Hi,<br>
yes, I was referring to the Sword gui front-end. But I saw that
there are installation files for Linux also. Thus I thought it was not
using win32 specific components (riched32.dll, etc.). I did not have a
chance to try Sword under Linux. Do you perhaps know how the issue was
solved there?<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>

I suppose you are asking about The SWORD Project's gui application, which is<br>BibleCS (also known as "The SWORD Project for Windows" and aka sword.exe).<br>The sword-api (aka the sword engine) is a C++ library with no gui component.
<br>BibleCS uses the sword-api to access modules such as Bibles, commentaries,<br>etc. and is a "front-end" to display them (along with searching and other<br>functionality, but that is a quick summary).<br><br>
These are my understandings:<br>* BibleCS was developed in Borland C++ Builder 5 (BCB-5),<br>* ongoing development can be done with BCB-6.<br>* BCB provides a wrapper around the Microsoft rtf rich edit<br><br>For the development I've one on a CrossWire front-end, I've been generally
<br>satisfied with rtf. However, one issue about choosing RTF is how concerned<br>you are about compatability with Win9x and WinMe. They came with older<br>versions of riched32.dll and riched20.dll, and my experience is that you
<br>spend quite a bit of time fussing with the differences. On Win2000 and<br>WinXp, I found the rich-edit control to be very capable and more than<br>acceptable to work with. The headache was Win9x support.<br><br>My 2¢ worth.
