I have a problem with my SMTP server and hence can not send email from my regular account. So I am not posting this to the ML, but feel free to forward my comment below it to the list. I have not been following the discussion very tightly, but I think that Mr. Everson misunderstood the context of the discussion. I can confirm that you are right. In linguistic circles "Perso-Arabic script" is used to refer to the modified Arabic script used in Iran to write Farsi (Persian). Greetings, Arash __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
