- Bilingual English/Arabic Extension to XENIX/UNIX
-
- ARABIX is a system-level software package that provides full bilingual
- English/Arabic operating system user interface and applications environment.
- ARABIX consists of an enhanced Bourne Shell, a selection of UNIX tools and
- utilities enhanced to run in a bilingual mode including the UNIX editors ``ed''
- and ``vi'' and extended kernel facilities to perform bilingual keyboard
- mapping, display processing, and terminal handling, supporting a variety of I/O
- devices. The ARABIX Shell allows users to interact with SCO XENIX in the
- language of their choice with full language interchangeability at the command
- line, file, programming, and applications level. Shell and XENIX system command
- messages are displayed in the user local language. The user can switch from a
- QWERTY to an Arabic Standard Keyboard with one keystroke. ARABIX offers full
- transparency. An 8-bit application running under XENIX/UNIX and ARABIX will
- inherit all the OS-level bilingual capabilities. Thus, a user can run an
- off-the-shelf English application in an Arabic/English mode instantly with no
- modifications. ARABIC co-resides with SCO XENIX/UNIX and causes no interference.
