Sounds cool Robbert.  You can find MS VC++ 6.0 projects in the 
apps/windoze/vc directory.  You will probably have the best results if you 
copy the files from the swordlib project into your own project, rather 
than trying to use them as a separate library that you then link.

We have a beamer in our church and it would be real nice to have a solution that can automate the rendering of bible verses. Currently I have to cut and paste texts in PowerPoint for every service.
