[sword-devel] Re: Sword += Pocket PC

Mon Oct 4 08:20:11 MST 2004

Hi Troy,

I took a look at the gui.  It gives me something to go on and actually 
works fairly well (the search feature appears to bomb out on big 
searches on my Toshiba 750).
I have some gui ideas that I would like to see after using OliveTree and 
e-sword but I need to take time out and just make sure I understand how 
the sword libs are used. 

I like e-sword because it has a lot more available then OliveTree, but 
the search facilities are as slow as death (I can't believe he uses any 
indexing at all, or at least very basic).  But sword would be the best 
solution I think ;)

By " That pumpkin is available if you'd like to hold it," do you mean no 
one is working on this right now?  If there is no one else to consult 
with I'll just start hacking away.

>Although I am not a very good C++ programmer and have never build anything for WinCE/Pocket PC, I would be more than happy to support the effort to bring Sword to those devices. If anything, I would be happy to test anything you all come up with. Right now I feel I'm stuck with e-Sword...I hate that feeling :-) Mr. Meyers keeps his a closed project. The Sword project is as open as God's love for us :-) That's what attracts me most to this one. Please let me know how I can be of service.
