Hello Dr Lima!
Welcome to the SignWriting List! I am glad you could join us ...smile...

Brazil has so many brilliant computer people, and beautiful Brazilian  
Sign Language, which I understand is called LIBRAS. Perhaps you have  
seen our SignWriting in Brazil section on our website?

SignWriting in Brazil

and the software from Brazil, for download?

Download SignWriting Software

SW Edit, for example, is one of many Brazilian programs developed for  
SignWriting...

I hope to update the section on Brazil one of these  
days ...smile...there are so many new developments with SignWriting  
in Brazil...and your email is one of them ;-)

Next message I will post your questions to me and try to answer them  
the best I can!

Val ;-)
