I'm a newbie programmer and need some help. I have been working on building my own swordbible project and I've run into a problem. Are the modules for the swordbible encrypted? Because I have been having problems compiling it in my API. The current problem I'm having is how do I incorporate the Sword API into VB.Net so that it can read the modules which are compressed using the sword API. Currently the software can read the modules which is not compressed,an example is the King James version which is currently displayed in the software. Currently, the software can download and load all modules in the software. However, for those modules compressed in SWORD format, it cant read the text due to problem above. Do you know how I can use the SWORD API in vb.net or if there is availble Active X for it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

We have a c++ and a java implementation of the engine. (The Java implementation lags the c++ implementation.) These are cross-platform interfaces, working on every OS and not Microsoft specific, as C# and ActiveX would be. You are welcomed to use either of these. We have a swig binding to make the C++ frontend somewhat available to other languages. These might be useful. Regarding compression, we use either Zip or LZSS to compress a "block" held in the index. The file as a whole is not compressed. Also, that you can read the uncompressed format is not surprising, but there is no guarantee the order of the verses in the dat file. The index, depending on the versification, determines the order. And the format is not guaranteed, and may change at any time (and is with the 1.5.12 release supporting alternate versification.) I hope this helps and answers your question. In Him, DM Smith |

How does one get the C++ engine? What is called? Is there any documentation available of using the Sword API? |
