I tested the putty.exe provided by Ahmad K. on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server today, and I got these
notes: 1. As I understood, it will not do shaping yet? which appears in the screen shot here: http://www.al-daleel.org/1.png when I view it with 'cat'. 2. When I try to open the same file with 'vi' and :set arabic, I see the display is corrupted (http://www.al-daleel.org/before.png).
3. The wierd thing is that when I just move the cursor over the lines, it becomes easily readable (http://www.al-daleel.org/after.png).
Hope this helps.
