[sword-devel] Bishop for Android 1.0.7

[David Haslam]

Vince,

The B for Bishop column was added very recently to the tables on the wiki page.

It's up to Troy and others to add the answers to this column.

I don't have a working Android device.

btw.  Has you friend used And Bible ?

Best regards, David

There are 450+ Bibles in there, out of almost 800 total, and the About handler is going to the trouble to crawl around mods.d/*.conf for ALL of them. It takes upwards of half a minute, and previously I had killed it off after waiting maybe 10 or 15 seconds...because it looked like a hard lock-up when all I wanted was, you know, About.
