September 29, 1999 Hello Everyone, and thanks Jerry, for your instructions, which are pasted below. The instructions explain how to download Bible passages written in ASL, in SignWriting. This was lots of work for both Pastor Dettloff and his team, and Jerry Spillman doing the web design....so thanks for making this available to us :-) For those of you downloading to a Macintosh...like I do ...you can read all of these files, if you use SoftPC or VirtualPC or if you have an IBM card built into your Macintosh, as I do. I just went up on the web and downloaded Fetch, which is a Macintosh program that makes it possible to download files using FTP. But one word of caution...when you are downloading the files, be sure to check "BINARY MODE" while you are in Fetch. The .SGN files that you are downloading are not TEXT files, because they are written in SignWriting, and are considered "graphics" by your computer. I made this mistake myself the first time I downloaded them as TEXT files. When I opened them in the SignWriter Computer Program, they came in as "grabage". But when I downloaded again, using BINARY or graphics mode, they came in beautifully. So enjoy reading the Bible passages!!
