Dear Сергей,
Glad you got it working!  I am not sure I understand your question.  I 
think you are probably asking about how a particular sword frontend 
presents its sword book library.  What software are you using?

> Dear Troy!
> Thank you very much. Finaly with your help and the help of searching archive for october I managed to make sword 1.5.9, and already made first book from CCEL as a test.
> After weekend I want to proceed with Russian book.
> Is it possible to have categories not like /Books/English/[name of the book], but also something like this /Books/[Language]/[Author]/[Name of the book] or /Books/[Author]/[Name of the book]?

> Thank you!

>> Сергей,

>> [root at charis ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i icu
>> libicu-3.4-6.2
>> libicu-devel-3.4-6.2
>> icu-3.4-6.2
