The librarian at my children's Jewish Dat School is planning to computerize her cataloguing functions. She wishes to be able to enter new books into her data base and to retrieve them by title, author, subject or what have you. While there are commercially available programs for doing this with the library's English holdings, the many books in Hebrew present a problem. She would like to avoid using transliterated Hebrew. That presents problems if there is no standard set of rules for doing the transliteration. What is being sought in the data base may actually be there under a slightly different spelling. Anyway, doing it all in Hebrew is much neater. Is there a US available micro that can be equipped either with a Hebrew keybord or some reasonable Hebrew keyboard simulator? Better would be an Isreali keyboard and/or an Israeli micro that can be converted to 110 volts. Does anyone have any information? Shim
