Yes, up to now implementations have been at best splintered. GS has supported sword:// for a long time, and the implementation has recently been merely tightened up; it's still local-only support. We have an open feature request to inhale BibleTime's mechanism for remote control of such a sort, but the folks who asked for it are the developers of "bibledit" editing software and when I downloaded, built, and tried to run bibledit, it mostly just crashed repeatedly. So I don't have a good proof case for what they would have liked to see. Part of the plan for GS prior to this was a control mechanism after the fashion of gaim-remote or firefox-remote. But doing any of these has fallen by the wayside while we have worked on more important and imposing tasks. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
