Hello CeSoft,
My name is Lynn Allan. I am a volunteer with The CrossWire Bible Society =
(www.crosswire.org). Our primary function is to prepare freeware for =
Bible study.
Recently, we received a request from the Wycliffe Bible translators for =
help with their EasyEnglish Bible project. Briefly, this involves =
non-computer literate missionaries translating the Bible into various =
languages where missionaries are deployed. Some of these missionaries =
speak English as a second language, so simplicity is paramount.
At this point, the installation and Word-4-Windows macro customization =
involves a large number of steps, and has been a source of frustration =
to the EasyEnglish translators. Our volunteers have been requested to =
put together a solution to simplify this.
We have considered preparing a VBA application that would work as a =
"plug-in" for Word-4-Windows. However, it is my impression that your =
QuicKeys product might be a simpler "80/20" solution (80% of the =
benefits with 20% of the effort). I am only barely familiar with =
QuicKeys, so I may very well be uninformed as to what QuicKeys can and =
cannot do. I have done some WSH programming (Windows Script Host) and =
Visual Test programming.
I have downloaded QuicKeys 2.5. Prior to spending time on evaluating =
QuicKeys feasibility, I first wanted to inquire about licensing terms. =
We would very much appreciate having CeSoft make QuicKeys 2.5 available =
for free or at very low cost to the Wycliffe UK organization. Perhaps =
you could make an older version available at little or not cost? We =
could probably be talking about 20 to 50 end-users.=20
Sharing the reason for the season,
