I am not sure if I can be much help to anyone's efforts to create a new Windows front-end using this new wrapper, but I would sure love to try. I have written software in .NET/C# and enjoy doing so. In the meantime, I would love to work with this wrapper to familiarize myself better with using the Sword API. I use the VS 2005 Express Editions myself, so if I am able to assist you, I already know the development tools you are using!
Please let us know when you have this available and any special notes about it. Question: What are your thoughts for the wrapper's license?
Also, does this mean you will stop work on the wxWidgets/wxMozilla version?
Jason, thank you for your work!!!
God Bless,
Greg M.

Chris,
Did you know that BibleStudy as it currently stands has been updated
to use wxMozilla? It was the only way that I could get proper right to
left rendering working. I will probably take another look at
COM/activex versions of mozilla as I rewrite biblestudy to be .net.
