[jsword-devel] Jsword development

[DM Smith]

Kurt,
    I am still working on this, but I just got a report from someone 
else that we have fixed the WebStart version for MacOS 10.3. You can get 
it from the www.crosswire.org/bibledesktop/download.html page. At this 
time both the Release and Nightly webstart buttons provide the same code.
    I'll still let you know when I get the other fixed.
