[sw-l] SW-Edit

[rocha at ATLAS.UCPEL.TCHE.BR]

Sandy,

  Thanks for using SW-Edit, in spike of its defiencies!

  Everything you mentioned is lacking and necessary (and a few more
things: saving documents in HTML format, generating animated GIFs from
selected signs, searching signs by various criteria, etc., etc., etc.).

  They are all in the to-do list, some are almost finished. Shame on us,
that we haven't been able to do them. That's life :-(

  It seems SW-Edit is like those files that we are downloading or
installing: the last 1% is the one that takes longer :-)

  All the best,

  Antônio Carlos
