Hi all!
	Is anyone have any success with this? If some one have,
please let me know and give me final reason to remove M$-OS
from my hard-drive finally... It seems at wine news group that
some people indeed run Winword6 under Wine pretty succesfully,
but what about Hebrew Word?

The problem with Hebrew MS-Word is that it requires the Hebrew version of Windows. Unlike the English version of Windows 3.11, which is the version that Wine tries to emulate, Hebrew Windows 3.11 has support for Right-to-left edit-boxes, list boxes and other controls, RTL text, and Hebrew characters input. It contains some procedures that aren't available in the English version and without which Word 6.0 won't be able to run.

As an alternative you might try to run Dagesh or Dagesh Lite, that do not require a Hebrew version of Win3.11 but can still write documents in Hebrew.
