John (or SonWon?)<br>
Welcome to the community. <br>
<br>
There is a Windows Mobile Version of Sword in the making, it is called
SwordReader. I recently spent a lot of time doing a rewrite and
restructuring the code base. It is now very structured. I do not use
MFC, but I did write a framework that somewhat mimics MFC. I also wrote
my own HTML renderer to give us greater control over the rendering of
biblical texts, as well as a bit of a performance boost. <br>
<br>
We would love to have your help on this project, please consider
joining our team as opposed to starting your own venture. Together we
can produce more feature rich software in a shorter amount of time.<br>
<br>
In Christ,<br>
David Trotz<br>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have experience in programming
with Embedded Visual C++. I actually wrote a proprietary Bible Reader
for Windows Mobile based PDAs. However, I now desire to build an
opensource Bible reader for all to use, since I don't care for any of
the available Bible readers on the market today. My strength is
actually more towards a usable interface design rather than coding, but
I am able to get the code to work. :) I am a coding hack but will try
to be more structured with this project. My focus is on ease of use so
the software doesn't get in the way of reading and understanding God's
Word.</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have chosen The Sword Project
because of the openness and because of the large library of modules to
choose from.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">My plan is to write a reader that
will be able to use all of the available modules in the library. I
also hope to incorporate module downloading from the Internet, but this
would be a later goal.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">From browsing the archives, it
appears there is an API that will allow me to read the various file
formats of the modules? Please correct me if I am confused.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"
style="border: medium none ; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I think to get started I should
take existing source code to learn how to read the various modules.<span
style=""> </span>I am thinking The Sword Project for windows would
be the best match. But, I am also considering the QPSWORD version.
This would require me to use/learn QT for coding though. And I
understand from QT that I would still need to compile my code in MS
Visual Studio (VS). I am leaning towards just using MS VS. Speaking
of which, does anyone know where I can obtain an inexpensive copy of MS
VS ($300 is more than I can spare at the moment. I would then use the
appropriate code from that reader to use in the mobile version with
mobile specific modifications. I would prefer to only work with C++
since I have no experience working with MFC, etc.</span></p>
