Hello Honza and everyone -

So SiGML is HamNoSys, not SignWriting….

So that would require special software to write in SignWriting, with the purpose of creating HamNoSys SiGML code...

Our organization has never worked directly with the HanNoSys organization to create such a program. I have never heard of such a program.

But perhaps someone else has created a program like that?

I know Dr.Penny Boyes Braem and her colleagues are working with both systems…

Penny is no longer on the SignWriting List, but I would suggest writing to them - I will send you their email addresses privately -

Val ;-)
