Troy,

Thanks for the answers to my question.  I've got some other thoughts and responses buried below.

Cheers,

Bobby

Bobby,

long         *VerseKey::offsets[2][2]  = {{VerseKey::otbks,
VerseKey::otcps}, {VerseKey::ntbks, VerseKey::ntcps}};

long *[][] is 3 dimensional (notice the *) just use long[][][]

Doh!  I missed the asterisk entirely.  Shame on me for letting my C/C++ skills deteriorate so badly :-(

The first 2 dimensions are constant; the last is different for each
entry.

Uh oh.  This might cause problems since Java arrays are constant size once defined.  I'll look at implementing as Vectors instead.

nt.vss is an index file that contains a series of 6 byte records that
store u32 offset; u16 size;  so it might look something like:

offset	size
  0	 50
 50	120
170	 30
200	 45
...

Since Java doesn't have unsigned variable types, I'll probably have to do something slightly different here.   Shouldn't be too hard, though.  "Small hurdle for a high stepper" as my Mom was fond of saying during my formative years :-)

Hope this helps.

Yes, it helps tremendously!  Now, I'll be able to get my arms around the rest of the code and at least have a conceptual understanding of what the author's intent was.  That's always the toughest challenge, in my opinion.

Thanks,

Bobby
