[bt-devel] setText or setContent in CModuleManager

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi!

I've changed two words: CModuleManager shuld be CModulePresenter.
But you answered my question ;-)

Next question:
I want to use CBackend in CBibleTimeView. Is that right?

Which class should I use CBackend, CBackendManager or CSWORDBackendManager ?

Thanks!

I'll never change your BackEnd since I'm not so experienced in using the
SWORD.API. One reason more why we need you ;-)
