<br>><br>> Did you have a particular interest in a particular GenBook or<br>> Webster's<br>> dictionary?<br>><br>><br>> Sorry I have been helping and around the sword project for years but
<br>> have never really<br>> done much with modules before. I find now that i have quite a few<br>> genbook type modules I need to support but so far it looks like<br>> bibletime is going to be the only viable alternative.
<br>><br>> I have considered working with jsword but to be honest I have not done<br>> any real java programming. It is not to different from the other<br>> languages I know though and I am not looking forward to taking a stab
<br>> at c or c++ so that leaves me working with possibly jsword to get the<br>> functionality I want.<br>><br>> This would also mean that that jsword would need to support waht I<br>> need since I would mostly be focusing on wqorking on bibledesktop. I
<br>> do understnad the differences. as in jsword being more like the libs<br>> and bibledesktop being the front end gui.<br>><br>> I wanted ot change the handeling of texts texts though and also load<br>> genbook more or less as a bible for reading. By this I mean into the
<br>> same reading area not how jsword handels genbook. I also need the<br>> ability to search multiple items at once. Since I noticed that you<br>> had laready implimted lucene I figured that bibledesktop would be a
<br>> good candidate for this.<br>><br>> Thanks.<br>><br>><br>> _______________________________________________<br>><br>> jsword-devel mailing list<br>> <a href="mailto:jsword-devel@crosswire.org">
