ah, just make the file yourself, i missed that :)


about emacs-bidi, it crashes. crashes when mouse rolls over menu.
no news i know. i tried DDD on it but after 1 hour i just got really
bored, and was getting no where.
the way i see it, it needs to be debugged by the person who wrote
it, or someone familiar with emacs. im afraid it would take me months
to fix it.

the only thing i can help with (or probably think i can), is work on
the emacs-unicode branch and add some Bidi library to emacs, like
FriBidi, minibidi. and then just reorder the text buffer somewhere
on its way to the display function.

if you need testing, or any other help post to developer at arabeyes dot org


ak.
