[sword-devel] bug in SWORD's bible structure representation

2000 20:17:00 -0700 (MST)  Phm works also to call up Philemon.
The reason for which Phil calls up Philemon rather than
Philippians is that Philemon simply comes first  Phm may be the
abbreviation you're accustomed to, but there are no standard
accepted abbreviations that the whole of Christendom recogonize,
so we have to try to accomodate as many of the many standards
(every Bible and every Church seems to have its own unique set)
as we can.  SWORD (and I assume BibleTime) should accept "Phm
1:1" just fine and retrieve Philemon 1:1.  If you don't give a
chapter number, and just query "Phm 12" expecting verse 12,
you'll actually get Hebrews 11:1 because the library just counts
to the 12th chapter past Philemon's start.  --Chris Little  On
