Few years ago, I modified the SWORD for Windows to include the Catholic Bible. Here is the link you can download it with the Catechism of the Catholic Church: http://cathnet.org/projects/jerome/cnsoftware/holybible/

I've not personally done anything as I'm as busy as anybody else, on top of being perpetually in ADHD mode. :) I basically know what needs to be done, but I have to wrap my head around the engine quite a bit more before I feel I can personally start any work. I'm willing to head or simply be involved in this effort. Also, I wrote a program that converts the various texts from the Vulsearch (vulsearch.sourceforge.net) project to OSIS formatted texts that can be converted to Sword modules. The idea in the end is to setup a cron job that grabs the update.txt file from the Vulsearch site and regenerate the modules if necessary (I was planning to host this on the Cathnet server, I hadn't talked about this on Sword yet.) I basically have permission to use the Vulgate text and the update file (which is why its a public file), but I may need to get further permission to use contributed texts such as the DRC. Regardless, I can generate a proofread DRC module as a genbook for testing (might be better for us non Greek speaking people who don't yet know what to make of the LXX.) -DJ Eeli Kaikkonen wrote: > Frontend developers and end users are of course interested in having > good support for navigating in a Bible so that giving a reference as > input would give the expected output.
