[sword-devel] website down?

2002-08-25 Thread Jordan Wiens
Just checking; is the crosswire.org website down for anyone else? It looks like the host is up, but the wbserver isn't running. I've checked from three unrelated locations on the net and it seems to be the case. Just figured I'd mention it in case nobody knew yet... -- jordan

[sword-devel] Glossary vs. Dictionary

You won't find the latest help file much help with that. As far as I know, there are no glossaries to test. So I didn't have any results to document. This option always confused me... Can somebody give me a quick definition and an example for Glossary(as opposed to dictionary) in a Sword
