The SWORD Project for Windows is the only full native SWORD frontend for Windows. You can try JSword, but (admittedly speaking from ignorance) I doubt you will find its interface to GenBooks superior to that of the SWORD Project for Windows. > Yes general books are more arbitrary in structure than > the Bible books.

I think that would be a wonderful way of really ticking Jews, Christians, and Muslims off. It really wouldn't make any sense from a hierarchal viewpoint to group together works that have no books in common (Bibles and Qur'ans), as if they were varieties of the same work. Besides that, it is extremely non-trivial to just add another book. Daniel is making it much more trivial, I believe, but even were his work already complete, we still wouldn't add books TO the Bible that are not books OF the Bible. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
