    Hello – I am new to this forum but I have a burning question and came across this site when looking for the answer. I have been a sign writer since 1991 starting with a Camm1 running software, supplied on floppy disk, called Leewood SignScript. I am still using the (dongled) software today. My machine is an entry level Dell Pentium running Windows 3.1 with the DOS based SignScript – yes, the DOS based version with the blue screen. I now have a Sign Pal vinyl cutter driven with the SignScript software. So this is the question – is there any one else out there in sign land still using the DOS based version of this software? I would love to know.
    Great site, will be spending hours between jobs…
    Regards Peter

    Welcome to the forum Peter.

    A man after my own heart – if it’s not broken, don’t fix it! 😀

    Hi Peter – welcome 😀

    I too use old sign software – in my case Casmate pro running under windows 3.1 and laterly windows 98. It has served me well for 16 years and still does everything I need as far as vinyl cutting is concerned. Only problem is, if the dongle broke, there is now no longer any support to fix it 😕

    Has anyone thought of repackaging and distributing this software as an add-on? (without the dongle) It is a brilliant set of kit and simple to use just needs someone to update it to run on newer operating systems.
    i cannot understand why Corel hasn’t incorporated something like this?
