Q01. Does hiew work under Japanese version of win98? 

A01. (based on tadashi yamakawa answer)

Basically hiew works under Japanese version of Win98
with some restrictions: 
 
1. Dos version of hiew works only in US mode (not JP), so, japanese symbols
aren't shown at all.
2. Win32 version of hiew works in JP mode but 
japanese symbols are shown in dos box mode only (not full screen).
3. Japanese ASCII search doesn't work in any version of hiew.

To run dos version of hiew in JP mode I can recommend to turn off japanese
display driver (jdisp.sys) in config.sys file (as shown above) but be
careful, some windows programs may not work after that

     device=c:\windows\himem.sys
     device=c:\windows\EMM386.EXE RAM
     devicehigh=c:\windows\biling.sys
     devicehigh=c:\windows\jfont.sys /p=c:\windows
     rem devicehigh=c:\windows\jdisp.sys         <===== 
     devicehigh=c:\windows\jkeyb.sys /106 c:\windows\jkeybrd.sys
     devicehigh=c:\windows\kkcfunc.sys
     devicehigh=c:\windows\COMMAND\ansi.sys
     DOS=HIGH,UMB

Note. Demo version of hiew is based on dos version, so, it has the same
restrictions.

Q02. How can I run Hiew on Win2k/WinXP ?

A02. (Ruslan Kantorovych)

     So what is a problem,  the HIEW works up 120x50 mode, but the setting for
     every DOS mode window on Win2k/WinXP is 80x300.
     I solved this problem by setting the default mode to 80x25 for every
     window.
     How you can do it:
       Open the DOS mode window;
       Click on the picture of the DOS mode window in the left up angle of
        the window;
       Choose "Default" (it's important);
       After that choose "Properties";
       Open "Layout" dialog;
       In the "Screen Buffer Size" area put the number 25 into "Height"
        control (by default it's 300);
       Press OK button it's all :)

Then use View>>Folder Options>>File Types.
