    Roman Czyborra's arabjoin (a Perl script):

    http://czyborra.com/arabjoin/

    It does the conversion to Arabic Presentation Forms. But also, which may not
    be what you need, it converts logically-ordered Arabic to visual order; this
    for display on systems that support neither BiDi nor Arabic shaping.
