[sword-devel] Thayer's Greek Lexicon - thayer.zip

Hi Bruce,

Well, sounds nice. I'm very interested...

Due copyright problems the Thayer is no longer available. But, maybe if
you'll ask someone from the list personally (not via the mailinglist) he is
willing to share the module with you.

Not as far as I know...

There seems to be one accented Greek text in the Public Domain, I even heard
sometime ago on this list that someone (Anton, anton_kylie@pacific.net.au)
was making a Sword module from it.

In Christ,
