Subject: Arabic support in Kermit

Hello,
I am trying to find out about support for Arabic in Kermit, in particular the
version for Windows 95/98.
Currently, we display Arabic records from our bibliographic catalog on
terminals capable of displaying a special font. But we are gradually phasing
out our terminals, replacing them with PCs, and there the font won't work.
There is a terminal-emulation program, Reflection, that supports Arabic well
enough, but the cost for the number of stations we'd need to install it on
is prohibitive. So, the idea came up of checking out Kermit.
The website at Columbia implies that Arabic is not yet supported (it's on the
wish-list), but I wondered whether there have has been any work done, by the
Kermit staff or outside collaborators.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
