Hi Steve.

Thank you for your answer.
I'll write some code to convert my KSW data to FSW and after I will use
your site to convert to SWU.
After your answer, I went to my data file and found some SignTexts wrote in
a different format.
I.e.: AS10041S10049S20600M18x23S10041n3xn7S10049n17xn7S20600n11xn23
I'm wondering how to convert this SignText to FSW because I can't see the
same pattern at the beginning of this SignText like the one you converted
as an example.
