Stuart,

   Thanks for the encouraging message!

   We trust wxWindows :-) so I have to say it should compile for Mac and
Linux. We have just once compiled for Linux and a few adjustments had to be
made. I suspect that for Mac a few more would be necessary, since it seems
that the support for Mac is the weakest in wxWindows. But it should not be a
real trouble for someone expert in Mac programming.

   We are so attached to the A4 format that I simply forgot the US-letter
format :-(   It has no explicit setting for US paper. I have no idea if it
will reformat the page automatically. Better solution would be to have an
explicit control in the program. Will have to wait for a new version. Sorry
for that too!

   No, unfortunately no. This is something all programs will have to have in
the future. At the moment, it is completely isolated from SignWriter.

   It's my pleasure to get so positive returns!

   All the best,
