    scrutinizer, i has offtop question.
    You know any info about Hebrew DOS 5?
    We has only drivers for support Hebrew-language in DOS5 text mode (from MSDN disk).
    Does exist full localized release? This is used dongle or don't? May be you has install files?
    Thank you!

    Hebrew-DOS was a failed attempt to localize DOS. It was never really used anywhere.
    I never saw any software that required it and there's no technical reason for this to ever have happened...

    We has ADOS/Arabic DOS 3.3. We cannot try this as this version requires a dongle.
    Also, i was seen box photo of HDOS 3.3, for this version also need dongle.
    Also, in community available Arabic/Hebrew additionals for DOS5 (from MSDN CD).
    I think, also exist full localizations.
    I think, that BiDi DOS it's was don't good idea.
    But my interest, how working texting BiDi mode.
  • scrutinizerscrutinizer
    BiDi mode in DOS was supported by the applications themselves.
    The most common Hebrew-Supporting Word Processors for DOS were

    - EinsteinWriter
    - Wordmill
    - AlephBet
    - Qtext (probably the most common, and an excellent piece of software)
    - WordPerfect

    For info.
    scrutinizer, in Old-DOS available another Hebrew-editor. It's shareware editor Multi-Edit 4.13 (i think, this unofficial localize).
