- I think there is a Hebrew font available for Windows, as well as
- a multi-lingual word processor for Windows. But for straight DOS?
- Nothing that I am aware of. Someone may have whomped up a Hebrew
- character set, but the software would have to be rewritten to
- make actual Hebraic words.... (i.e. The word "File" in WordPerfect
- help would appear as $!@# (or whatever), using the bitmaps defined
- in the character set for the letters 'F' 'i' 'l' and 'e' respectively.
- It would not translate automatically into whatever the Hebrew word
- for "File" was....)
