Hello Everyone and Honza, and Steve!

Great to get email from the Czech Republic once more, Honza...Thanks  
for your question above. And yes, Steve is right, there are  
two....well actually three... ways to use SignPuddle and SignText:


1. Free Online on the Web (as always ;-)

SignPuddle and SignText
http://www.SignBank.org/signpuddle



2. Download SignText for a Single Computer
This is a free version for individual computers.

Download SignText and Reference Manual

3. Private SignPuddle Server for a Private Computer Network
Research or publishing groups pay a one-time fee for the source code,  
to setup a private SignPuddle Server for their private computer  
network. The one-time fee includes one full year of technical support  
from Steve Slevinski, the developer of SignPuddle and also a year  
technical support from Valerie Sutton who can teach the group how to  
use SignWriting, how to use the software, and how to prepare  
SignWriting publications.


So Honza, I believe your group at the University would benefit from  
number 3 above, but it takes time for us to talk about this, so for  
right now, perhaps you can try number 2 above, personally, and let me  
teach you how to use the new SignText on your own private computer....

Write again when you have downloaded SignText (number 2 above)...

And talk to your University about a Private SignPuddle  
Server...perhaps they have funding for their project?....I look  
forward to talking with them...They can write to me at my email  
address below...

Val ;-)
