353.0. "Ivrit b' otiot Ivrit???" by IAGO::SCHOELLER (Help! | !pleH) Mon Aug 31 1987 12:39

    As they say in Georgia, Shalom Y'all,

    I would like to start a note for conversations in Hebrew.  For those
    of us with Hebrew character sets I would like to suggest the following
    format.

    Introduction in English
    <FF>
    Ivrit b'otiot Ivrit (7 o 8 bits?)
    <FF>
    Transliteration (if desired?)
    <FF>
    Translation (required!!!!)

    Be warned, I am a BEGINNER.  Only 1 semester in Ulpan.

    L'hit,
    Gavriel

	Shalom, It would be very nice to correspond with people in Ivrit, where do I "sign up" for a Hebrew Character set. Lethitlerrot, Aryeh.

	RE .1 Shalom Aryeh, I have obtained a copy of VWS for my VAXstation which supports right-to- left mode and Hebrew character set. It is mentioned in a note above (308?). I am still waiting on the field-test right-to-left TPU. I am capable of putting together relatively simple stuff using the DCL CREATE command. This is not optimal. I can certainly notes but writing is difficult. L'hit, Gavriel

	A Hebrew ROM set for the Rainbow is available, as well as a Hebrew font ROM for the LA-50. Some time ago, I went as far as installing these ROMs, getting the system to work (no mean feat), marking up my LK-201 with little Hebrew stickers and printing out the complete Tamlil (Hebrew word processor) user's manual. I then discovered that I could no longer type in Hebrew... I then further discovered that BOOT (a Rainbow utility) refuses to work with the Hebrew ROM set... That was it... I continued to correspond with friends in English... So, should I now install the whole thing back in? How about writing in Hebrew, but using the English character set phonetically? This way, no one will be caught misspelling. Lemashal, lo kol cakh kashe likro shura zo, nakhon? Nitztarekh lehaskim al kama standartim. Ledugma, 'kh' metsayen et haot 'khet' ve 'tz' mtsayen 'tsadik'. (For instance, it's not too difficult to read this line, true? We'll have to agree on a few standards. For example, 'kh' will designate the letter 'khet' and 'tz' will designate 'tsadik'). -- Ron

	Hi Gavriel, Must be nice to have your own system, I am but a VT100 appendage tied in to a large vaxcluster, and the system mangler would definitely frown if I tried to install something other than English on his Vax. I could try to speak to you phonetically (sp?) ?? L'ehit, Aryeh.
