I tested  using 1.7.beta3 that I compiled from the tar.gz2 file off
SourceForge on a Toshiba Laptop running Fedora 9.  The Sword library is
1.5.11.1.f9 and Clucene 9.20f9.

I tested KJV, JFB, Pilgram, TR, Aleppo and ISBE with all of them setting on
the desktop at the same time.

All loaded with all buttons working fine

So far no problem using the unicode characters -- I didn't extensively test
this though.

Both TR and Aleppo worked fine, they indexed and searched fine with all
options.

Worked fine in the KJV and TR

In the KJV all these worked fine, except if you entered heading: <blank> or
morph: <blank> footnote:<blank>  then the whole program crashed.  You had to
enter something after the ":" or bibletime crashed.

Matthew 3:1 "days" did a seach on strong:G3588|G2250 with no problem

Couldn't get any of the problems to crash or hang doing this. Tried this in
all the English modules.  Did some in Greek with the simple words and no
problem.  I'm ignorant in Hebrew so somebody else has to do it.

Worked fine -- see note on hitting return on <blank> after ":"

Worked good, I even used different font sets with the various modules -- no
crashes

Worked fine, but I didn't test this extensively

Worked fine

I wasn't using a large scope, but on the smaller scopes it seemed right on.

Gotta run, lots that needs to be done today.
