Greetings,

Silas version 2.05-1.032, which we announced recently, has a bug in
the dialog, Add New Language Project--you can't add a language! Sorry
about that...

You may obtain version 2.05-1.032, which fixes this problem, at the
web site: http://code.google.com/p/silas/

You will find the following improvements useful (from builds 1.032):

1. Installing the macros to Print Booklets works better, from a button
in the Booklet Style dialog, when people are formatting booklets and
thinking about how to print them, instead of the confusing step during
installation, when the booklet macro file tended to be hidden behind
the template file.

2. You can now edit the checking table that appears in the ID footers
in proof printouts, and you get a unique table for each language/
project, so these can be in vernacular instead of English.

3. Widened all text boxes & labels in dialogs (forms) so hi-res
monitors don't choke on them.

4. Custom stylesheet supported through "Custom_styles.txt" in the Pt
settings folder instead of the program's installation folder, so your
custom stylename correspondences won't be overwritten by a new version
of Silas.

5. Macros to change line spacing now easier to drive -- called from
sub-menu of Scripture menu.

6. FAQ file now gives info on how to print the same RTF file in
different scripts, such as Latin for one audience, Cyrillic for
another, with link to EncConverters.

Kim and I think this version is reliable, and worth the download. If
anything breaks, please let us know, either by direct email, by a
posting to the silas-talk group, or by making a new Issue athttp://
code.google.com/p/silas/issues/list

You can also put questions and wish-list items in the Issues page, or
post them to silas-talk (you need to "join" the discussion group to
post items).

Jim and Kim

Oops again! I meant to say below,

You may obtain version 2.05-0133, which fixes this problem,...

Sorry about the multiple messages; I'm learning about the posting
system.
