[sword-devel] AbbottSmith module question

[DM Smith]

The AbbottSmith module has excellent content. I’m having some problems getting it to work in any SWORD or a JSword front-end (due to bugs in JSword).

I’m wondering how it is supposed to work in a SWORD front-end.

It is keyed to Strong’s numbers. Each Strong’s number begins with the letter G and is followed by the number, but not padded. These are sorted as:
*blank key*
>
G1
G10
G100
G1000
G1001
….
G2
G20
G200
….
and so forth.

(The first two entries in the modules are bugs, probably in the module making utility. But that is another issue.)

Each of these entries is linked to the entry for the corresponding Greek word. These are fully accented words. In the index they are sorted according to their upper case representation. They follow the entries beginning with G.

In my Windows VM, I’m not able to get the KJV to show up in either Xiphos or The SWORD Project for Windows. (Others have reported this problem. And I’m not interested in “going there.”) As such I can’t determine if I were to use AbbottSmith as a Greek Strong’s Dictionary how it would or if it’d work.

In Him,
