This may be a bit presumtuous coming from someone who is little more 
than a lurker on this list these days, as I have less and less time 
available to make any useful contribution - and besides, my coding 
skills are very limited.  But as one who is very interested in having 
access to all the books in modules such as the LXX, I had given 
thought to how this might be achieved.  How about moving from 
canon.h to canon.ini - if there is a 'canon.ini' in the module directory, 
read the information from this.  If there is not, read the default 
'canon.ini' which has the versification we use now in canon.h.  (Sorry to 
use a bit of Windows speak with the .ini - feel free to uses the Linux 
equivalent if you want).

Anyhow, carry on with the good work.  Personally, I couldn't manage 
without this wonderful, versatile piece of software.

God bless you all,
Barry
