I use a Judaic text library called Judaic Classics, by Davka (http://www.davka.com), it is win32, but was written in prehistory, so it comes with a module to make it work in win 3.1. I also plan on purchasing the more modern Bar Ilan CD 9.0, which is a Judaic text collection far more comprehensive than the above. Both applications work in Windows without any Hebrew language packs, although I don't know whether Bar Ilan CD will do so in win95 or only in 98 or Me. (I don't have it yet, so I can only look at other people's installations) I assume that they implement their own bidi installation; they definitely come with their own fonts that are incompatible with other uses. Last time I tried to run Judaic Classics on Wine, it didn't work (but I may have messed up the fonts, and furthermore, this happened months ago or so). Note: the Bar Ilan CD uses a copy protection scheme which requires the original cd. I don't know how it works, but I assume that Wine needs the code to read something off the cd so that BI can match its authentication.
