Arabic Pad

Writing Arabic with non Arabic windows or keyboard can be a frustrating jobs. But with Arabic Pad, this can be done easily. Arabic Pad is a simple
editor like notepad, but designed to write Arabic [Unicode] text , especially for Non Windows Arabic. I hope that with this program write Arabic is more
easily, by customizing the keyboard key so its close to the Arabic letter sound.
