Hi Lynn,

Thanks for the welcome.

I would appreciate your assistance with the links and TWiki 
hints/shortcuts. I am interested in learning, using, and enhancing (when 
experience allows) the SWORD API.  I've been evaluating different bible 
projects and was led to participate in Crosswire's work.  I want to see 
the SWORD API continue to mature and be refined so that it can be easily 
used for many Christian works.  Perhaps to even address the complexity 
you encountered without reducing its power.

I am a 20 veteran of the IT industry with extensive experience in 
software design, development, and implementation as an international 
cross-platform developer/consultant/business owner.  Based on the 
comments made in the archives, I don't stand alone in type of 
experience.  It nice to work among peers.

I've retired from IT and have moved into Christ's service full-time. I 
do the work of a missionary/pastor in the suburbs of Atlanta. My wife 
speaks Greek fluently. I lived in Israel for a year and learned to speak 
modern Hebrew. My conversational skills are rusty, but my reading skills 
are sharp enough for bible study.   It is important to me to have a 
bible software program that I can recommend and "give" freely to those 
who would not spend money on such a program.  I believe it will allow me 
to assign in-depth "homework" for discipleship.

Evangelism, discipleship, and worship are my primary labors.  I work 
beyond the walls because that is where the lost souls and, in increasing 
number, the hurting sheep reside (and it's where I'm called).  My wife 
excels in practical compassion and I in intangible compasion (inner 
healing, questions of faith and heart).  We make a great team, nicely 
balanced.

Something you might consider getting involved in ... the LcdBible
"frontend". One of its objectives is to provide a "newbie friendly"
situation which might simplify the "learning curve" for eventually
participating The SWORD Project development. It uses an "experimental
plug-in subset" of the vastly comprehensive sword-api.

Here is a link to an earlier post, "Recruiting volunteers to help with

    <pre wrap="">Joachim - Thanks for your answers!

Remaining questions for anyone with answers:

I'm running into to numerous snags with building sword and the other
modules using C++ Builder 6.  Is this common?  Also, are there any
components that need to be installed?  Are there any extra steps needed
to establish a golden development environment?

And finally, what and where is the source for the last stable build
(1.5.6)?  I'd like to start with that unless that is going too far
backwards.  I'm trying to shorten the learning curve by playing with a
working model.

Thank you,
Jonathan
