SUMMARY
Japanese Windows 3.1 requires DOS/V (Japanese MS-DOS). DOS/V has two
different modes, English and Japanese modes. The CHEV command is used
to change between these two modes.
MORE INFORMATION
MSKK of Japan released DOS5/V and DOS6/V. DOS/V has two different
modes, and Japanese Windows 3.1 runs only on Japanese mode.
CHEV.EXE is used in DOS5/V to temporarily change the display between
English mode and Japanese mode.
The CHEV command was added to Japanese DOS/V as a convenience to users. The
command is used similarly to such MS-DOS commands as MODE, XCOPY, and so
forth. Before running Japanese Windows, make sure that you are using the
Japanese mode of DOS/V; otherwise, use the CHEV command to change to
Japanese mode.
NOTE: DOS/V EDIT.COM works only in English mode.
