No, I think you misunderstood what I'm saying. > PuTTy already has a README. so we provide an arabic.txt... > btw PuTTy's binaries are distributed as 1 file, which is the binary > executable only... any README would only accompany the source... I didn't mean this will affect or reflect upon PuTTY's distribution. The intent is for us (Arabeyes) to keep things in order until such time that PuTTY accepts our work. Ahmad, do please subscribe to the 'cvs' mailing-list so you can be privy to what is taking shape on our CVS while your account gets setup. I will be adding 2 place-holder files on Arabeyes' PuTTY directory in CVS to show you'all the ropes, http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/projects/external/putty/ > > 2.

I wasn't on my PC to answer, plus the plan didn't call for shaping to be added just yet. As for why others didn't reply, I leave that to their conscious. BTW: easy on the dramatics. > do u think we really need to remove your code and use the one u > mentioned..??? I'd say yes, but we need to get the code that simply disables the shaping into CVS first and touch base with simon before proceeding on the shaping front and bidi.
