Hi Paul,Chris!!!!!
To make a long story short: We had locked Gill's Expositor to make Larry
Pierce happy. He is somehow responsible for the module's digitization and
claims copyright (either because he's lying or because he's completely
ignorant of copyright law). Back when we locked it, Larry was giving us
permission to distribute his KJV with Strong's. Unfortunately, Larry's
program, the Online Bible, hasn't advanced into the 21st century (meaning
it's ugly and has a poor user interface--not to say that BibleCS's is any
better), so naturally Larry blamed us for the fact that fewer and fewer
people want to use his software. As a result, he reneged on his
permission and began spreading lies about us. I don't see much reason to
make Larry Pierce happy anymore, so I'll unlock the Gill Expositor
shortly. It will take a little while, though, since it needs some significant cleanup.

I was aware of the, errrmmmm..... "issues" between Sword and Larry, but didn't realize that was why the locked Gill's.
Sure will make life a lot less painful, I guarantee, as I've been sitting here trying to write a parsing routiine to get rid of the e-Sword-specific formatting codes in that humongous 64MB Access file. (actually, I exported it to FoxPro... that way I have the memo field separate in an .fpt file.) Kind of the long way around, but I'm still trying to get the rust out of my programming chops.... ya snooze, ya lose, I guess.
Looking forward to seeing the finished goody!
Thanks again,
God Bless,
Paul
