After reading the mentioned article in Maariv, and making some phone
calls, I want to correct one detail in what I wrote to Omer Zak (to
avoid yet another flames, the word "I" will be replaced by the word
"Somebody" and the word "my" will be replaced by the word
"Somebody's"):
Indeed, the Hetz project ("Arrow") uses Somebody's implementation of
the Hebrew/BiDi support for Motif, but only in minor parts; The major
part is based on the implementation of IBM.
The facts in the article of Ben Caspit, sadly to say, are probably
correct. Ben is not technical, so some minor facts are not exact, and
some other bothering facts are missing, but the story is true.
I want to thank Omer for opening the thread; Nobody told me before
about that article (everybody was busy writing talkbacks about "why
couldn't any Israeli develop Hebrew support for Motif?" ;-)
Thanks to Omer's port, I read the story in Maariv. If there is an
interest from the public, I'll write some other details somewhere
(whatsup.co.il?). Though I feel that there is no interest (and there
was no follow-up in the media for Ben's scoop). Of course, all the
details that were learnt of thanks to my own connections with the sides
(all are customers of Somebody), will go with me to my grave.
