<body class='hmmessage'><div style="text-align: left;">I'd like to help test it! Looking forward to having the programs separate . . . I won't have a problem downloading SignBank, though I just realized I will have to do it again since I've got a new hard drive. Anyway, I'd be happy to help!<br>KJ<br></div><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling"> > <br>> Yesterday I worked with Todd Duell, on SignBank, and we have decided <br>> that in the next few months we will separate SignBank into two <br>> separate programs, which will be easier for people to use and <br>> understand.<br>> <br>> 1. SignBank Dictionary Database<br>> for printing multi-lingual SignWriting dictionaries<br>> (provides multiple print formats for publishing dictionaries in all <br>> sizes)<br>> <br>> 2. SignBank Document Maker<br>> for printing multi-lingual SignWriting documents<br>> (provides multiple print formats for publishing literature in all sizes)<br>> <br>> BOTH programs will be standalone, and will not require the purchase <br>> of any other software. They will both be in FileMaker 8.5 and 9.0, <br>> but there will also be a Runtime that will be free. And although they <br>> work similarly, they will actually be completely independent of each <br>> other.<br>> <br>> BOTH will be coordinated with SignPuddle so that data can be imported <br>> or copied from SignPuddle 1.5.<br>> <br>> I only wish the two programs were separate right now! They are still <br>> one program, and it will take Todd a couple of full days work <br>> programming to make the two standalone programs...and I need to raise <br>> the funds for that project, but it will happen...I am determined!<br>> <br>> MEANWHILE....I am asking for your help. I need to test Document Maker <br>> the way it is right now, with some users, and I am asking if we can <br>> test it with all of you on the SignWriting List? Are there a few of <br>> you, who would like to learn to take a document already created in <br>> SignText, and learn how to print it as a document in Document Maker? <br>> It means you will have to download a very large file on the web <br>> (SignBank 8.5), to use it on your hard drive, and then I can teach <br>> you step by step how to print a document in different formats with <br>> the current Document Maker...and then your feedback will help me tell <br>> Todd new features that we need for the future standalone version...<br>> <br>> Anyone interested in testing Document Maker with me on the List?<br>> <br>> I will wait for replies and prepare lessons while I am waiting!<br>> <br>> Many thanks in advance -<br>> <br>> Val ;-)<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ____________________________________________<br>> <br>> SW-L SignWriting List<br>> <br>> Post Message<br>> SW-L@majordomo.valenciacc.edu<br>> <br>> List Archives and Help<br>> http://www.signwriting.org/forums/swlist/<br>> <br>> Change Email Settings<br>> http://majordomo.valenciacc.edu/mailman/listinfo/sw-l<br>> <br><br /><hr />Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
