To install the 'sword reader' application onto your pocket PC do the following:

- Unzip the contents of the zip file into a tempororary location on your pc, then use ActiveSync to copy the sword directory with all its contents onto your Pocket PC under \Program Files (this should put the files into '\Program files\sword' on your system memory).
- OR Unzip the contents of the zip file directly onto your Storage Card using a card reader - again, this should create a sword directory for you.

The directory into which the files are are placed is your Sword Home directory.  It should either be Program Files\Sword, or Storage Card\Sword.  The starter pack will install the kjv bible as your first bible.  You should try the application out before installing additional modules.

You may at any time unzip any additional SWORD bibles or commentaries to  your Sword home directory.  This will use the two sub-directories : mods.d and modules which will contain all the books you have unzipped.  If you are installing to system memory rather than to a Storage Card, you will first need to place all the files and modules in a directory (called 'sword' for convenience) transport this entire directory via Active-Sync explore.  You can simple copy the directory to 'Program Files' on your device and then use the device's own file manager to create the link. 

NOTE that the application will fail with an error message if you do not have the correct configuration of files in the Sword home directory; that is to say you need a valid module with a valid .conf file in mods.d and a module in the path pointed to by the module's .conf file.

If you'd like to change this configuration information, write a text file called 'sword.conf' and place it in your Sword home directory.

- After installation as above, make a link to start the program using the Windows Mobile file manager (Start/Programs/File Explorer).  To do this, first browse to your Sword home directory.  Use the cursor keys to highlight simplegui.exe (don't tap on it).  Then do menu/edit/copy. Next, browse to My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and do Menu/Edit/Paste Shortcut (NOT Paste!).  This will produce a link that you can use to fire up the application.

Known problems: We need a means of installation that will run on a PC and do all of the above automatically using Sword Install Manager to get the modules.  This is work in progress.  Also, GUI.exe is intended to have two text window so that two different versions or a version and a commentary can be looked at.  Currently, simplegui.exe is the same as GUI.exe but without the extra button which currently does nothing useful!
Also, currently the footnotes do not display correctly nor do the Strongs numbers in versions that use them.

Any offers of help appreciated.

	May God bless you as you seek to serve Him!
