So you are saying that Adobe Acrobat 4.0 may possibly not have a way to make a postscript file from a DOS file, without other programs? I am surprised...but you may be right. I will look into this ;-) Your idea about asking a programmer to help me tweak SignWriter is a nice one, except I have no programmer. Work on SignWriter 5.0 has stopped, because I have no money at this time. Some wonderful programming work is being done in Brazil, but they are so busy, I doubt if they can do the tweaking you mention, but you never know - I can ask them - Good luck with your SignWriting workshops, Stuart - I sent you a box of SignWriting literature to distribute to the participants - did you receive it? Thanks once again for your help and advice - -- Val ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton Visit the SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org | ||||||||||||||||
