[sword-devel] Re: [sword-cvs] The Sword Project for Palm OS?

[Paul Gould]

Fabulous, indeed!

My Java skills are pretty bad, but, from what I've seen of the code, it's
pretty straight-forward.  Diaspora doesn't seem to be able to export the
Thompson Chain References (unless I'm not doing something right), and this
was what I really wanted to incorporate, but, there's a way, I'm sure, to be
able to do something like this.

Regards to all,

Paul
