Many members and students have requested the link to the article titled
"Arabicizing Your Computer."  You can access it via the link below.
However, you will need the program, Adobe Acrobat, installed on your
computer to read this PDF file.  If you do not have Adobe Acrobat
installed, you can access the article in HTML format by searching for
it by name on www.google.com. Feel free to link to this article from
your web site, for ease of access.

For those of you looking for an Arabic QWERTY keybord layout, you can
donload one from http://zsigri.tripod.com/fontboard/index.html  Since
many of you do not type in Arabic everyday, you may find the phonetic
keyboard more useful and much more intuitive.

Finally,
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx  also
offers a nice description (with screen shots) of how to enable
International Support in Windows XP.
