Rashumon


Rashumon was a multilingual graphical word processor developed for the Amiga computer by an Israel-based company called HarmonySoft and was sold until after the demise of Commodore in 1994. Rashumon had particular support for Hebrew, Arabic and Russian as well as English, and it could send its text to speech synthesis in English.
Rashumon was the only word processor for the Amiga having the ability to create and edit multilingual documents. Rashumon printed using Type 1 PostScript fonts and it also supported Intellifont.

Name

Rashumon was named after a Japanese movie which had four different characters giving different versions of the same event. Amiga User International commented that this name seemed appropriate for a wordprocessor designed to support multiple languages.
