Hebrew support for i386 mechines
I wrote some hebrew support working under dos some few years ago ,
on an i386 keboard activitity activates irq 9 , if you hook this irq to tour
own program you can replace keystrokes (single keystroke) with a sequence of
ghost keystrokes which will produce some hebrew letter (or english/hebrew word)
when procesed by a program.(let's suppose this sequnce shold end with a few
arrow commands which will make the letters go from right to left under insert
mode)
since the irq table is not processed after boot by the kernel this should not
produce a problem if we use some wrierd keys (say the windows keys which we
never use (someone have a pinguin sticker?)) and as long as the new keystrokes
don't cause problems under another aplication (you can make an on/off button to
stop it )
I can write the irq handler (say a month or so) but i am not to good with
lyx/latex or other word-processor of your choice so i will start if there is
someone to help me.
the down side is that a much better support can be achived using a real heb WP
the good side is that this kind of application can be configured to work with
everything in about 10 minutes (almost every thing)
