Hello windows CE developpers,
In the last couple of weeks I did not have much time to work on the
windows CE project, due to exams, my graduation project and applying for
jobs. This is why I have not been active for a while.
Anyway, I see some great progress on the project! I got some errors, but
at least they were nicely formatted :-) . After I included an extra
header somewhere I could compile the most recent sources and after I
downloaded and installed the kjv version it kind of runs right now. I
say 'kind of', because my emulator runs out of memory and my IPAQ puts a
lot of unreadable characters after each verse. It is by the way also
very slow. I will look at it this afternoon.
I see a lot of new features in the menu. This is very good, but please
keep in mind that the philosophy behind this application is that it
should be very easy for everyone to quickly read in the bible. Things
like simplicity, speed, screen usage and mouse-clicks should not suffer
from new features. I am very pleased with the way they appear in the
menu right now.
I will try get the search-page of the application to work. I look
forward to see how God guides this project further.
Greetings,
Johan
Oh Troy, my memory card located at '/Storage Card' (Ipaq 1915).

Subject: [sword-devel] New Test, CE: strongs, morph, footnotes
Added very basic support for display of Strong's, Morph, and Footnotes
in a simple message box. It uses StripText right now, but we probably
should use RenderText and display in an HTML control. But... it works
ok right now. :) Also added an additional AugmentPath= to the .conf
file. It seems my device uses "\SD Card" as the mount point whereas
another device I tried the other day uses "\Memory Card". They're both
in there now.
