Trevor,
I recently brought up the same kind of question in another thread. The
conclusions I have come to so far are: To use the SwordApi with either .NET
or VB6 would require 1 of 3 things:
1)Convert Library to Managed C++ and compile with the C# compiler to .NET
runtime
2)Add COM interfaces to Library
3)Reimplement the Library in C# or VB
All three of these options seem to be considerable work. I was considering the
reimplmentation in C#, but now I'm not sure.
Alternatives:
1) Write application in C++ using either:
a) Cross platform API (wxwindows, qt, fltk, etc...)
b) Windows API (I don't own Visual C++)
If you don't own a C++ compiler for windows Mingw32 should be capable for this
task.
2) Use Diatheke and whatever language you feel like for the UI.
I currently think that using Diatheke is the best option, probably with a .NET
UI. Diatheke is a commandline interface to the Sword API. I'm going to be
investigating this further.
