Hi Stefan,<br>
<br>
Not to worry. We'll figure this out. As far as I can tell, the
conversion from the IMWA to the ISWA was nearly flawless.<br>
<br>
I've saved the pre-conversion SignPuddle 1.5 data based on the IMWA so
we can compare and reconvert if needed.<br>
<br>
I've compared the German puddle based on the IMWA and the ISWA and I
don't see any conversion problems other than a slight positioning
problem for a couple of signs.<br>
<br>
Can you send me a list of a couple of signs that are incorrect?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
-Steve<br>

guess that some great
step forward like adding all these wonderfull new symbols to the ISWA
have
some minor disadvantages .like this .. so far as I could see lots and
lots of spelling
mistakes occur now because there is a new order in the facial – tongue
–
sequence, maybe the thumb-symbol is affected as well . Since we Germans
need
these Mundbilder so badly it is clear that this is a problem.. What is
to be
done? Do you think we should take the German Puddle from public use? Is
there
an option that only people with a special password can get access – so
that
we will get the chance to slowly, slowly repair all these mistakes?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

am sorry that I have to

solution to this problem. What I do not know – do you think that
somebody
needs these “Mundbilder” isolated from the head-circle? (I guess
this additional option causes the problem) At least I made some
experiments in
the past and learned from that that the best way to read a sequence of
different Mundbilder fluently is to write the circle for the head as
well ... as
we do ... <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
