Hi,

Thank you for your response. I have tried running the code, as I am
interested in being able to actually run the software from the terminal. I
was wondering how you guys compile and run it on your end? I've tried
compiling it all, but I seem to always get errors, and my professor does as
well when she attempts running it.
Even if we get it to compile, which file is the run file? The closest file
I've seen is perhaps running java Desktop.java (located in
/trunk/bibledesktop/src/main/java/org/crosswire/bibledesktop/desktop)

Could you help me with figuring this out?
I'd also be interested where the run file for STEP is - I've looked through
the code but can't seem to figure out where/how to run that from the
terminal either.
Thanks!
Carrie
