JWPce
This is a Japanese word processor. JWPce uses Jim Breen's Japanese-English dictionary. This dictionary allows the user to translate both to and from Japanese, using either kanji or kana.  JWPce has the ability to lookup kanji by stroke number, and by identifying any number of radicals contained within the kanji. JWPce has the ability to provide a large amount of information on any kanji character, including meanings, on-yomi, kun-yomi, etc. JWPce can display kanji in a list you generate in a different color. JWPce can identify the most common kanji in a file. (Press the 'Download the Program' link.)
