SignBank8 new improvements

SignWriting List
August 7, 2006

Hello Ingvild and Cherie!
No...that is no longer true, Ingvild. The new SignBank8 does not have  
that problem. FileMaker changed that with the FileMaker 7, 8 and 8.5...

So SignBank8 has some improvements...it is smoother. You can close  
any window without closing the whole program.

Do you think you can get FileMaker 8.5 from Norway, Ingvild? I will  
not have SignBank8 ready for a few weeks...and then we need to beta  
test it ;-)

Val ;-)
