relatively ancient program, which I am trying to convert into something
sane. With the help of a Hex editor I have basically worked out the
file format except that it contains Hebrew characters with an odd
encoding.<br>
<br>
All characters are 8 bits. The "standard" 27 consonants (including
"final" consonants) go from hex <b>80</b> to <b>9A</b>. Then there
are <b>vowels</b> that seem to start around hex <b>9B</b> or so (I'm
guessing right after the standard consonants end). Then there are <b>"dotted"
consonants</b> that seem to start at hex <b>E0</b>.<br>
<br>
If I remember correctly, I think this is some sort of DOS encoding
(perhaps connected to the old "Hebrew chip"). Does anyone have a table
of this character mapping or a tool that will translate this mapping
into a more normal Hebrew encoding like Unicode?<br>
<br>
Thanks so much!<br>
