[sword-devel] Sword for VB

[Chris Little]

There's an ActiveX control for Sword, but it is extremely old and is now 
unsupported. Still, if you think you really want to use this approach, 
it would not be very hard to update the control to handle all of Sword's 
recent feature additions.

The control is available at 
ftp://ftp.crosswire.org/pub/sword/frontend/diatheke/. It is called 
ActiveDiatheke. The newer of those two files is buggy, I am told, but it 
has more features than the older, stable one.  The source code in SVN is 
probably even more complete.
