I have posted on the topic before, and yet to have get responses, but
here is a new question:
I have my concordance system setup so that it has 4 different and
sortable levels at which verses can be stored (Topic, and 3 Sub Topic
levels). I would like to be able to interface the final level of display
so that it could print something such as:
Spiritual Gifts : Gifts
Knowledge
1 Corinthians 12:8 (displayed)
Mercy
Romans 12:8 (displayed)
etc
Hopefully this could provide a help to my dilemma, I have the (website)
pages that display this information written is Visual Basic ASP. Things
are controlled through a database from the ASP pages. I am trying to
figure out a way to interface (from within) to the diatheke engine, I
currently have it setup so that only 1 verse displays at a time from a
page showing the verses in a given sub-topic. I know that there is a
Visual Basic diatheke interface (I think in a dll file), I was wondering
where would documentation on this tool be found at? Also I was
wondering, of course if anyone has any specific suggestions of how to
try this? The reason I ask if, and where the documentation on the VB
diatheke thing is located at, is because I was thinking it might be
necessary to interface to this rather than using the "diatheke.pl" file
I am using now. One reason for desiring this is because I would like to
control which translation, and which options for display are used from
the ASP pages.
How would I display a single (or possibly a few) verses in Visual Basic?
I have all of my verse listings separated by Book name, Chapter and
Verse in separate variables so they can be manipulated.
I will appreciate any and all help or suggestions I can receive. I know
this is a huge project considering what my dreams for it are, but with
the help of God and those who might have knowledge, I have faith that in
time, this project can be accomplished.
As always the concordance project can be fount at:

=1 I have the link pointing through a server at NAU, my college, because
I currently do not have an IP # that remains the same, but this works
for now at least.
By the Grace of God,
