Re: CXOffice, MS Office Hebrew version and SuSE 9.0 - Summary

Jeremy, the cxoffice list moderator wrote me a few times, but the gist of his remarks was to contact some folks here who were working on the bidi thing. I felt (correctly) that the problem was a system issue, rather than a Hebrew thing. There were two known problems: The failure of Office 2000 Pro to complete installation under 2.1 and my thing. Since I actually paid for and USE this stuff, I couldn't be bothered doing more than find a working solution. (You must use the 2.1 upgrade; 2.0 does NOT work under SuSE 9.0 vanilla. Dunno why, and now that I have the 2.1 - I don't really care. I got better things to do than debug commercial software.) Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Here's how: Can you use the same invocation of office to type both Hebrew and English, or does one of them go out backwards? My (Dimitri's) little script does it right. Also, as far as I could tell, CXOffice 2.1 is compiled without BiDi support. I have asked CodeWeavers to fix that for their next release. It probably doesn't matter that much, as Word does its own BiDi. Aha, that's why the above works.

Dimitry Timoshkov is one of the Wine/CrossOver developers. He is the one who worked on keyboard support in Wine, and also on some of the i18n stuff. No one else was involved. (The Hebrew issue is pretty local!) Jeremy, the cxoffice list moderator wrote me a few times, Both Dimitry and Jeremy are non-unique names in the Wine project. Jeremy is even non-unique in Code Weavers. In this case wer'e talking about Jeremy Newman, who is their sysadmin (as opposed to Jeremy White, who is the CEO and founder). I got better things to do than debug commercial software.) I hope you do. While this is 100% commercial software, it is not 100% proprietary. In this particular case, the Office problem, last time I looked at it, boiled down to a keyboard language reporting problem. This problem is in a piece of code shared by CrossOver and Wine, and so the problem is not proprietary after all.
