[bt-devel] Modules...

[Brad]

If I delete /homedir/modules Bibletime doesn't start properly. However, I have 
noticed that the KJV is the only one in the modules tree in my home directory 
and all the others are in /usr/share/sword

Should I unzp them into my home directory?

Also, I have another Windows-based bible study program that I purchased a few 
years ago, and I use the NKJ version, which is my preferred translation. I 
can export the text from it, so is there any way that I can use the exported 
text in Bibletime?

Regards,
Brad
