[sword-devel] 1.5.1a WIN32

[Troy A. Griffitts]

There is a new test windows binary available at:

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/ALPHAcckswwlkrfre22034820285912/alpha/sword.exe

you will also need a locale pack from the source.  I've zipped up the
latest here, for those that don't have the source checked out:

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/ALPHAcckswwlkrfre22034820285912/alpha/locales.zip

put the new exe in your sword directory, replacing the old one, and
unzip the locale pack in your sword dir also (probably c:\Program
Files\CrossWire\The SWORD Project\).


You'll find a rough implementation of some new features.  The
preferences dialog is a mess, but has some of the new stuff available
from there.  You'll have to restart the program after changing options
for many of them to take effect.

Also, for many of the new features to work, you'll have either download
the latest version of a few key modules, or merely add appropriate lines
in the modules' .conf files, probably located in:
c:\Program Files\CrossWire\The SWORD Project\mods.d

Here's a grep from the website's module repository:

bdb.conf:Feature=HebrewDef
kjv.conf:Feature=StrongsNumbers
losung_de_89.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_90.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_91.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_92.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_93.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_94.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_95.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_96.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_97.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_98.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_de_99.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_en_96.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_en_97.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_en_98.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_en_99.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_es_99.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
losung_nl_99.conf:Feature=DailyDevotion
strongsgreek.conf:Feature=GreekDef
strongshebrew.conf:Feature=HebrewDef
thayer.conf:Feature=GreekDef
thayer.conf:Feature=GreekParse

For example, thayer.conf might look something like this when you are
done editing:

[Thayer]
DataPath=./modules/lexdict/rawld/thayer/greek
ModDrv=RawLD
Feature=GreekDef
Feature=GreekParse
Description=Thayer's Greek Lexicon
About=\qc Thayer's Greek Lexicon \par\par \pard \
This is a lexicon of Greek words keyed off of Strong's numbers.



I'm looking mostly for comments about the features and suggestions.  I
haven't spent much time on trying to make it stable.  You're still
welcome to report bugs, though, also.



For the really ambitious, this is built on the latest 1.5.1a library, so
there is basic speed search support built in.  You'll need to prime the
module for speed search manually though.  This entails downloading the
program:

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/ALPHAcckswwlkrfre22034820285912/alpha/mkfastmod.exe

placing it in your sword directory,
opening a dos prompt,
CDing to your sword directory (can be tricky with spaces in the path
name), e.g.

c:
cd "Program Files"
cd CrossWire
cd "The SWORD Project"

then running the mkfastmod program on the module you want to prime.

mkfastmod KJV



Thanks again for your willingness to help!  Keep the suggestions and
comments coming.
