[sword-devel] iPhone developers?

[Ian Wagner]

Ok, sounds good. I will post updated source this evening and e-mail  
you as soon as it is up. Thank you for being understanding. I am  
currently going for my B.S. in CS (finishing the sophomore year right  
now)! Unfortunately I will not be able to chat on #sword until after I  
am done with school (May 9th) because of the said network access  
restrictions on-campus :(
