RE: Arabic Script converting Between different Code Pages

[Michael Kaplan (Trigeminal Inc.)]

If you are on a Microsoft platform and have the code page support for the
arabic code page, then a simple MultiByteToWideChar call will take care of
it. Here are the code page numbers to use:

Arabic (ASMO 708):              708
Arabic (DOS):           720
Arabic (ISO):           28596
Arabic (Mac):           10004
Arabic (Windows):               1256

The Mac one seem to require windows 2000, although perhaps MLang would allow
the conversion using its libraries if you have it installed (comes with
IE4/IE5, etc.).
