Please visit this page: > http://www.m17n.org/emacs-bidi/index.html I'm well aware of your great work (I've contributed to its testing :-) It seems dormant at the moment and it would be nice to have a clear direction statement and a proposed "completion date" ;-) I simply saw that the "live" emacs version (21.3.+) was lacking Arabic support and opted to include it myself (wasn't sure what issues are involved in using your code (license, etc) and opted to create the patch myself - wasn't sure why the leim/quail support wasn't already included into emacs' main trunk, it should have been). Comparing the two files - yours looks fine too. Do please include either. Regards, - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
