Hi, Thanks for the reply. My ISP server seems not to be giving me your emails, probably crosswire on an RBL somewhere, I found your reply in the web based archive. I've signed up under gmail, due to that, so I should be on the list soon. I've also contacted the ISP, trying to get crosswire unblocked.
Anyway, Here goes: The First link's instructions (see below) don't work because TheSword has moved from CVS to SVN, and the instruction page that is linked to about checking out of CVS is _gone_. The Second link's instructions (the tutorial) almost work. I worked through several issues (and emailed the solutions to the guy in the twiki page), but I now have a crash at the mainmgr->Load() call, and am totally stuck. I just now got everything out of SVN, I hope, and nothing matches your documentation, since your documentation is based on CVS. It appears there is no bundle for checking out a coherent directory tree for Windows and building under BCB 6. The SVN instructions aren't fully understandable. It took a while to get the right pattern for biblecs and the icu-sword. They don't check out into directories that make sense. There are no instructions in any of the trees that I've found that give a roadmap. It would be really nice to have a .zip file that you can download (without using SVN) that builds once you've unzipped it into a directory, using BCB6. It can be an older "frozen" system, it would just be nice. Also, if you click on "Task List" under developers section at http://www.crosswire.org, you get a SourceForge page with an Error, indicating that the "Project has turned off Task Manager." I'll muddle down the road. From an absolute dummy's point of view, this project is not coherent. So far, I've hit every roadblock possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
