What software is available for word processing in the Arabic language?
I want to write documents in Arabic on a Mac or IBM PC compatible
and transfer them between both types of machines with reliable screen
previewing and printing.

    What is the alphabet coding standard for Arabic?
    What word processing software and fonts are available?
    What is the best source of information on such questions?
    Any books, magazines, or individuals that I should contact?

Please reply by email as I don't read USENET frequently.
