You might like to look at some of the encoding conversion scripts at:

N.B. For sorting utf-8 Arabic you might find the perl module `Sort::ArbBiLex' useful
Thnx Richard; most of the scripts are beyond my capability;->, but the UTF8 to TeX / LaTeX scripts seem very useful for a possible transliteration module, which is something else I need to do for my journal, where people send in different transliteration conventions that I have to convert to the journal's convention. I'm ashamed to say it; I've been doing this kind of thing manually up to now; \startsuperhero must... learn... scripting... language... \stopsuperhero Thnx Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
