Hi Martin ...........

Thanks for your encouragement.

You don't want to host the (locked) files at the main crosswire repo? If you have you own repo at bible.org, we might add this to the list of default repos ("libraries") in BibleTime, so that users will have immediate access to it. I'd prefer the crosswire-hosted solution though.
I'd have preferred that - but NET is maybe a bit different from other bibles. The NET bible is a work in progress, and will be updated and re-released at fairly frequent intervals. There is an on-going database which is continually being updated as the translation team continues its thoughts and its work. From time to time, a version is created from this at a point in time and released. It is important that bible.org can make simultaneous release on the same date for all the bible software that handles NET. I did offer to negotiate with Troy for upload permissions to crosswire for me to to be the NET maintainer for Sword, but the team expressed strong preferences to keep everything on the bible.org site, so I have set up the appropriate structure there for them.

I think David Austin, the permissions manager had correspondence with both Troy and Chris L off list before that decision was made.

ftp.bible.org/sword is where the modules are being kept. The tester modules are there already, and they are about to be updated to version 0.3.3 (I mistakenly said 0.9.3 in my previous message).
There is currently no possibility to enter the key during download, but it can be done thereafter (click on the module and select "unlock work").
That's fine - it would be good to have detailed instructions for the BibleTime user up on the NET website when we do the release if someone would care to write something for me. I haven't used Linux for a while - last time I used BibleTime it had no install manager.

God bless,

Barry
