I want to link a special edition, or package bundle, of Adobe InDesign CS3 ME (Middle East version copyright by WinSoft of Grenoble, France [hi, Kamel]) to Adobe InDesign Plug-in technology, a custom-made cross-platform keyboard driver, a set of super-intelligent MS Volt generated Biblical Hebrew (up to five zero-width glyph overstrikes) typeface software (known as 'fonts'- I also went to visit two professors at RIT Print Dept. (hi, Thomas - you came there after I left {I'm sorry for not leaving the light, but I was in a rush}) and Imaging/paper dept. {imagine whats buried in Italy?: drawings by Bodoni and his students! [by the way, the Romm family father traveled from Lithuania in the 1800's to commission some of them to punch cut him a design based upon old Sephardic drawings of letters}) near Rochester, NY, and also David Perlow (sp) in one of the best type libraries outside of Paris, who himself grew up in from Crown Heights, Brooklyn as a kid, and its where I now live - wow, isn't it a small world? - I think I getting to sound like Jack Kerouac with all subterranean tangents) Adobe InDesign CS3 and Unicode 5 compatible OpenType fonts, using an older now defunct but proven Adobe ContentServer-like technology.

Can anyone at Adobe please help me? You guys are smart. What I'm saying is doable.

I will sign any NDA you desire, if you sign mine; I will license ContentServer technologyy from Adobe, if need be; I am prepared to compensate you generously for successful implementation from marketing proceeds (its gotta work) with a written contract.

If the party is not Jewish, then imagine this tecnology will be a boom for for Bible study in Ancient Greek afterwards, and Thai, and Vietnamese, etc. etc., and your reward and compensation could linked to whatever you want after Biblical Hebrew because it has a much bigger market worldwide than little itty-bitty Biblical Hebrew.

[The are at least 10 to 1 {maybe 100-1} Bible-belt Christians in the USA alone, who need this very same technology than Orthodox Jews (they are basically the size and growth rate as Israelis - figure it out - and if you are Muslim, this very same technology could be used either in Arabic and all its ligatures and accent marks for studing the Koran, or on Urdu/Persian (Afganistan and Irag, US govt. people), instead of the Bible.

In fact, Adil from Ready Set Go International or Global (see www.diwan.com - hi Adil, you're getting free advertising), demo-ed in his hotel room at the Hilton near O'Hare Airport in Washington, DC a CD that his company made for the Saudis to teach Koran in a creative and exciting way. He flew in from London, and I flew in from JFK.

I wish every Arab was as fine a person as him - our common great etc grandfather Abraham (Avrohom - Ibriham) would have been proud of him and of what he did with former Manhattan Graphics technology that his father bought from the author/owner {There are over 100-1 Muslims to Ortho. Jews, maybe 250 to 1 - Jews were the his higly respected Muslims caligraphers and poets in the Golden Age when Arabs tried to dominate the world -

for example, after Maimonides was expelled from his birthplace in Spain and forced to relocate penniless in nearby North Africa, and his wife died from the stress and disease of the travel, he did not jump into the Atlantic Ocean, but he rather moved to Egypt, where he was the Sultan/King's personal physician on account of his brilliant knowledge of medicine which until today is only support in part by modern medicine, and perhapds in 50 years it will be 100% support by modern medicine; although the Arab empire forced millions of Christians to convert to Islam (or be be-headed), they decided not to mess around with Allah's chosen people, not to evoke Allah's wrath upon them, unlike many Catholics through the generation until even recently, Nazis or Communists. whhh!]

In short, its a very market, and I would scratch your back, if you'd scrath mine, so to speak.

SUMMARY: Cross platform. Unicode compliant. CS3 or 4 compatible. "plug-in" to InDesign or written into its code like ME (hi, Kamel: how's Pierre?). supports advanced MS Volt OpenType. linked to keybaord driver. Needs ContentServer-like technology to register all necessary componamnts to user's CPU like Apple iTunes but this is more that Adobe PDF/eBooks.

GH,

Your enthusiasm aside, two points, if I may, for better communication within the context of these forums. 

      Can anyone at Adobe please help me? You guys are smart.




1. You are not addressing Adobe here -- just Adobe software users like you.

2. I lost interest in your problem midway through your extensive rambling. Please leave the personal greetings, extensive historic background, and asides out of your posts and simply get to the point (more like you did in post 2).

Thanks.

Neil

Neil,

Thank you for your post.

I chose to use this forum because Adobe users and Adobe employees read it, and may help me.

I ramble because my mind races in a linear way, and goes off on tangents along the path, but eventually returns to the central path.

Thats why I summarize in short technical manner.

Is this explanation sufficient?

GH, 

      I ramble because my mind races in a linear way, and goes off on tangents
      along the path...




I hear you. But as both a very long-term member of these forums and as a Forum Host, I am trying to tell you how to get the best response to your issues within the context of these Forums: focus directly on the issue at hand, and realize you are addressing your peers. 

      I chose to use this forum because Adobe users and Adobe employees read
      it, and may help me.




Nope. Please re-read my previous response. Thomas Phinney is highly respected and he does post from time to time, which is most appreciated. But he is a rare exception.

Thanks.

Neil

As a (lurking) Adobe employee, I would strongly recommend that you start by looking at <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/> and see if that begins to fulfill your needs. Beyond that, you will likely need to engage primarily Winsoft and then Adobe in your discussions since InDesign ME is Winsoft's product under license from Adobe. This forum is absolutely not where you can "do business."

Neil and Dov,

Thank you for valuable feedback. I might be barking up the wrong tree.

However, WinSoft is connected to Adobe by more than a mere license. One technology person at WinSoft was also loaned for hire to Adobe possibly in exchange for the code to InDesign granted to WinSoft to integrate their ME plug-in into the InDesign code.

Plus Adobe through WinSoft tried to purchase Diwan lock stock and barrel and its Manhattan Graphics technology in Adil's bi-directional manner, like WinSoft's ME, but much more intuitive Quark-like user interface than Adobe InDesign. Likely, Adobe thought Diwan could destroy if they could afford it.

For example, if Quark bought Diwan and released Quark Plus for double the price, perhap[s Adobe would eventually fail and fold. I don't that could ever happen, but it was Adobe's fear.

The ME factor is fascinating, really brilliant (be proud, Kamel) because the needs of every language of the world are addressed though IDME, OpenType, and Unicode, fulfilling the original dreams and plans for Adobe PostScript by Warnock and Geschke, the founders of Adobe with Apple under John Scully.

Now, Adil showed me something in Washington similar to Steve Jobs' cisit to PARC, similar Warnock and Geschke's plans for Adobe based om PARC ideas (are they from PARC?)

I'm simply asking Adobe (not WinSoft, Dov Ber) first to help me. Don't repeat Xerox's mistakes. Perhaps, I'll turn for help to Fred Ibrahami of Quark instead of Pierre and Caroline at Winsoft.
