Too much forwarding declaration is an indication of inkonsequente 
job deligation - i think.

You mean the sword-code and not the BibleTime-code - yes? Mhhmm... That was also 
my impression too. My idea/question was, is it not better, the bible-text completely 
loding in one step (from SWORD) and write in a SQLite-DB? SQL is powerfoll and easy
to use.

10' Netbook have the same problem. thus as a goal we can be defined: 
a alternative GUI with minimum function for small screens/devices?
