Your call ... I found the test\*.cpp files to be very helpful to debug-step-around in the sword-api to figure out how it works. Other than biblecs and search.cpp, there isn't sample code to learn about how "search" works. I think there are advantages to having "baby steps" to get up to speed ... something less comprehensive and complicated than diatheke. > > (or > > perhaps detect -help or /? and make substitutes if this would throw > > off apps that use diatheke for real work?) > > I'm not clear on what you're asking here, but it sounds like you're > basically saying diatheke should print a default verse (based on the > code snippet).

(The -help or /? were for the situation you mention.)

The problem will come up that code compiled with vc7.1 will be looking for libswordvc71[d].lib and vc6 will be looking to resolve with libswordvc6[d].lib. There isn't much maintainence to these files ... they are fixed as long as the directory structure is stable. They aren't impacted by files coming and going from libswordvc##.lib _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
