1 INTRODUCTION
==============

This LaTeX package allows simple typesetting in Arabic script, intended for mixed Latin-Arabic script usage, in situations where heavy-duty solutions are discouraged.
The ض system operates with both Unicode and transliterated input, allowing the user to choose the most appropriate approach for every situation.

A paper describing the package has been submitted to TUGboat.
