Hello Everyone!
I just noticed an interesting paragraph that Steve wrote in the  
acknowledgements section of the IMWA Conversion software...you can  
read this on the web under acknowledgements on this web page:

IMWA to ISWA Conversion Software
http://www.signpuddle.net/imwa_convert

What this shows is that Steve and I just worked really hard, but  
didn't know 100 per cent how it would convert until we tried it, and  
it converted really well...we are fortunate! Thank you Steve for this  
writing...it is fun to read and to realize...smile...

"Acknowledgments
When Valerie Sutton and I started working on the ISWA, I told her that  
she could reorganize the symbol set to her hearts content. Symbols  
could be moved and rearranged however she wanted. I am thankful that  
she believed me even though I had no idea how I was going to do it.  
She kept extensive notes for the changes she made. These notes were  
used to create the conversion data files. With a little hands on  
attention, the conversion data files worked amazingly well. The end  
result is a blessing." Steve Slevinski, Oct 21, 2008
