Hello Anny and Everyone!<BR>
I don't know the answer to that yet, Anny, since Todd is coming Tuesday afternoon and we have to talk through what can and can't be done....<BR>
<BR>
If we can get a version that works for older operating systems that will be great, but there is no question that if you were running Mac OS X you would have more features in SignBank...<BR>
<BR>
Any old version we can create will be more limited, because Mac OS X has more possibilities...<BR>
<BR>
So that is why, if you were willing to upgrade to Mac OS X, it would be to your advantage...With Mac OS X, you can access Mac OS 9 programs from the computer you have right now...be sure to back all your files up, by placing them on a separate hard drive. Then install Mac OS X, and then once it is running, you can install all your old Mac OS 9 software in the Mac Classic section of the computer and you have not lost anything...but gained a modern operating system...and a better version of SignBank!<BR>
<BR>
On the other hand, it is a lot of work to upgrade...so I will inform you on Wednesday what Todd and I accomplished regarding the old SignBank...<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your patience -<BR>
