Thanks for the welcome.
I would appreciate your assistance with the links and TWiki hints/shortcuts. I am interested in learning, using, and enhancing (when experience allows) the SWORD API. I've been evaluating different bible projects and was led to participate in Crosswire's work. I want to see the SWORD API continue to mature and be refined so that it can be easily used for many Christian works. Perhaps to even address the complexity you encountered without reducing its power. I am a 20 veteran of the IT industry with extensive experience in software design, development, and implementation as an international cross-platform developer/consultant/business owner. Based on the comments made in the archives, I don't stand alone in type of experience. It nice to work among peers.
I've retired from IT and have moved into Christ's service full-time. I do the work of a missionary/pastor in the suburbs of Atlanta. My wife speaks Greek fluently. I lived in Israel for a year and learned to speak modern Hebrew. My conversational skills are rusty, but my reading skills are sharp enough for bible study. It is important to me to have a bible software program that I can recommend and "give" freely to those who would not spend money on such a program. I believe it will allow me to assign in-depth "homework" for discipleship.
Evangelism, discipleship, and worship are my primary labors. I work beyond the walls because that is where the lost souls and, in increasing number, the hurting sheep reside (and it's where I'm called). My wife excels in practical compassion and I in intangible compasion (inner healing, questions of faith and heart). We make a great team, nicely balanced.

Something you might consider getting involved in ... the LcdBible "frontend". One of its objectives is to provide a "newbie friendly" situation which might simplify the "learning curve" for eventually participating The SWORD Project development. It uses an "experimental plug-in subset" of the vastly comprehensive sword-api.Here is a link to an earlier post, "Recruiting volunteers to help with LcdBible project": http://www.crosswire.org/pipermail/sword-devel/2003-December/020071.html and a webpage link: http://lcdbible.sourceforge.net For His glory and honor, Lynn Allan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Mickelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 7:42 PM Subject: [sword-devel] Probs. w/SWORD API with C++Builder 6.0Joachim - Thanks for your answers! Remaining questions for anyone with answers: I'm running into to numerous snags with building sword and the other modules using C++ Builder 6. Is this common? Also, are there any components that need to be installed? Are there any extra steps needed to establish a golden development environment? And finally, what and where is the source for the last stable build (1.5.6)? I'd like to start with that unless that is going too far backwards. I'm trying to shorten the learning curve by playing with a working model.
