Sorry for misleading software names.
ASCII pTeX was called as ASCII jTeX when it supported Japanese
characters but did not support vertical writing. ptex-jtex package
contains only style files which are compatible to ASCII jTeX, and they
are different from style files of NTT jTeX. Therefore, ptex-jtex does
not mean the wrapper of ASCII pTeX to support NTT jTeX.

No, I believe that some extensions to real engine against TeX original
engine were needed to support Japanese characters.
