Our definitions of playing well are different. Having a directory with "." at the beginning is not playing well. Also, it isn't true that it is only recent versions do not allow acces to Program Files. Windows XP normal users can't write to Program Files (I just tested). Also, sword supports the linux concept of having a shared directory and a personal directory. Windows has this concept too, but it is being ignored in favor of Program Files. This is not playing well. Especially now that we are being told to ignore the correct way to do things on Windows, and told we should agree to do the wrong thing. _______________________________________________ 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
