Ahh, that C API looks like what I would want. I didn't mean to disparage or be uppity by stating my preference for standardization; I greatly appreciate what this project (I use And Bible on my phone). This is by far the smaller of my two concerns. I may also suffer from not-invented-here syndrome

Greg, Diatheke on Ubuntu 18.04LTS is broken since Ubuntu 18 released. The bugs were identified and fixed by this team on around march of 2018, but the way the features freeze on Ubuntu, it remains broken. trying to update only the sword package without updating the core is locked by dependencies.

Beyond the specific request for OSIS version of KJV w strongs, I use diatheke on the Linux command line, although I had to build a virtual session with Ubuntu19.04 because ubuntu 18.04 was shipped with a sword engine that contains bugs.. If you're seeing the doubled last verse from diatheke, just u

Thanks for the responses. I will consider using the Sword library. One reason I am reluctant to do so is my preference for C over C++. Another is my preference for building software on top of standards instead of ad-hoc knowledge. > This is the beauty of the Sword library. It hides all the rest of

There are a lot of places to get scripture in free formats. OSIS supported by the Sword project is very old, and not many places still provide it. I suggest you start at ebible.org, https://ebible.org/download.php which provides the KJV with strongs in OSIS among other formats. https://ebible.or

Hi, I'd stick trying to leverage on sword libraries instead of reinventing the wheel. Or do you have any constrains? Have you seen pysword? It seems to be a fairly obvious choice. Kind regards, Kristof On Tue, Mar 10, 2020 at 10:09 PM Philip White wrote: > Hi, > > I'm interested in building a

Hi, I'm interested in building a linux command line module viewer. From the wiki and the FAQ, it seems that the only way to work with the modules available from the website is to use the SWORD library. If the raw OSIS files were available, then I think I could write a low-dependency piece of softw
