Subject:  CD for Showcase


Dear List Members,

I've been discussing something with Val. There's a Showcase coming up
here in a couple short weeks and, while I'm committed to provide
materials for it for another organization, I want to do something for
SignWriting too.

Val and I hit upon the idea of distributing a CD. I like this idea. My
original idea was to use a 3.5" floppy and put SignWriting 4.4 on it.
But being a DOS program, very few people would know what to do with it.
If I put it on a CD, however, and include other things that can be seen
in Windows, we can provide the instructions for setting up and running
SignWriting in DOS. We could also include many things: PDF files, HTML
pages, links to the SignWriting site, Ghostwriter (GhostView). There's
also the idea of making a menu and having it load automatically or click
on the menu file from the CD.

Let me tell you - it's an exciting idea for me but I've only got those 2
short weeks and I have other material to produce too.

Val reminded me that Stuart was trying to do a CD too. Stuart, did you
ever succeed?

Val suggested I ask you, the list, for suggestions. While the
possibilities are intriguing, I want to be able to include as much as I
can but as clearly and effectively as possible. Any suggestions?

Bill
