The main thing that icu-sword does is include Borland C++ Builder projects/fixes. This is really the hard part. I tried to update us to 2.4 about a month ago and failed, but it's on my todo list to get it working (after a few more pressing issues). Aside from that, the only changes are to data files. icu-sword removes all non-required locales and adds a bunch of new transliterators (though some of these are now available in ICU 2.4). I think that normcode utility was in there from when icu-sword was based on ICU 1.8, which (IIRC) didn't include the uconv utility that 2.0+ have--which provides the same (and much more) functionality. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
