Over the past few years, I've been looking for Hebrew support for the
PocketPC. They were all expensive (around $100). There was one limited
support program for PPC2002 only. A few days ago I found these.

How do these compare to the expensive programs -- and how do these two
compare? Has anyone used them? Only one of them has a demo.

are comprehensive lists...

I just tried the demo of the Piloc software (Hebrew LeNG). The demo
isn't complete - so I emailed support the following issues I had so
far.

When I type and place punctuation at the end of the sentence, it places
it in the beginning of the sentence.

When I wrote a Hebrew Word document - Activesync refuses to sync it.

Can Word Completion and Character Recognizer work in the demo? I can't
get it to work and can't find the manual to look it up!

The Ectaco Hebrew/English dictionary was messed up after this was
installed. I can't read the Hebrew. I Emailed both companies about
this.

Also, sending email from the PPC, didn't show up properly on the PC. I
emailed Paragon.

Ectaco replied to speak to the Hebrew LEng developer...
and they have yet to reply to the email...

I was expecting at least Helio to answer this thread! :-)
