DOS-program was the possibility to write the mouthed 'words' near the mouth,
rather than using the later invention of Mundbildschrift', for those signed
languages that use a lot of mouthing in the signs. Norwegian SL uses mouthing a
lot, especially for nouns. Signs that are the same in the hands and other

claims to have no homonyms (two or more signs that look exatly the same but

style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi Charles,<br>
I just tried out SignWriter DOS to see exactly what you
are talking about. I see you can type right over a sign if you
want to, below, above and if you type a long sentence the other signs move
over. Is it important for you that the be place on top of the signs
too? Or is it more important for you to be able to write some text,
then some signs, then some text, etc?<br>
Had I realized that so many just LOVE the old SignWriter
Dos I may have gotten permission to duplicate it very faithfully. With
SignWriter Studio some things may be similar but none are identical.
Right now I am trying to get the three main parts of the program working, the
dictionary ( I will soon have a preview version available), the signlist (for
printing lists of signs from the dictionary) and the document.
Once I get everything working again after changing to ISWA 2010 and a new
database, I am interested in implement a keyboard like SignWriter DOS.
But first things first.<br>
The document isn't functional right now. Also it
only deals with vertical columns of writing for the time being. It can
have text above the sign up to the width of the sign, then it wraps onto more
lines. At present there isn't any way of writing just text without a
sign but it shouldn't be too hard to implement. The editing of
the signs is done in a popup box instead of directly in the document like
SignWriter DOS. A lot of thought has been put into it to use the
keyboard but it may need a few more adjustments yet.<br>
<br>
Thank you for sharing this important feature with me and list.<br>

a modern system.<br>
<br>
In that program you could interleave written alphabets and sign writing.
Clunky, but effective.<br>
<br>
You could clip signs from a narrative and put them somewhere else.<br>
<br>
It was a true typing system for signing so that you could assemble a sign
by typing on a keyboard not a mouse. Yes, I know that the current encoding
of the ISWA is dependent upon a linking of graphemes and coding
equivalents.<br>
<br>
None of the Studios or other efforts have gone back to actual interleaved
Spoken Language and Signed Language. </span></font><span lang=EN-GB>I

like we are continuing to take a great leap backward. Until one can type or
easily assemble, one can't' send email that is in sign language with a
spoken language. IF Chinese can do it, I am disappointed in every Sign
Writing compiler on the market that can't interleave.<span

This is an email program and I can do that, but the SW studio and all other
programs do not do that.<span class=ecxapple-converted-space> </span><br>
