Beta Patches

These patches are not fully tested, nor normally necessary for operation of MetaEdit+: install them and use them with care, and only if you want or need the changes mentioned.

Japanese support: character input, encodings, fonts, shell commands
japanese55.mep allows inline input of Japanese characters, adds the Japanese encodings, uses Japanese fonts, and allows Japanese characters in calls to shell commands. The Japanese patch should only be loaded if the OS locale is set to Japanese before starting MetaEdit+. See japanese55.txt for more details.
