Hi John,<br><br>This is a very disorganised area.<br><br>1) the basic expectation from CrossWire's site is that each front-end creates the indeces on the device, does not receive them as downloads<br><br>2) as mobile phones were at least in the past not always capable of creating their own indeces PocketSword at least released some indeces for download. I was not aware that And Bible did the same, but I am not surprised. That said, today's phones are more than capable of producing their own indeces.<br><br>3) downloads are precarious as the format of the indeces is not in our hand, them being produced by variable versions of Lucene and cLucene. Right now there is a discrepancy between PocketSword's expectation and the currently on our server produced indeces. I have not yet got to the bottom of it. <br><br>In summary, producing and maintaining indeces is precarious and increasingly only a pain. I do not think you should produce them and I think any remaining n ing front-ends using downloads will hopefully move on from that <br><br>Yours<br><br>Peter<br><br>Sent from my mobile.
