Description-en: ASCII jTeX with pTeX
ASCII jTeX is Japanese TeX, designed by ASCII corporation.

In this version, 'jtex' and 'jlatex' are renamed as 'ajtex' and 'ajlatex',
respectively. And these programs are compiled with a recent ptex, which is
included in texlive-binaries package. Note ajlatex is of latex209 version.

Note ptex in texlive-binaries needs to use option "--kanji=euc" for a file
in EUC-JP encoding, so please add "--kanji=euc" for ajtex/ajlatex commands.
