In a couple of posts I've made over the last few weeks (answering other articles), I've mentioned that there is a new version of MacInHebrew available. A number of people have sent me messages either asking for the information or asking me to post the information into Usenet. Well, here it is. From the postcard I received which announced the new version: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - New! For Hebrew on the Macintosh. MacInHebrew 4.0 Works on all macs, Mac Plus or better! Comes with several Hebrew/English fonts; will support laser fonts. Works with almost all word processor or graphics programs. Cost is $60 for two disks, plus $5 postage and handling [I imagine those prices are for US customers, other countries should probably write before sending any money! -gad]. Total cost $65. Deduct $10 from that if you are a registered user of versions 2.0 or 2.1. Address: MacInHebrew MIT Hillel Foundation 312 Memorial Drive Cambridge, MA 02139 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - That's about all I know about it. I sent for the upgrade (just last night...), but haven't received it yet. Even if I did have it I only dabble with Hebrew from time-to-time, so I couldn't really give a reasonable review of how well it works. Version 2.1 (which I do have) worked pretty well with MacWrite, worked okay with WriteNow, and didn't work very well at all with some other programs I tried it on (I don't remember which ones, other than I can say those were the only word processors I tried it with). Hmm, what else should I say? Usual disclaimers, I guess. I have no connections with MIT. This article does not imply RPI endorses the product (or even knows about it). Your mileage may vary. Etc, etc, etc... Garance_Drosehn@mts.rpi.edu (not sure if this should be cross-posted, but I don't remember which newsgroup I originally mentioned MacInHebrew)
