[sword-devel] French versification schemes

In anticipation of these versifications being added to SWORD lib, I’ve added them to JSword. If these are not current, I’ll update them with whatever is checked into SWORD.

We still need to add mapping files to and from the KJV for JSword. (Somebody will need to do that for SWORD too!) That’ll take a few hours apiece, but is not too hard. (I hope.) Doing so takes analysis of Psalm titles, figuring out which verses are split, merged or otherwise not present in one or the other. The format that JSword and SWORD uses is significantly different. I’ll comment the JSword mappings well enough that they can be helpful to creating the SWORD mappings.

None of the links to dom.corbex.org <http://dom.corbex.org/> that are mentioned below are current. Most give a 404 — Not Found error.

In His Service,
	DM

Emptyvss reports 4 empty verses from 2Tim.3.14 to 2.Tim.3.17, certainly a glitch in the digitization process, the 4 verses, although present in the printed Bible, are not in the source file.
