Hi,
When I was a kid, I used a word processor called Qtext on my dos
machine. It was a freeware written by an Israeli guy, and had a better
(by far) bidi support than any alternative I knew.

Yesterday, I discovered that I work with the guy who wrote it in the
same room. He told me that Qtext still exists, it is no longer a
freeware (it belongs to his kibutz) and that it still has the best bidi
support (they have only a window$ version). He also told me that the
developement of Qtext has stopped, since people seem to prefer M$ word
(apparently for the same obscure reasons they prefer other M$ 
software :). Anyway, he told me that they might be willing to sell the
source. Since they ceased developing it, I guess the price won't be very
high, and if it is possible to port it to linux, this might be the best
bidi word processor we have (it also supports Arabic and nikud).

My question is, is there someone who might want to fund it?

Moshe
