Keith, Did you:
Follow instructions in README. If you're running windows, you'll need to add these executables to the ModEdit directory:http://www.crosswire.org/~scribe/modedit.exe http://www.crosswire.org/~scribe/swicu20.dll
:)
Actually, the windows standalone version is kindof unstable right now (surprise! Thanks MS-- and SUN for not working around them in Java). You'll need to edit ModEdit.properties and set localKJV=false until I get that fixed. Everything else can be local, but this has troubles that I hope to remedy soon.
