Chris,
can you help walk me through rebuilding the BHS. I am not getting anywhere.
I need to alter the text and rebuild to see if I can solve some Hebrew
problems.


Troy,
I also need to know who did the JPS and HNV modules. I am new to C+ but not
to the goal of this developement. I want to help the program but will need
some help getting started on building modules.

I have looked at the C:\sword145\src\modules code and I AM LOST!!!!!!
BTW Troy, had my own wedding last week...

Yeshiah
