Hello David,

First of all I thank you for your detailed email.

I really like Bibletime's interface although my main
usage will be on Windows. Is the most advanced
front-end for SWORD on the Windows platform "Sword
Project for Windows"? I also saw a Java version called
JSword which should work on both Windows and linux.
Howw powerful is the interface of JSword?

Yes general books are more arbitrary in structure than
the Bible books. But as for the Quran, the structure
is very simple. It is the same structure as a book of
the Bible: Chapters are titled "Chapter 1", "Chapter
2" and so on, and in each chapter verses are numbered
1,2,3, and so on. So it is really the same structure
as many of the books of the bible such as Genesis,
Exodus, Jonah and most other books of the Bible. The
structure of the Quran fits the Bible display in the
Sword Project for Windows perfectly. Would it be
possible to add the Quran to the dropdown list that
also shows the books of the Bible. For example Quran
could be added after Revelation of John and then
viewed in the same way that the books of the Bible are
viewed. Would it be possible to do this without making
a change in the software?

Thank you and God bless,
Mete
