[sword-devel] Hebrew Input help

[Yeshiah Zalman]

OK now rather than use a separate program for Hebrew entry I have a better solution. Greek does not present this same problem.   We
simply need a routine which will read the input text from the SearchTextBox, copy to a buffer,  remapp the text, and reverse the
result. THEN past back to the search box.   I wrote a DOS C converter program some years ago. Here is the conversion routing I used.
Perhaps it could be modified (I am not qualified here) and then a button in the search form could be added.

Then anyone using the Hebrew modules would be able to search without the need for an external program?

     old = fgetc(src);            /* read 1 byte  */

              new=old;
