It is just an idea, discussed recently by friends listening to excellent
free Old Testament audio files
(http://www.audioscriptures.com/audio/0123-01/OT/OT.htm).
Do you think that mp3s, synchronized with, let's say, Bible chapters,
should be supported by the SWORD Project?
If the answer is YES:
Hello all,
I have made some progress on the windows CE sword reader. The
user-interface does no longer suffer from unnecessary long delays. In
fact, the code has been optimized to the limit for speed. The new
version can be downloaded from:

I don't use MS Word. What exactly do these macros do? I wonder if it would
be better to do something in OpenOffice.org that would do the same thing.
Migrating to OOo would save a lot of money in the long run.

First of all, I have yet to succeed in making a module; see my post from last
Thursday, subject "Trying to make my first module". All the examples I can
find are compressed, but before one can compress a module one must have a
working non-compressed version, right? I get b

I was thinking the same thing (I would go wxPython) the only problem I
found is that the macros seem to make heavy use of the in built
functions of Microsoft word, such as the spell checker and the grammar

Thank you. This all works for me, and gives me a path forward.
I was trying to use OSIS format rather than the (Sword-specific?) imp format,
but I'll cheerfully abandon that for something I can actually get to work!

Good point. The first thing they need to do is achieve a standard platform.
OOo would seem to be the most reasonable solution. Could the one
maintaining communication with them ask them as to the feasibility of
selecting a standard platform? And then of making this platform OOo?
This question s
There is the possiblity of not doing either and writing a stand alone app to
meet the needs. The app could spit out a rtf or even .doc that would work in
OO and in Word.

I have had the RSV converted to OSIS format for about a year now, but
haven't had a usable importer to run on it. Troy thinks he got his
importer working last week. Unfortunately, OSIS has changed a lot in

As the Module Making guide says (and the utility name implies), xml2gbs is
for GenBook modules. You're probably generating a valid GenBook, but your
.conf file is trying to access a Bible, with effect being that it cannot
find it.
The vaguely-named osis2mod is what you'll need to convert OSIS doc
I'll toss this tid-bit out for consideration, not that it has especially
much relevence or importance: there's a bit of work going on, I believe,
to create an OSIS export facility for Word 2003.
