[HECnet] Non ASCII fonts on VMS?

[Sampsa Laine]

Yeah I was thinking of typing up some Arabic documents in say EDIT and using TYPE to view them - but Terminal.app doesn't seem to pass the Arabic letters across correctly.

Is it possible to use say Arabic or Hebrew script on VMS - I don't mean for DCL of course but for editing text files etc.

Or does this require DECWindows?

What do you mean? Just displaying text, or are you looking for some software that actually would understand any of it.
I mean, you could just use a different character encoding, and just output the bytes you want, and have your terminal show anything.
