[sword-devel] Re: Palm Bible Converter

[Justus Piater]

Hi -

I'm very much interested in this. I'm currently using Palm Bible and
am somewhat disappointed that he's gone commercial (though it's
understandable and ok). It makes a lot of sense to me to port (part
of) sword to PalmOS. Maybe parts of the GUI can reuse code from Palm
Bible. Unfortunately I'll not be able to devote much time to helping
(academic job, family), but here's my contribution to generating "much
response to this thread" :-).
