[bt-devel] Proposed change for BibleTime

[Gary Holmlund]

Daniel,

Thanks for the report. I also have seen a crash during install, but did 
not capture the details. I will try this again. You did not mention how 
you avoided the crash on startup you previously had. Also, did you try 
the auto scroll?

If you are able, could  you also test a MacOS version. It will be the 
first time I have build BibleTime on a Mac, but it seems correct to me. 
If you can test it download it from here:
