Hi all,
I have beel looking aroung the sword API for a while and I would like to =

use it through delphi. I have created a custom Bible Software and I =
would
like to add support (integrate with) the sword api.

Reading through the code, docs, etc I have not yet been able to find a =
good
way to use the api from delhi. My c++ knowledge is not good (although I =
can=20
easily read code) and I have not yet been able to fully compile a =
working dll
from the code.=20
Any help would be greatly appreciated.=20

Also, some more simple questions:
- What is icu (swordicu)?=20
- Why all this BCP make projects that create different dll/libs?
- Is there any possibility that the sword api be published as a win dll?
- Why BCP 6.0 cannot compile almsot anything? (errors in unicode)

Thanks,
Costas
(sorry for the bad english, it is not my first language)
