Yes, I sometimes checks this newsgroup for SWORD related questions,
but I'm busy with diploma now, so I'm sorry if answers will be
delayed. :-) In serious, too much work must be done before good
documentation will be created. If you have more specific questions
feel free to ask.

I compiled February's edition of SWORD 3.0 under DJGPP with some
hacks. Main problem is broken exceptions support in GCC 2.8.0 port so
most of SWORD 3.0 tests doesn't work under DJGPP because of
intensive usage of exceptions. We looking for corrections to GCC's
port (Robert Hoehne is working under it but ... :-( )
If you want to help us to create DJGPP's version of SWORD join to
SWORD mailing list and ask questions in it. According latest mail
exchanges, Eric now develop new object model for SWORD 3.0 so it may
take some time.
