Dear list members My name is Jan and I am a BeOS programmer. I already mailed Troy and it is about time to introduce myself to the list.
As there is no bible program for the Be Operating System (BeOS) and a friend of mine needed one, I started coding. My program, called Be-Logos, is a frontend to Sword. It now reaches beta status and will be released under GPL soon. While many people consider BeOS a dead system, it still has a small but loyal fellowship. Currently there are some efforts to revive it as Zeta (a commercial all-new BeOS version by the YellowTab company) and as Haiku (an open-source version still to come). Compiling Sword 1.5.7 was no problem at all. Just one minor change was necessary to get it done. (I will post on that soon.) It worked both on BeOS R5 and on Zeta RC2. Thank you for such a portable and powerful program! A first impression of Be-Logos can be found on the webpage: http://www.be-logos.org (I will add some more screenshots in the next days.) Currently I am preparing the first open release (version 0.7), and I have some questions: 1. What are the possible options in the search method? 2. How can I ignore the case when searching? 3. And how do I search for for words A||B instead of A&&B? 4. On the Be-Logos screenshot you can see the Greek Septuagint module without Greek accents. Are they missing in the module or is something wrong with my font? 5. I did not manage to use the progress indicator when searching; it always results in 1% 2% 5% [long pause] 100%. Howcome? Thank you and greetings Jan _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
