As you know, I run everything myself. I hope in time we can raise enough funds to pay a staff again, but at this time it is not possible. We are all volunteer, and SignWriting is really spreading. A wonderful and interesting time for all of us. So that is why you don't always hear from me :-) Cheryl - In regards to SignWriter Shareware, it is an old piece of software that was actually designed for older computers. The new SignWriter 5.0 will be for fancier computers, but the shareware should be just fine for your computer. I run it on an old AST 486 sx that we have in our office. It was made for the old days! And we have run it on 286's also, so there generally should be no problem. The biggest problem people have with the shareware is printing, but for the internet you don't need to print anyway, if you are making .GIF files. It can even print out on the old Epson dot matrix printers, so there is hope for you using it. Perhaps you are having problems downloading it? If so, I can send you a shareware disk snail mail. In regards to USA dictionaries - the shareware includes a 3100 ASL sign dictionary. So if you already have the shareware, you already have quite a large dictionary to work with. (Caroline...if you are reading this...you already have a big dictionary :-)!! Of course, it is not a dictionary of religious signs - but it has general signs used in ASL. It needs to be updated and improved and added to, but it is something to start with anyway! So for anyone who wants to download the shareware, try this page: Download Shareware https://www.SignWriting.org/sw128.html Nice to be in touch with you all again - All my best - Valerie :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton at the DAC Deaf Action Committee for SW SignWriting https://www.SignWriting.org Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
