RAMPANCY  I can now report with delight that I can do searches for terms in texts without crashes. Additionally, MacSword no longer nags me to "upgrade" to 1.2.1b. Finally, I can switch from the aging BibleReader Free back to MacSword.  (Version 1.3.4)

LWIEDER  Just downloaded and installed 1.3.2 on my MacBook 2gRAM, 10.5.2

Program is very buggy:

Names of Bible books in pull-down menu appear only in Hebrew;

window resize is jerky, when it works at all;

screen redraw when font size or view options change is also erratic.

Reinstalled 1.3 beta 3, which has none of these quirks.  (Version 1.3.2)

RAMPANCY  I hope that with this version, MacSword will stop crashing when I try to do a search for terms in scripture...  (Version 1.3.2)
