1. Installation
---------------------------

   See INSTALL.

2. How to use ChaSen system
---------------------------

   Suppose a Japanese text file `nihongo', which should be encoded in
   Japanese EUC (Extended UNIX Code) or JIS (ISO-2022-JP). Issue the
   following command:

   % chasen nihongo

   The result of the morphological analysis is shown on the standard
   output.  If your terminal has a direct input facility of Japanese
   characters, simply type 

   % chasen

   then input a Japanese sentence followed by a carrige return.

   You can use ChaSen server and its client. First, type

   % chasen -s

   to start ChaSen server. type

   % chasen -Dhost nihongo

   (`host' should be the hostname of ChaSen server) to run ChaSen
   client.
