[sword-devel] MacSword abandoned

[Will Thimbleby]

Manfred,

Thanks for persisting. I'm still here, occasionally. Let's see if we  
can get MacSword updated. You should have access to svn but if not I  
can give you access to the sourceforge account. It would be good  
simply to get a 1.5.9 universal release out with your updates. I am  
still really busy but I want to keep improving MacSword, and I think  
it is important to get it updated.
