Sybase 12.5 Arabic character set problem

Our client has a Sybase 12.5 database that has Arabic data,it's installed on a Windows NT 2000 machine.

we need to connect to it from our server,using a tool like "Sql Developer" or "TOAD for Sybase"

the problem is : both can't read the Srabic characters properly,Latin letters appear instead

-We tried changing the "character set" in the client application to be "CP1256" or "Unicode",

but this failed because the Sybase database doesn't has these charsets

-We have done some investigation on the database,the default charset is "CP850"

-The installed charsets on the database are as follows:

ascii_8

defaultml

iso_1

cp850

utf8bin

bin_iso_1

bin_cp850

binary

(.. and some other charsets for other unrelated languages)

-We think that installing some Arabic charsets would solve the issue ,but we aren't very

sure about that

-The Sybase installation on our client's machine is working well,but it might be missing some files,you might

have to re-install it

Please propose a solution to the issue,while providing the estimated duration
