We tried MacInHebrew a week ago (old 1986 version) and it wouldn't work with system 6.0. MacInHebrew works by replacing the TextEdit toolbox routines with routines that accept and print text right to left. It is really strange. You can switch from right/left to left/right at any time. You can even plot some characters on the left end of a line, some on the right, then some of the left, etc. Almost all sophisticated word processors do not use TextEdit because of its 32K limit on the maximum amount of text that can be edited. For example, it won't work with ms-word. Almost all draw programs DO use text edit so MacInHebrew should work with these programs.
