Re: Fwd: Resend: David Haslam's inquiry about Crosswire

I've added STEP Bible to our registry of known remote SWORD publishers, 
but I've tested a refresh in Bishop and it hangs on STEP Bible.  I've 
tested using the latest sword/utilities/installmgr CLI tool and it works 
OK.  I'll leave it in for a 24 hours.  Please report your findings.
