That is great idea! I like to download (Symbol 001: Index Finger, Tight Fist) from your web. But Wondering that download can go to for Signwriting 4.3 and 5.0? .GIF files, I think it would be fine. Most peoples' computer can take .JPG and .GIF files. Lourdes -----Original Message----- From: Valerie Sutton [SMTP:] Sent: Thursday, December 10, 1998 5:23 PM To: SignWriting List Subject: Higher Resolution Symbols Online December 10, 1998 Dear SignWriting List: There are several groups developing software for SignWriting now. I have heard from five different groups. It is very needed, and I am so happy about this. Of course, it takes time to develop new software. None of these new programs are finished and ready to distribute to others, and probably won't be for some time. So most people are still using our SignWriter Computer Program, version 4.3 for MS-DOS. The MS-DOS version does not produce symbols at a high resolution because it is an older program. The new SignWriter 5.0, which we are working on, will have symbols at a higher resolution. But SignWriter 5.0 is not ready yet either. So, meanwhile, people need symbols that have a "better resolution" than the symbols produced with SignWriter 4.3. So how do we manage until the new software is ready? I have one idea...I have posted one symbol, with its 24 positions on the web right now: Sign-Symbol-Sequence Symbol 001: Index Finger, Tight Fist https://www.SignWriting.org/sss001.html There are a lot more symbols, so it will take me time to post the whole symbol set. However, I will be happy to do this if there are people who feel these "symbols online" will be useful. You can download the .GIF files from the web, and then use the symbols in your software development, or in your SignWriting publications. Is there anyone who feels they will use these .GIF files? I will wait to hear from you, before I post more - Thanks for your input!
