[sword-devel] Windows CE

[Daniel Blake]

Thanks Troy,

    I mistakenly thought QPSword was the Windows CE version.  Opps.  Thanks
for clearing that up for me.  I have downloaded SwordReader and will get it
installed in the next day or two.

Is SwordReader written in Embedded C++?  What would I need to Checkout from
CVS to have everything I need to compile SwordReader.  As I said I am not a
developer but I am a WannaBe.

I am trying to learn Visual Basic now.  After that I might try C++.  That
could be quite some time down the road though.  I haven't had much time to
devote to learning to program.

Thanks for all the great work everybody.

Daniel Blake
