Subject: Foreign Language Character Sets Query
Anyone out there know anything about foreign languages on the pc,
mac, or other microcomputers? We in humanities at Duke want to do
word processing and data base work with documents in Greek, Latin,
Hebrew, Coptic, and several other esoteric languages.
Our inclination is to go with one of the "standard" machines and
write patches to handle the non-roman alphabets (I've already done
a lot of this for our Victor 9000s). If, however, someone already
has the software, and would make it available *reasonably*, it would
save a lot of time for me not to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks for the help!
