Hello Geoffrey!
Thanks for telling me. Let us first be sure we are talking about the  
same download...there are so many on our sites...

Recently Tim Grove (I believe) downloaded all the symbols of the IMWA  
in one large file, and that is over 26,000 tiny graphics files...are  
you referring to that kind of download? Or do you really mean  
SignBank, which is a different download. Charles and I were  
discussing downloading SignBank Runtime for Windows on this web page:

http://www.SignBank.org/downloads

Are you saying that you could not unzip SignBank Runtime? If so, I  
need to know...Was the file you tried to unzip named SignBank Runtime?

Breaking up the IMWA download that Tim tried could be done, but  
breaking up the SignBank Runtime download is another story...I would  
have to hire a programmer to find out how to separate those files  
because it is a relational database...

I look forward to hearing from you -

Val ;-)
