What is Epwing2Anki?
--------------------
Epwing2Anki may be used to automatically or semi-automatically create Japanese
Anki vocabulary cards based on a provided list of words and one or more of your
favorite EPWING dictionaries and/or the included EDICT J-E dictionary and Tatoeba
example sentence corpus.


How to Install and Launch:
--------------------------
1) Make sure that you have .Net Framework Version 3.5 installed (you probably 
   already do). If not, you can get it through Windows update or via the following
   link: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21

2) Unzip Epwing2Anki.

3) In the unzipped directory, simply double-click Epwing2Anki.exe to launch Epwing2Anki.

   Note: Make sure that there are no non-ASCII (ex. Japanese) characters in the
         Epwing2Anki path. Also don't place Epwing2Anki in Program Files due to
         write permission issues.
