We are very sorry, but I have not yet received the permission to
release the codes. Please be patient.
However, there is a good news. What we have asked is the permission
to release code that makes Emacs handle Arabic, and not "the code
attached below". While bureaucratic procedures go slowly, we
have successfully improved our code. Now it runs with the latest
version of Emacs and the character-joining algorithm is smarter than
before. Which means you will have a improved version.

Our code for displaying Arabic will eventually use their intelligent
bidi rendering algorithm. Currently, our code reoders the
right-to-left text in a very simple way.
Sorry again for the late procedure.
