MacInHebrew was done by someone connected to MIT, if I remember right. Note
that there is a new version of this just out (I got a postcard about version
4.0 sometime in the last month, as I am registered for the earlier version).
The success of the earlier version depends on what application you are trying
to use it with. As I remember, it worked great with MacWrite, okay with
WriteNow, and pretty lousy with some text editor I had at the time.
If you're looking for a separate word processor which does Hebrew, there is a
company in Chicago called Davka which sells some. They have a number of other
Hebrew/Jewish products for the Mac (and even others for the PC). I don't have
the information here at work though, so I can't give you the details. If no
one else comes up with the info, send me a message and I'll dig it up from
home.
