About language-env
==================

language-env is a package to construct native language environment 
easily.  This environment construction is done by making or modifying
dot-files.  So each user has to construct his/her environment
by invoking set-language-env.

Dot-files means files in users' home directories whose names begin 
with dot (or period).

Invoking set-language-env inserts various settings for native
language enabling surrounded by "---- language-env" comments into
your dot files.  These settings are added at the last of your
existing dot files at the first time you invoke set-language-env.
You can add settings before or after the added region and
you can modify the added settings.  When you again invoke 
set-language-env (for example when language-env is updated), the 
old settings surrounded by "---- language-env" are replaced by the 
new settings.  Thus if you have modified the added settings, this
modification is lost.  Settings outside the surrounded region 
are not affected.  Don't modify the "---- language-env" lines.
