BVE: Japanese Route Program

[womer_uk]

Found a great little Japanese Program which enables you to enter the start and finish stations in English, and will give you line name and time of run, It's called, "Train Search 041" and works well with Windows 9X

To Get It.........


go to ..... http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/dl/win9.../se163724.html

and Download, "trsearch041.lzh / 321,967 Bytes / 2003.3.26 FTP"

When downloaded open it with LH Melting, when blown open the "Data" folder

Now create a new folder, "Jap"

Move the following files into "Jap".....
Dialog_sjis.dat
err_sjis.dat
line_sjis.nrk
stn_sjis.nrk
word_sjis.dat

Rename these files

Dialog_us.dat
err_us.dat
line_us.nrk
stn_eng.nrk
word_us.dat

Come out of "Jap" and rename the following files

Dialog_us.dat
err_us.dat
line_us.nrk
stn_eng.nrk
word_us.dat

to this ....

Dialog_sjis.dat
err_sjis.dat
line_sjis.nrk
stn_sjis.nrk
word_sjis.dat


And thats it.

Now just click on the EXE icon

You can now enter start and finish stations along with 3 intermeadiate stops if you wish in English then press the box marked, _

You will get up to 5 diferent ways of travelling between the start and finish points

As an example I entered, Tokyo Shinjuku in _
and sendai in _1

then clicked _

This gave me 5 different ways to get there in English including line name and the price in Yen (Its roughly 160 Yen to the Pound Sterling)

All the JR lines seem to be on it and quite a lot of the other private ones on it too


If you have Windows XP there are lots of Japanese railway programs, simulators and train map programs on here.....

They wont open with 9X but XP should be OK, why not post if you can get any of the others going ?
(Babelfish works OK with this site)

I personally could not get it working under Windows 2000 professional.

Thank you though, very cool sounding proggie, even if I can't make it work. The other site was quite interesting too!

RE: Japanese Route Program

How fun. I tried it with a couple of lines I have downloaded that have English names, and it works well. The time tables match very closely to the BVE routes.
