What are the differences between joiner programs?

• The original 'Sassoon Joiner' has normal sized capital letters which appear short because ascenders rise above the capitals. This happens naturally in handwriting.
  
• The 'Sassoon Cambridge Joiner' has capital letters enlarged to the same height as capitals for the purpose of having the top of the capital and ascending letter (such as h) at the same point for teaching. As a convenience for teaching, four 'tramlines' can then be used to indicate: capital height, x-height, baseline, descender.
  

• The original 'Sassoon Joiner' uses joining principles of Dr. Rosemary Sassoon.
  
• The 'Sassoon Cambridge Joiner' has joins reflecting the views of the 'Penpals for Handwriting' authors.
• The 'top-looped' f is missing from the Cambridge version as an option in Preferences.
  

• The original 'Sassoon Joiner' is currently in version 2.1
• more joining logic to process which makes the Progress Bar longer to reach 100%.
  
• The choice of Preferences is displayed during the joining process which may be cancelled if required.
  
• Blue and cream colour scheme to differentiate it from 'Sassoon Joiner'.

• 'Sassoon Cambridge Joiner' is currently in version 1.3
  
• A shorter Progress Bar time
  
• If the End User accidentally rests all fileds to use another (unwanted) font such as Arial because text was 'pasted into fields, a 'Reformat now' button in Preferences sets all fields back to the requires Sassoon joining fonts (if installed).
  

• The original 'Sassoon Joiner' can be purchased and used by Schools/Teachers AND is available for commercial Publishers to use and license for their work
• The 'Sassoon Cambridge Joiner' may not be used by commercial Publishers and can only be used by Schools/Teachers in their work.

• Use the Sassoon Cambridge Joiner only if you intend following the 'Penpals for Handwriting' scheme from Cambridge University Press.

• If the joining principles of Dr. Rosemary Sassoon are paramount in your work, use the original Sassoon Joiner.
