Jeff,
This would be a bug. It has been reported, is fixed and will be a part
of the next release.
If you don't want to wait you can get a nightly build zip file from
www.crosswire.org/jsword/download.jsp
Replace BibleDesktop's jsword-1.0.jar and jsword-common-1.0.jar with the
ones from the zip.
Don't replace the other jars.
If you have any more questions or issues with BibleDesktop, let's
discuss them on the jsword-devel or the bibledesktop-user mailing list.
You can join here: http://www.crosswire.org/jsword/maillists.html

Thanks for the info! Works very nicely.
Another question, if I may: BibleDesktop is correctly reading the
Thompson's Chain Reference module, but it gives only the headers, and
not the scripture references that accompany those headers. Is there
something I should be turning on in the preferences area?
Thanks again!

Jeff,
You can tell BibleDesktop to use them. But it should see them without
doing anything.
On the Tools menu choose Options. Then pick "Sword Books" (in
BibleDesktop modules are called books).
There you will find "Path Editor" where you would list places
BibleDesktop should look for modules. Pick the directory that
contains mods.d and modules. Typically on windows this would be
C:\Program Files\CrossWire\The SWORD Project. (While it is not clear
from the page, it should grab all modules at this path, without
adding it to the list.) You can add as many different directories
containing modules as you like.
The "Download Directory" contains the path to the location where you
want BibleDesktop to download modules. This can be set to the same
path as The SWORD Project for Windows, if you like. The important
thing to note, is that BibleDesktop will allow you to manage this
area. You will be able to add and delete modules in this location,
but not the other ones listed in "Path Editor".
If you do set the Download Directory to the same as The SWORD Project
for Windows, then that program will be able to see, use and manage
the modules.
However, if you uninstall The SWORD Project for Windows, it will
delete all the modules. So if you are sharing the modules between
different applications (e.g. LCDBible, BibleDesktop) copy/move mods.d
and modules to a safe location. (The next release will remedy this
problem)

I have Sword Project with various modules already downloaded. Can I
tell BibleDesktop to use those modules, or do I need to download
them again?
Thanks!

Elia,
Have you looked at BibleDesktop (www.crosswire.org/bibledesktop)
which runs on Windows, Linux, Mac and many other places that Java
1.4+ runs.
BibleDesktop supports Hebrew modules and we'd love to get feedback
on how to improve it for right to left languages. (The user
interface has not been localized to any languages other than English)
If you are interested you could probably port JSword (a Java
version of the Sword API) to PocketPC. And use that to develop a UI
for the PocketPC. I have found that good C++ programmers can read
and write Java easily.

Hello there,
Let me 1st thank you for a great product. I am using it both the
linux version and on my pocketpc. I find the linux version to be
the best bible software available, so keep up the great work.
however, the pocketpc version is a bit problematic - the hebrew
(my language) is broken and verses longer than 1 line are not
aligned - this forces me to use the english version, which
disturbs me quite a bit.
I am not a pocketpc developer, but i do code in c/c++ so I thought
to give it a try and maybe enhance the pocketpc version (which
hasnt been updated since 2004). If I'll succeed - with God's
blessings - I hope it will be a way to give others something back.
If not - well, it will be a trial i wont regret.
I hope you can send me any relevant information and links for the
sword pocketpc sources and maybe any tips on compiling them on my
linux desktop.
Thanks again,
with Blessings,
