[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Hebrew word processor

dotan@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu (Dotan Naveh) (06/15/89)

Does anyone know a good hebrew word processor out there?

Specifically, I am looking for a word processor that does not require any
special hebrew hardware.  I have VGA, so the characters could be displayed
as graphics.  I would also like this word processor to download the hebrew
characters to my FX80+ printer or, alternatively, print them as graphics.

Thanks,
Dotan.

	I have a friend from Israel who needs to write an essay for a
scholarship and it needs to be in hebrew.  Does anyone know of a Hebrew word
processor for MS-DOS?  It would be preferable to have output to a postscipt
laser printer, but dot matrix or laser jet output will be fine.  
	It would obviously move from right to left.  The less expensive the
better, for he is a college student and cash flow always seems to move right
on through a students checkbook without even stopping for a rest.

				thanks in advance

P.S. Please E-mail.

Some articles ago Gary W. Chapman asked about a Hebrew/English 
wordprocessor. I know that ChiWriter can do hebrew among other
foreign fonts (cyrillic, greek). It includes a possibility for
printing Postscript plus common 9- and 24-dot matrix printers.
(ChiWriter might also be called MegaWrite or something like
that, I'm not sure.)

You might like to try a product called Lex.  It is NOT cheap, but it 
does have many international implememtations, and Hebrew may be one of
them.
