My bad; I wasn't paying close enough attention to notice the subtle change in the discussion (from chmsee to dbus).  Sorry for confusing matters. :-)

Hi Doug,

I probably was not complete in my description of this matter. The dbus
would be used on all three platforms, on Linux for communicating with
Xiphos and BibleTime, and on Windows for communications with BibleTime,
and with Xiphos if that is available for Windows, and on the Mac for
both Xiphos and BibleTime, although I am not sure if these run with
Macports - probably they do.

I think that the background to this is that there may be a difficulty
compiling the dbus sofware on Windows - am I correct, Dan? On the other
hand I seem to recall that dbus on Window now works, but this may not be
correct.

Teus.
