Re: [sword-devel] ICU and internationalization in sword

I agree with Joel. ICU dependancy is the price we have to pay for clean Unicode support. We also will need it for the locale handling (toupper). Martin Am Dienstag, 1. Oktober 2002 00:40 schrieb Joel Mawhorter: > Hi all, > > I'm writting to get reactions to the idea of making sword dependent o

[sword-devel] ICU and internationalization in sword

2002-09-30 Thread Joel Mawhorter
Hi all, I'm writting to get reactions to the idea of making sword dependent on ICU. Currently we only have optional dependencies on ICU (at least for transliteration but I'm not sure what else). I would like to suggest making ICU required for sword. The reason I would like to see this happen i

[sword-devel] The OSIS Vision vs STEP

2002-09-30 Thread Don A. Elbourne Jr.
STEP was supposed to be the same thing, and it appears to have flopped. I hope OSIS succeeds. As a format, it is better, but I am partial to XML. As far as vision goes, I'm not sure what real world advantages it will have over STEP, if any. by grace alone, Don A. Elbourne Jr. http://elbourne.org

Maybe I didn't expound very well. I feel that Zondervan will offer their NIV text in OSIS format very soon. If you are worried about using your favourite copyrighted texts in SWORD, you should feel confident that they will be available as OSIS texts in the near future, and sword will read OS
