SignWriter DOS, SignWriter Java, SignWriter Python and SignWriter Tiger are four different versions of the same program...SignWriter is a typing program with a dictionary, and is really a wondeful way to type and learn and publish with SignWriting...I love SignWriter and hope someday that Tiger will be ready so we can type in modern operating systems!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Meanwhile, other people around the world are developing other kinds of software too. In my case, I chose to develop a program called SignBank, which is not a typing program, but is a dictionary-database built in the FileMaker database program. And SignPuddle is also another kind of database, but it is on the web and is quite immediate and fun to use!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Someday, when SignWriter Tiger is developed, the SignWriter DOS files will be able to be opened and used again, but in Windows XP! Yeah!!! So, Nana and Marian, please do not throw out your old SignWriter DOS files, since they will be usable again someday!!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>But right now I will be happy to teach you how to paste signs from SignPuddle into SignBank ;-))</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>See next message....</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Val ;-)</DIV></BODY></HTML>
