Subject: DOS based text editor query

Hello,

I'm looking for a DOS based text editor that supports extended ASCII
characters for Arabic. It doesn't have to be shareware, but it must run
in DOS. Unfortunately, for the specialized purposes of what I'm trying,
only DOS will do. I need this because the obscure program that I'm
using, you write the source code in normal ASCII characters, and then
what you want to actually be displayed to the user must also be in ASCII
or extended ASCII, so specialized external fonts don't work, and I need
the user text to be displayed in Arabic script. I know that several
versions of this exist for Unix, but I haven't seen any for DOS. Any
suggestions anyone has would be much appreciated.

Thanks
