[sword-devel] Scripture Tools for Every Person

[David Instone-Brewer]

Chris, thanks for pointing out these errors, and for pointing out the 
lack of mention of Crosswire in the Press Release - a bad oversight.
The STEP Bibles project does indeed depend heavily on the Crosswire 
modules and JSword.
In the early days of hte project Troy convinced me that you guys had 
sorted out so many difficult problems that it would be silly to start 
from scratch.
The modules and the coding are also being kept up to date so we 
decided to team up and work with Crosswire.
It was a great decision, and I hope that it will be a two-way 
relationship so that Crosswire will also benefit.
