So if we have the computer files for your dictionaries - typed with the SignWriter Computer Program....you will have two files to send me: "yourfile.dic" and "yourfile.din" ...if you send those as attached files I can then transfer your signs into SignBank and onto the SignBankSite...so we could begin building a database for DGS. If there is anyone else who has a SignWriting dictionary and you would like to place it online, just tell me...and in time I will be happy to do it...slowly, one sign at a time :-) Now I must get back to printing books - I have really enjoyed chatting!! Have a great evening everyone - Valerie ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton..............................................SignWritingSite ................. https://www.SignWriting.org Deaf Action Committee for SignWriting...Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization...Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA |
