To Prof. Murphy and LLTI subscribers:

This is in response to your question about Farsi on the Mac. I am not sure if it 
will help much, but we have a platform-independent Remote Collaboration Tool 
that is Open Source (see www.openrct.org) that can certainly display any UNICODE 
character, including Farsi, if the input is solved (or if input is from a PC it 
will show on the Mac).  

I have withheld notifying this group until our version had most of the features 
we really want to include (see Features page below the above web home page), but 
since it is already being used in second language courses on several California 
campuses, perhaps it is time to let you all know that this product is available 
(and free).

If you have questions, I would be happy to try to answer them. For your 
information, Professor Robert Blake, Director of the Second Language Acquisition 
Consortium of the University of California has submitted a proposal to develop 
a program for teaching Arabic using, among other things, OpenRCT. While tehre 
are a few more characters in Farsi, we defintely have the Arabic characters 
displayed on our screenshots page etc.
