I appreciate your eagerness and your service.

I can work with specifics fairly quickly. That vlsJoNT doesn’t work is helpful 
and I can look to see what’s where on the guest and host, but that still leaves 
me sleuthing for the specifics. I don’t know the text type to know what 
category to look under (though I can guess that NT means that it is a Bible) 
and I don’t know the language as it would appear in a front-end. Then I don’t 
know what front-end can see it and which cannot. (There are three different 
mechanisms: SWORD, PocketSword and JSword and each has a different issues that 
needs to be diagnosed.) When I have little time and hardly any specifics, I 
don’t try as it might be more than I have.

Can you be more specific?

I’m looking for a simple solution (e..g. sync more often) or a solvable problem 
(we also need to sync xyz, but didn’t) and have limited time.

In Him,
        DM
