Oriental scripts on a laserprinter and Macintosh or IBM PC
----------------------------------------------------------
 
The Oriental Institute in Oxford is considering a small network of
Macintoshes or IBM PC's linked to a local laserprinter and to
the Computing Service VAXes. The Macs or PCs would be used in a
teaching environment to interrogate databases of literary texts which
are stored on the VAXes. The results of the searches would be displayed
in the original script on the screen or on the laserprinter. The 
following languages are of interest: Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Aramaic,
Sanskrit, Armenian, Syriac, Hindi and possibly Chinese and Japanese.
 
Has anybody done anything which might be relevant, particularly
on the Macintosh and Laserwriter?
