I am looking into methods of typing documents that require both Arabic and English. Is Apple's Arabic version of the system software available in the US, or are dedicated programs recommended?

I frequently to both Arabic, Hebrew & English DTP on the Mac using the respective system. /* ============================================================ */ /* Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie: MACgician */ /* President, Lazerware inc. | Delphi: MACgician */ /* | MacNet: MACgician */ /* denn@violet.berkeley.edu | AppleLink: D0025 */
