In a couple of posts I've made over the last few weeks (answering other
articles), I've mentioned that there is a new version of MacInHebrew available.
 A number of people have sent me messages either asking for the information or
asking me to post the information into Usenet.  Well, here it is.

From the postcard I received which announced the new version:
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
		New! For Hebrew on the Macintosh.
		      MacInHebrew 4.0
		Works on all macs, Mac Plus or better!
 
Comes with several Hebrew/English fonts; will support laser fonts.  Works with
almost all word processor or graphics programs.

Cost is $60 for two disks, plus $5 postage and handling [I imagine those prices
are for US customers, other countries should probably write before sending any
money! -gad].  Total cost $65.  Deduct $10 from that if you are a registered
user of versions 2.0 or 2.1.

That's about all I know about it.  I sent for the upgrade (just last night...),
but haven't received it yet.  Even if I did have it I only dabble with Hebrew
from time-to-time, so I couldn't really give a reasonable review of how well it
works.  Version 2.1 (which I do have) worked pretty well with MacWrite, worked
okay with WriteNow, and didn't work very well at all with some other programs I
tried it on (I don't remember which ones, other than I can say those were the
only word processors I tried it with).

Hmm, what else should I say?  Usual disclaimers, I guess.  I have no
connections with MIT.  This article does not imply RPI endorses the product (or
even knows about it).  Your mileage may vary.  
Etc, etc, etc...

I originally mentioned MacInHebrew)
