Abstract

In the Arab world the need for bilingual microcomputer systems is ever increasing. In addition to the ability to process the Arabic and English scripts, an ideal system should support the use of existing applications with Arabic data and the access to the system facilities through Arabic interfaces. The Integrated Arabic System (IAS) was developed to study the feasibility of building such systems using existing microcomputers and software solutions.
