I am looking for an Arabic word processor, which can switch between Arabic
and Roman. I was informed of one called El Katib. The second hand infor-
mation I have on it suggests that it might be somewhat difficult to use,
and that it might crash on higher end Macs. Apparently the manufacturer
of the program recommends their PC version of the same (the Mac version
*may* not be getting as much support--although this is just 2nd hand
speculation) more than the Mac version.
Any useful information on this or other products would be greatly
appreciated.

I was informed of one called El Katib. I use El Katib on my macintosh. El Katib had localized as Japanese version. It called AllScript-J. I also have AllScript-E english version of El Katib. Because both -J and -E version of them are released in the same master program disk. Of course the instruction manual are written in both Japanese and English. AllScript can handle Japanese, English and Arabic appropriately in the same line on your document. (RTL and LTR) There is the dealer's address in Japan. MAKI Enterprise Inc.

MAKI Enterprise Inc. send me a copy of latest version of AllScript. I called them when I have some question about the product, they can answer my question. I have been able to solve my problems. I recomend that you should get Arabic system software from MAKI Enterprise, beause there are some bugs on font handling in original Arabic system software from Apple. MAKI Enterprise knows how to fix it. -- SONY CORP. o- o- -o o- -o o- o- o- -o o- -- Takayama -o -- -- -o -o oo o- -o oo o- oo Yosihisa o- -o o- oo o- -o oo -o -o o- --
