[comp.text] Hebrew WP software needed for PC

paulb@ttidca.TTI.COM (Paul Blumstein) (10/03/89)

I know that this question has been asked before, but I ignored it
since I do not own a PC. However, I have a friend in need.

They have: an IBM PC/AT compatible w/CGA.
An epson dot-matrix printer; a star micronics SG-10 printer and
a Gemini MX2400 printer.

They need: software to allow them to do Hebrew Word Processing
and printing.

Please e-mail me info on any packages out there.  If you have
any experience with one, please let me know what you think of it.
Thanks, in advance.

Re: Hebrew WP on a PC

You might want to checkout KEDIT by Mansfield Software Group.

They have a registered user BBS on which I once extracted a user-contributed
macro package that allowed Hebrew to be used as the text being edited.
I cannot use that language myself, so I can only report that it does
display Hebrew characters on the screen, with the cursor advancing from
right to left.  As to how useful it would be to a native speaker/writer,
I cannot tell.
