There is an updated version of the SWORD API that deals with the OSIS markup in the KJV2003 project. It is only available via cvs at the moment, and only the RTF filters support it. My hope is that the Bibletime or Gnomesword guys will have a chance to look at gbfrtf.cpp and apply the same changes to the gbfhtml*.cpp filters. A new windows binary built against the newest code dubbed 1.5.5a has replaced 1.5.5 and the _Starter Pack_ bundle has changed in the following ways:
KJV has been changed to use a snapshot of the KJV2003 text.
Thayer has been replaced with StrongsGreek.
The Robinson module has been added to handle the new morphology tags that Thayer used to handle for the 'upper level Strong's numbers' that were in the old text KJV text.
BDB has been replaced with StrongsHebrew
Person Commentary module has been left unchanged.
Also the Thayer and BDB modules have been removed from our public circulation but are still in our module list. If the user requests them, they will be directed to the organization claiming copyright on them, like all of our other restricted modules.
I hope this satisfies everyone. I realize that the KJV2003 project isn't yet complete and it is unfortunate that we must release it in it's unfinished state. My hope is to make frequent updated releases of the new KJV module as the project progresses.
In the Grace of Our Lord,
-Troy.

Larry,
I'm working to removing your KJV+strongs module today. I've given you a link to the KJV2003 project in the past, but am providing you with it again here:
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/kjv2003
You can read about our process for developing this text, but in short, we have 14 skilled volunteers tagging assigned sections of Scripture by hand with a tool that allows them to fairly easily do so. I'm sure they'd be happy to email you and describe their experiences if you still don't believe that we are undertaking this task. Most of them are received a CC: of this message.
I will let you know when the text is removed from all of our projects here (we have many frontends that use our library), as most of them use the kjv+strongs text, and many have their own packaging for this text.
I'm quite disappointed with your decision to not share what God has blessed you with, with the rest of God's family. Are you quite sure the people who paid you all this money to develop this free work didn't intend for it to be freely usable by all? It would even seem to me that if you were, indeed, paid over $150,000 to develop this free work, that the paying company would be the guardian of the license of this effort. May I ask who paid you to do this work?
______________________________________________
Also, may I ask a more important question:
Would you mind telling me and all of these other brothers and sisters why you've suddenly chosen to not let us use these works? Why don't you want these valuable works distributed by anyone but you? Is your goal the most widespread furthering of the Kingdom, or something lesser?
______________________________________________
In any case our KJV2003 text will be available to all of these other projects and to you, as well, and include much more precise markup of the Greek/English relationship between the KJV and Stephanas Textus Receptus. I'm sorry that you didn't wish to offer your contribution in the production of the next level of this type of data and tool for God's Church. The offer is always open.
Complying with your request as fast as we can. In Christ,
-Troy.

Troy,
Please delete the database for the Strongs numbers and the two lexicons you
took from the Online Bible. I some wild stretch of your imagination you
think these are public domain. I had sent you and extract so you could
identify them. I think you renamed them to Thayers and BDB to cover your
scelerous deeds.
I have asked several times before and this is the last time. You are
stalling for time and sobbing that you have been slandered. Well, the
courts are open. You are guilt as sin and you know it. Others should know
it too!
Will go through rest of your material later.
1) Please detail how you will completely encode the Bible to Strongs so
quickly without perloining existing copyrighted material. If you cannot,
why should I not shall assume the worst and act accordingly?
see above.
2) How do you identify material under copyright? Do you talk to the creator
of the material to see how it was prepared or just make assumptions?
we hope the material bears a descriptively precise license and copyright status notice. If not, many time we'll post the data and wait for someone to contact us if there is a problem. We've not had anyone, beside yourself, be in the least bit irate or upset with our methods or efforts.
3) Why do you not want to give me you home address and phone number? What are you afraid of?
You have my office address, it's posted on crosswire.org and you've had my home phone number in the past, but I don't feel I wish to expose myself and family to your current tone and state of mind, at your discretion, so I'm quite pleased you've forgotten it.
