[sword-devel] Does Eloquent use only the core library of SWORD or more than that? e.g. the clucene library, zlib, etc.

[Timothy Shen-McCullough]

Thank you for the info including regarding that iOS can use frameworks. I knew that iOS could use frameworks, but I didn't know that only iOS 8 and up could use it. 

So, if I'm understanding you correctly you are able to take the download of SWORD (along with the 3rd party libraries that come with it) and convert it into an Xcode framework without having to edit any of the code?

Since I've been trying to work on the PocketSword code, I'm curious as to how its desktop counterpart handles tasks. Does it use the same libraries of code that comes with the SWORD code or if not, which ones are used and which ones are not?
