[sword-devel] .Net/C# and Sword

[Greg Hellings]

Has anyone put together a .NET wrapper for Mozilla?  Since Bibletime is
already using the GRE, might you be able to leverage someone else's work to
control the GRE from .NET/C#?  Just a thought...  (One sample might be
Gecko#<http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfcontent/downloads.php/monowin32/GRE%20for%20Gecko-Sharp/>which
is available at that link).
