Hello list members,

I have just bought an IPAQ. So wouldn't it be great to have a bible
reader on it? I did not like the free bible readers that were there
already, so I tried to get the sword engine working.

I saw in the cvs that there was already some work done (hidden in a
vague 'wince' directory) and this was very helpful. I got the latest
sword release version (1.5.5) and the microsoft embedded visual c
toolkit and got to work. There were a great many problems on the way,
but with Gods help, they were all solved.

So right now I am looking at my Ipaq screen and there is a small
application which can look up any text in the bible (KJV) using the
sword engine in a dll. Praise Him!

I had to make some small changes to some of the sword-files, but nothing
that should cause problems with other platforms.

So, how can I share the files I created, so any developper can use them
in windows CE applications?

Greetings from the Netherlands,

Johan
