Thank you for this draft of the anouncement.

> Bible Texts, Commentaries, Lexicons and Thesauruses for Bibletime are
> available

Thesaurus is not available.

Shouldn't it be "at no charge"??

> of texts available is larger than most commercial Bible study tools,
> currently numbering over 190.  These include classics like Luther's
> original German translation, John Wesley's commentary (English), and Bible
> translations into a number of languages (including Dutch, German, English,
> Spanish, Thai, Chinese, and a number of others).

> Bibletime 1.0 provides the following features:
> Display of documents coded in Theological Markup Language (ThML) and
> General Bible Format (GBF)
> Full text Boolean search using "Regular Expression"
> Open any number of texts at the same time.
> Parallel display of texts
> Unicode / ThML support allows display of texts that have different
> alphabets and different text directions (left to right or right to left) at
> the same time. For example Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.

Sorry, but Right to left is _not_ supported. This is only possible with Qt3 
in some months.

> Support for the creation of a personal commentary is provided also.
> Select display font and color.
> Display / hide Strong's numbers.
> Display / hide footnotes.
> Print to printer
> Print to postscript file
> Copy to text file
> Copy to HTML file

The differences to 0.3 are basically:

	-Printing
	-Improved searchdialog (better searchanalysis, threading, percentage 
display, better scope chooser)
	-Parallel display of multiple translations
	-Unicode support (at least partly)
	-better documentation

Is this ok?
