I grabbed the e-Sword modules first, thinking they were part of this project, and ended up downloading e-Sword to use it. Thus my initial message about the NET Bible. Ironiclly I was introduced to this translation by a Pastor at my church... I've already started to work on the compatablity issues between Windows/Mac/Linux. The Modules that Barry sent me work under Windows (As I suspected they would) but do not under MacSword/GnomeSword. It's probably one of those little quirks that we'll have to work out...
