look for signs by symbol – especially if I get a message in ASL and have to
look for the meaning of a sign. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;">I see that you would love
to have a dictionary in sign order. – This is interesting. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;">I do not know what
categories would be first, second third – if I would go to sort all the signs.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;">Okay, when Valerie first came out with Sign Writing for
Everyday Use, we had an order to the signs within each group, following in a
logical order from straight to bent to curled. With the growth of the
system, handshapes have been added without a logical progression so that
missing ones may be inferred but there is no order to them. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;">For a complete dictionary, in sign order, then pushing
"Sign Frequency" will print them by group and in order of the numbers
of the codes, but that coding is not consistent across the board.</span></font></p>

then Group 2, then Group 3, then Group 4, but i also attempt to put the actual
handshapes in a logical order, and at the moment that varies from sign language
to sign language depending on which handshapes are actually used in the
language. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;">I am no software expert
whatsoever and it took me a long time to understand the tricks how to install
the DOS-Box proberly to work together with the SW 4.4 Program (except for
printing) . I wrote a short tutorial – </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;">Perhaps this can support
you in your efforts? </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;">In addition to that. It
takes some time to become an expert with this DOS – SignWriter 4.4
Program - you have to download and install the dictionary ... </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;">As Valerie mentioned
before – the SignPuddle software allows an easy way to create entries, to
create documents, to send emails written in SignWriting, to look up terms word
– to sign order and to look up signs – symbol –to sign order, you can search
for frequencies (what are the most often used symbols) .... </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><font size="3" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;"> I hope that
you all are doing well. I installed the DOSbox but I have problem in some DOS
commands like 'md \sw' in order to create f directory but I will keep trying I
think that is because I am using window 7 but I am not sure. and by the way I
used the ASL SignPuddle Dictionary and I really like but I don't wanna use
it in my project because I need to enter the sign writing manually because I
have to verify first if the entered character belong to the list of
sign-writing language or not and that is what we call it (the
lexical analyzer :-) and it is the first step to realize a compiler I will
let you updated of my researches </span></font></span><span lang="EN-GB"><br clear="all">
