We are working on a database proposal that would get SW and SignTyp to talk to one another, and with that, several other sign transcription systems.</div><div><br></div><div>Charles Butler</div><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><br><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><font size="2"
