\def \abstractname {Overview}

\begin{abstract}
\ArabTeX\ is a package extending the capabilities of \TeX/\LaTeX\
to generate the Arabic writing from an ASCII transliteration
for texts in several languages using the Arabic script.
It consists of a \TeX\ macro package and an Arabic font in several sizes,
presently only available in the Naskhi style.
\ArabTeX\ will run with Plain \TeX\ and also with \LaTeX.
It is compatible with NFSS, NFSS2 and the EDMAC package;
other additions to \TeX\ have not been tried.

\ArabTeX\ is primarily intended for generating the Arabic writing,
but the standard scientific transliteration can also be easily produced.
For languages other than Arabic that are customarily written in
the Arabic script some limited support is available.

\ArabTeX\ defines its own input notation which is both machine, and
human, readable, and suited for electronic transmission and
Email communication.
However, texts in some of the Arabic standard encodings
can also be processed.

\ArabTeX\ is copyrighted, but free use for scientific, experimental and
other strictly private, noncommercial purposes is granted.
Offprints of publications using \ArabTeX\ are welcome.
Using \ArabTeX\ otherwise requires a license agreement.
There is no warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.
The entire risk as to the quality and performance
rests with the user.
