I think the point is not that there is a problem _making_ money from
things spiritual. The problem is related to _charging_ money for things
spiritual. Because when you charge, that implies some people will be
excluded based on income. That's

New driver for reading/writing compressed lexicons/dictionaries is in
the source tree. zLD is the driver name. I just got things to
compile. Too tired to test. Let me know if you look at it.

PS.
I notice that if you increase the font to
improve visibility, it doesn't extend to
the search dialog. This is a problem if you
need the bigger font in order to read it.

Hi all,
I'm new to the SWORD project, but a friend of mine (Timothy Butler) introduced me to

Hello,
Just a few cents worth of opinion:
First off, a statement was made about a week ago that the only reason
capitalism worked better than socialism is because of man's sinfulness.
I beg to differ and believe almost the opposite to be true.
First off, if we are going to discuss capitalism a

first: thanks for this great project! I'm primarily using FreeBSD, so I

Not in the program, but I'll add it. You could, run it through the

supports them. (Swap [0-9] for \d if your regex doesn't supp

Hello William,
this is good news!
Did you have to alter the sources or did you just create binary packages? In
case you had to patch something we should include it in sword cvs.
