[sword-devel] diatheke plain output - line breaks missing?

[Greg Hellings]

Sorry, disregard the previous patch.  It would also change the
config.h file and other things like that (which are regenerated in the
autogen.sh script).  I have attached a patch ONLY for the
osisplain.cpp file, still from the root of the sword directory.

Sorry,
Greg
