[sword-devel] Apocrypha?

[geoffrey W Hastings]

I don't believe I would like the Apocrypha to be put into the same module
as the KJV.
I would not want to have to remember to do searches in custom search to
omit the Apocrypha from my results.
I wouldn't want seaches of the Apocrypha to pull up results from the KJV
either.
It might lead to confusion in instances where more than one person use
the same computer if they do not all have the understanding that they are
tied together, say in a church or bible college library etc...
