[sword-devel] New Module

[anthony kerr]

Hi team hope you are well and trusting in our great God and saviour Jesus.

Graham Nind posted the following message on sword-support a few days ago, 
announcing a new BHS module with strongs numbers. I have checked it out 
briefly and it works well in Bibletime.

Could someone add this module to the download section or propose a course of 
action?

In Christ
