Printing documents with SignBank 8, such as the ASL Anthology

Hello Kim and Everyone!
This all sounds excellent...Right now, SignBank 8 is working  
beautifully if you own FileMaker Pro 8, but the free version is still  
not perfect and I am trying to make it perfect...which I can do  
myself at a very slow pace...but I just need a block of  
time...hopefully later this summer I can do that so by Autumn 2006,  
we should have the free version of SignBank 8 free for download on  
the web, at which time I look forward to helping you with your  
documents - that will be fun, Kim!

And congratulations on your hard work...Your Anthology sounds quite  
amazing. I giggled when I read that you wrote the page numbers in  
SignWriting and the printing-place where you took the printing,  
couldn't read the page numbers - ha! That is a problem for single- 
language books of a rare written language!

Regarding SignWriting in Ireland....I will send you some email  
addresses with possible contacts...

Have a great trip!

Val ;-)
