Anyone heard of InPage? It was probably the first publishing software for Urdu. Guess who wrote it? No, not some wiz kid from Karachi University, or a group of calligraphers and programmers in a small office in Lahore (as most stories about computers tend to go). It was written by…

Back in those times word processing wasnt perfected and urdu fonts were a big pain to work with because of the way the script is. We had some really smart blokes, but word processing wasnt their cup of tea. I knew someone a long time ago in the early 90s who worked with nastaliq fonts and was his word processor was alot better than inpage, but the company who bought it did not release it as a commercial venture, only for publishing usage.
Hey Teen, ddi you know the worlds FIRST ever computer virus (not WORM) was actually invented by a Pakistani named Basit Brain (computer virus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia back in 1986 
well said :k:
Nope the first virus was Creeper Virus… written in the 70s .. It infected TENEX OS. Creeper gain access through ARPANET and copied to other machines.
In those days a program called Reaper developed to get rid of creeper !
You can read further here about it:
Thomas Chen, Jean-Marc Robert ‘Evolution of Viruses and Worms’ (VX heavens)
err firenze, an operating system called TENEX does not count. The authorities in viruses, call Brain he first computer virus because there was nothing before that for MS-DOS. Trust me, when Brain came out, the Pentagon freaked out.

Yaara we are talking about history here... and it does n't matter ...k pentagon ki pant gone ho gai... ya nahi..
brain wasn't the first virus, and yes TENEX count. It was one of the first Mainframe OS. Microsoft ki main frame mein entry abhi 2 saal pehley start hoi hia.. !

Urdu is there language also .. they probably have more Urdu speaking people than Pakistan .. so I wont be surprised if Concept Software already had the ground work done even before Pakistani newspaper contacted them
Re: After reading this, please hang heads in shame.
all the Islamic art you see is not all made by the Muslims. especially the byzantine ones were usually crafted by Christians and Jews.
if you see the renovations of Khana Kaaba, and Masjid-e-Navi you will see almost everything is imported, even the laborers.
whats a big deal :S
Waisey, Allama Iqbal was an Indian... not a Pakistani ;)
And Mahatma Gandhi was a South African not an Indian!
