No. The Windows version of SignWriter is not ready yet. But I would suggest....just in case you are waiting for the Windows version...DO NOT WAIT FOR IT. Start using SignWriter right now. I use SignWriter 4.3 in Windows everyday. I keep the MS-DOS window open with SignWriter inside . I also use Macs, and on the Mac I use SignWriter 4.3 too. So right now, free to download from the web, is a working program that is used all over the world, with sophisticated dictionary features, and a 3000-sign ASL dictionary: Download SignWriter 4.3 https://www.SignWriting.org/sw128.html Plus you have full tech support from me, and a lot of other wonderful List members who know so much ;-) So if you do not feel confident with MS-DOS, do not worry, we will help you ;-) Plus....there are some new developments... We are working on ways to enhance SignWriter 4.3, by combining it with other established programs, such as Adobe Acrobat and database software. So SignWriter 4.3 will become more useful as these creative combinations are documented. As they become available, I will be providing instruction to SignWriter 4.3 users. Plus, Michael Everson is designing a series of True Type fonts that will make SW symbols available in other programs. The True Type fonts will lead to Unicode in time, but like all major software development, the Unicode of SW is bound to take several years. Are already using SignWriter 4.3, Caroline? How is it going for you? Thanks for your question - -- Val ;-) ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org To Post A Message To The SW List: SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l |
