[sword-devel] Early Church Fathers

[David Trotz (Integrity Online)]

Chris,
What do you think the time frame is for doing a general book format support?
I love the idea of having a general book format available. Having all of
this literature available for Sword users could be very helpful indeed. Of
course I don't have to tell you this, but I am very excited to see this
happen. :)
