Hello Ghita,

       I am sending along some c code that I have written, that does  
some
various codepage conversions for Arabic, including transliterating  
Arabic
into and out of the semi-Standard Buckwalter transliteration.  I am also
including some ridiculoualy simple Perl scripts that run under perl 5.8+
that make the c code obsolete.

       For extremely good measure, I hereby present some web links  
that I
know and love.

       I hope that I understood correctly what it was you were  
looking for.

Good luck!
Cheers,

I have written a (ridiculously simple) Perl script that will change  
Arabic to transliteration and back, with any transliteration system  
that has a one to one correspondence to the Arabic letters (a unique  
latin character for every unique arabic character).  I have  
implemented it as a bbedit filter, which means you can simply choose  
the text, click a button, and it instantly makes the change.  It  
would also work with text wrangler, the free, downloadable version of  
bbedit.  This is on a mac, os x.  I would be happy to make it  
available to anyone who is interested.
