        An extension to LaTeX is available which will allow the user to
typeset simple Arabic documents.  These can then be printed on a laser
printer, or viewed using whatever dvi previewer you are used to.

        The package can be retrieved by anonymous ftp, as follows:

unix> ftp icsi-ftp.berkeley.edu
name: anonymous
Password:  <your name>
ftp> binary
ftp> cd pub/ai/atex
ftp> get atex.tar.Z
ftp> quit


        The tar file includes font files for Arabic.  If you also want the
MetaFont source for this font, it is available in YarbFont.Z in the same
directory.

        Hope it's useful,

                                                -- Terry Regier
