Greg, I didn't mean to trigger anything between Windows and Linux users !! To be honest, all I'm trying to do is create one Bible to submit to the team for use on the various platforms. So I'm not going to be a regular user and Linux is therefore too much of a learning curve for me. My main aim is to have it available on the Bible Tool so that web users can easily access it. Can you tell me if this is able to show a11v now, or is it going to be available soon? John Duffy

I'm only using Windows and the default Windows version is 1.5.11. I wouldn't know where to start to get Linux working. Is it fair to say that I cannot use alt v11n in Windows at present? If so, how long is it estimated before it will be possible, if it is planned? John, If you're looking for a front-end, I know that Xiphos has a Windows version out that is based off of 1.6.0 (I think including some currently in-SVN patches, but I'm not sure). BPBible also runs on Windows from what I understand, but I don't follow it so I don't know what library version it is based off of. BibleTime is known to compile and run, but you'd probably have to work on that yourself, since I haven't built a version since 2.1 due to an icon display issue I can't sort out (not a bug, so much as a packaging and linking problem). Of course, if you're generating modules, you will need the tools/utilities. Generally these are released more frequently than the Windows application (BibleCS is its name, actually, though I don't know how prominently displayed that is) and Chris Little released the latest version that I remember. You can search back through this list's archives to find when he last released them and the URL for them. I seem to remember them being based off of post-1.6.0 SVN, but I'm not sure. The easiest bet, I'm sorry to say, is probably to become familiar with Linux and compile the code from SVN yourself to use the latest versions of the tools, since the ones with 1.6.0 are very likely to be outdated. I say "esiest" but obviously, that's only in the very-long term, because it will allow you to stay up-to-date with the code at your own leisure and not be reliant on someone else to publish new versions of the tools built for Windows when they feel the need. Hope that helps! --Greg John Duffy _____ From: Greg Hellings [mailto:greg.helli...@gmail.com] Sent: 01 October 2009 17:58 To: johndu...@cgcf.net; SWORD Developers' Collaboration Forum Subject: Re: [sword-devel] Help wanted on non-canonical text Perhaps you should look at version 1.6.0, one of its primary reasons for jumping version numbers being that it supports various versification schemes other than the KJV that prior versions were stuck with. You can find it on the website as the default version to download when you go through the Linux option of which software you want. --Greg
