At least one-third of the world's population read and write from right-to-left... Arabic, sure, but it's the same for Hebrew. What's with you folks? BIDI support isn't new technology; heck, it's been with us since DOS. I've really got to ask -- why this arbitrary decision, when Win4Lin does support other languages/alphabets? If Microsoft sells Hebrew-enabled/localized versions of Windows3.1/95/98/NT4/2000, how's come NeTraverse doesn't even seem to be willing to consider supporting it in Win4Lin, let alone do it? Shoot, I've got friends here, who'll be glad to do it for you...
