Yes, Tony reported that these files putted as text. He said that he
will re-upload them but when it occurs? - I don't know.

Right  now  it is in the stage of final modifications of version 2.50.
We  fixed  all  bugs in edit lines and added ini-files support (so now
SWORD  configuration  files are usual text files such as windows.ini -
with sections and comments).

Last  modifications  which  I  want to made - review documentation and
examples,  so  after some weeks I'll upload SWORD to the simtel (if my
slow connection give me a chance ;). It will be at the end of March, I
think.

Also   I  think  about  publication  of  SWORD  2.50  because  now  we
concentrate   our  forces  on  the  new  SWORD  3.0  project  and  all
improvements  from  v.2.50  will be integrated in this new edition. So
publication  v.2.50  will  help  people  to move from 2.10 to 3.0 more
slightly.  But it requires too much work, especially because new event
and  errors  handling  via  exceptions and improved portability of the
library. Did you have looking at Eric's pages?
