[sword-devel] Important questions

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Joachim,
	I'm been feeling under the weather lately.  Apologies for not
responding to all this right now.  About the compile error.  Instead of
trying to get it to work the way it was, I rewrote it a little.  ONE
MORE TIME.....  Let me know how it goes...

	-Troy.
