Subject: foreign system software

 Sorry to interrupt the outcry concerning the fact that Apple are actually
charging for a major system upgrade and manuals but I would appreciate
some advice on using foreign system software.

 I would like to set up a Persian (Farsi) system for my father-in-law
(and thereby keep me in the good books for a couple of weeks...), I have
the Persian system version 6.0.3 but I need some advice on some programs
that will work with the right-to-left Farsi script.

 Does HyperCard work with this arrangement, I have 2.0v2 which won't run
with 6.0.3 (it needs >= 6.0.5) so can anyone tell me if version 1.2.5
will work?

 Thank you in advance.

 Regards,
 Malcolm
