Yes...it is useful, and you have my full support is developing software using SignWriting...As does everyone around the globe! I hope you will continue to share your ideas with the SignWriting List...

Meanwhile, the complete set of SignWriting symbols in GIF format, are available for download on the web:

SignBank Download Center
http://www.SignBank.org/downloads

Scroll down to number 5 on the page...

Those are the individual symbols themselves...The signs, (as GIFs in units), will also be available in time...They are not posted yet. Each country has a different sign language, as you know, and we are just starting with SignBank...

All these GIFs, both symbols and signs, are stored inside the SignBank database...Regarding FileMaker, you can download a free one-month trial version on their website:

Best of luck with your project, Michael!
