[sword-devel] Xiphos 3.0.0 released

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Sorry, my last email wasn't exactly clear.  I know a little more about 
the problem then what was posted on the email list.  I believe the issue 
comes from reading the home directory from getenv() method calls which 
return char *.  What is encoded in the char * might be interesting to 
hear about.  Does winderz return UTF-8 or upper-ascii single-byte for 
the accented e?
