Why? There are many reasons, but one of the most important factors is that the operating systems are very different. MS-DOS is not like Windows. They "operate" differently. And "stand-alone" java applications, such as SignWriter 5.0, are still quite rare. I am sorry I cannot tell you more, Ron. We haven't even faced printing from SignWriter 5.0 yet - stand-alone java applications did not have good printer support from Sun Java until recently, and our programmer has not started the printing aspects of the program yet. Just know that SignWriter 4.3 and SignWriter 5.0 will be very different from each other. No comparisons can be made right now until SignWriter 5.0 is up and running...we will just continue to work on the new program until it is useful. Meanwhile, I am sure there will always be people who will use SignWriter 4.3...as long as there is MS-DOS in the world.... I do not understand your question about boxes...what boxes do you mean? Thanks for your questions, and feel free to continue to ask them :-) Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite...Lessons Online https://www.SignWriting.org SignBankSite...Databases Online https://www.SignBank.org Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA |
