[sword-devel] Sword for VB

[Greg Marine]

Thank you David! I really appreciate the offer. For now, I'm most 
interested in the interfaces you mentioned not being available in the 
ActiveX control. I eventually want to create an XPCOM wrapper using Java 
by taking advantage of the JSword code.

Again, I thank you for the help!

God Bless <><
