[sword-devel] Too many milestones can cook your buffer?

[David Haslam]

ztext

The module was built using the following cmd file stored in a directory called Make under my SWORD path.

> cd ..
> xiphos\imp2vs Import\IMP\KhmerNTw.raw.imp.txt -z -o .\modules\texts\ztext\khmerntw 1>log\imp2vs.log 2>log\error.log
> pause

Best regards,

David
