/deleted in NJSTAR directory, NJSTAR will
         give an error 'Un-authorized Copy'. To avoid this problem, Do not
         install NJSTAR on NTFS partition, Install it in FAT partition
         instead.

20/11/94 Version 3.03j

         For both Basic & Pro Versions,

      1. In Kana-Kanji Mode, Press Space to select list one by one, press
         Shift+Space to backup the selection in case of the right selection
         has passed over.

      2. In order to share Jim Breen's EDICT with other Japanese programs,
         an environment variable EDICT can be defined as (suppose file EDICT
