[bt-devel] bt-devel Digest, Vol 78, Issue 3

[Gary Holmlund]

  James,

It is good to here that you found that Disk Cleaner was deleting 
BibleTime files and were able to fix that problem.

I have not been using Sword Project for Windows so I don't know that I 
can help with that issue. Windows 7 does have the ability to unzip files 
without using WinZip. It is the extract command on the right mouse 
context menu of Windows Explorer when the zip file is selected.
