[sword-devel] Win32 DLL for use in VB.

[Adrian Korten]

Good day,

It has been a few years since I played with diatheke and activediatheke. 
They were probably at version 1.5.4 then and activediatheke had some 
problems. It would be nice to have an updated and improved version of 
both or something similar. At the moment, I don't have time but it 
sounds interesting because Visual Basic is where most of my experience 
has been in. And maybe in the future ...

At the moment, I'm just beginning to get to know python. This experience 
has been in text manipulation and a little user querying. The time 
restriction still applies but from an experimentation angle, I'd be more 
interested in learning about hooking python to the sword library.
