Testing SignBank DocumentMaker

For your information...

The new SignBank 8.5, which includes DocumentMaker, works with:

1. Windows XP
2. Windows Vista
3. Macintosh OSX

The Runtime versions do NOT require FileMaker or any other software  
to open.

If you already own FileMaker 8.5 for Windows XP and you want to use  
Windows Vista, there is an update-patch you can download for free, to  
update your FileMaker to work with Windows Vista:

Updater to Windows Vista for FileMaker users
