Connie Bobroff of Wahington University
has kindly suggested that I bring
our ScriptMaster software products PerScript and PerScribe to the attention
of list members who would like to type Farsi using a US/European OS.
For most users, particularly those
with Windows XP or Windows 2000,
**PerScript** is more appropriate. It allows you to type (more or less!)
phonetically right-to-left in a text box. The [Unicode] Persian text can then
be saved as HTML or, if your system has Farsi-language support, pasted into
Word for further processing. For more details and an online demo, please
see:

If you are running Windows 98 you
can still use PerScript to generate HTML
-- but you won't be able to use Word (for example, Word 97) for further
processing. If you really want to produce a Persian document in Word you
will have to use our other product, **PerScribe**, which is a bit more
complicated and in effect "tricks" Word into displaying Persian correctly.
The .doc file will print out correctly, but may look strange if viewed with a
WXP/W2K system. For details, please see:

I would be happy to answer any questions
about these programs.
