Comment: Hello, My os is windows98 se. I can view different languages very well. However recently I found some useful programs in Arabic. But when i run them, characters simply don't appear.
I searched over the net and these forums, yet no solutions. I did find on computing.net an article about the file "MS DOS arabic support". The link didn't work and nowhere on internet i could find the file. If you can provide the link or a solution please inform me.AND ALSO ALERT ME. thank you very much

Reply: (edit)hello, i think you've misunderstood my question.
I want to be able to view arabic in MS-DOS, and not in windows. There are some MS-DOS arabic programs that i cannot run. It's not for internet. Thank You.
