There is a small company in France which is making lot of Arabic Software.

Their name is WinSoft and their address is:

WINSOFT
34, Boulevard de l'Esplanade
38000 GRENOBLE 
FRANCE
Phone: 33 76 87 56 01
Telex 320 546 F

As far as I remember, they have a text processor (WinText), an
organizer WinIdea(like More), a Database manager (WinFile), and other
stuff...

As far as I know, they do not have any American distributor, I think
they were looking for one,

All their softs work both in standard langage (english, french, etc)
*and* in Arab. It is actually very funny to see this fancy characters
from left to right on your screen.

Last time I was in France, I visited them, and I was fairly impressed
by their softs.

I have no connection with these people, except that most of them are
my friends... If you call them, say hello from Felix (you might even
get a discount...)
