First of all:sorry and my apologies for any inconvenience
caused. Secondly let me ensure you that it was not my intention not to
give the credit the people who deserve t.

I just took the file modified it a bit, changed the encoding system and
sent it to xemacs-patches, Aidan just submitted this file into the
system.


 
However in the hebrew.el file itself there is no author mentioned. May I
suggest to add it right there and not bury it in some ChangeLog files? 
That would avoid these sort of misunderstandings.

I propose to add Yair Friedman is the main author in the hebrew.el file.
I hope this is ok with him and you.

I don't think there is any intention in this direction, but I can only
speak for myself, of course. 


regards

Uwe
