[sword-devel] QPSword & Hebrew/Greek Fonts

[Nichols, Lester]

I have installed info zip on my Z, but have not been able to extract the
files as of yet. Have you used this utility in before? I am also in the
process of developing alternative front-ends for the various hand-helds, Is
there a styles guide or specific frame-work guide that is used as a
standard?

I had no problems with this (I am using an iPaq 3630 however) but you can 
download and unzip the ZIP versions of the modules. I think QPSword stores 
the modules in /mnt/ramfs/.sword by default, although in my case I modified 
the config and store the modules on /dev/hda/root/.sword which is on a CF 
card.

I usually unzip/copy the modules I want on the iPaq inbto a directory on my 
desktop and the scp/rsync them to the ipaq.

I haven't had any major problems installing Zaurus ipkg's on my ipaq either
so 
I don't think there is any difference in their structure, you might try 
updating the ipkg program itself, It also occurs to me that perhaps the 
download of the ipk may have gone a bit batty.
