[sword-devel] BibleCS 1.4.5rc2

[Sing Yong Tan]

I am using English Windows ME. But viewing ChiGUs module is okay for me. If 
I turn on Chinese Star 2001, I'm able to input in chinese for searching. 
Search is successful for ver 1.5.4rc2 but not for ver 1.5.3.
Maybe I should try the traditional chinese module...
Let you know soon...
