[sword-devel] Sword for VB

[Greg Marine]

Thank you Chris! I'll have a look at the older stable one. For now, I'm 
just doing a proof of concept for the front end of things, so I may not 
need any code updates to the ActiveX control for Sword. Although there 
may be some Visual Studio folks out there who might be interested in 
that control.

I appreciate the pointer. I'll check it out!

God Bless <><
