Couple of points: 1) I am seriously impressed. Installation on Ubuntu was a doodle - installed the extension and advised it where to find jsword and modules
2) re module location - is this really necessary - it seems to me that a) jword is very good in identifying where the modules are (or is the BD?) and b) educated guessing should be 99% successful (/usr/share/sword and ~/.sword are normal on Linux while C://Program Files/Crosswire/The Sword Project/ and C://User and Settings/$user/.sword on Windows is usually correct. 3) It worked with all modules I had, including RtoL ones. So that is pretty good. Peter Brian Fernandes wrote: > Hey Guys, > > The last time I wrote to this list about my Firefox front end, it was > way back in November 07.
