Yes - I´m most interested ... Tonight I downloaded the ghostscript and ghostview - file - I´m no expert habd hope to be able to install these programs corectly !! From what I understood - there is another program needed - is that correct ? I tried the one which Angus Grieves recommmended - but unfortunately - continuos link - error - Is it a necessary file? Is it correct that the whole process will become much easier with Adobe Acrobat 4 instead of ghostscript and .. and .. and ? 2) Download prn2file, a DOS utility from PC Magazine, from Shareware.com <https://shareware.cnet.com/shareware/0-13628-500-1096192.html?tag=st.s w.16165_501_1.lst.titledetail>, unzip it and put prn2file.com into the SW43 directory. > >Until I receive those donated copies, I hope you all will download >GhostWriter and start - so tomorrow I´ll start to look for the first problems . - > >If we can get SignWriter dictionaries into .PDF format, that will >change our world, because we will be able to send entire dictionaries >to others in a format they can read. They will not have to own >SignWriter, to be able to print and read SignWriting dictionaries - >Any volunteers? Will be happy to hear from you soon again ! Stefan ;-) (Thanks for this great message!!!) |
