Dear SW List:
A question from Switzerland:
QUESTION: With SignWriter 4.4, how do you merge two small dictionary
files into one larger dictionary file?
ANSWER: In the SignWriter Instruction Notebook (that comes with the
SignWriter Program) there are five manuals. The third manual is
called "SignWriter-At-A-Glance". Look on page 25.
Here are the instructions on that page:
Merging Dictionaries
This is done with the Dictionary Manager program.
1. Quit the SignWriter program. You are now in MS-DOS.
2. Type DICT. Press Return.
3. Type m (for merge). Press Return. Merge what dictionary?
4. Type the name of the first dictionary file, for example: 001. Press Return.
5. With what dictionary? Type the name of the second dictionary file,
for example: Verbs. Press Return.
6. Name of new dictionary? Type the name of the new dictionary file (
the merged file), for example: New. Press Return.
7. The Merge program will now ask you if you wish to skip or rename
duplicates. Once you have answered these questions, the Merge program
merges the two files together.
Hope this helps!
