[sword-devel] Any Palm development in-progress

Hi,

I'm an active Palm Developer, working on a bible library that would do most
of the stuff SWORD ported to the Palm would do. It is about 80% complete,
and a 60% complete version is at
http://www.datacute.co.nz/BibleSwitchboardUser.zip

I do intend integration with PalmBible+

I'm off for 2 weeks holiday today, but will be in email contact.

I might spend some time during my holiday documenting how it all works.

I have also created a very small, very quick bible verse supplier
application that I'm testing. 5K code, 1100KB for complete KJV bible. (To be
split into 200K lexicon & phrasebook in RAM, 900K can remain on a slow
expansion card.)

This is useful with a new tool I've created where you select a reference,
and select a new command menu button... the text shows up (extremely
quickly) in a small scrollable pop-up window. Which will allow you to copy
it, next/prev verse, launch bible program, etc.

Stephen Denne.
