I agree, I have just finished compiling a source text file I have created from 
scratch of the Arabic Deuterocanonical/Apocrypha with Gobible Creator 2.2 and 
Gobible creator 2.6
and it works perfectly, but I liked the one generated from the Gobible Creator 
2.2 
more because its search way "From Book: - To Book:"
Can you make it as option in the next version to use this way in search.

The "radio button" selection of Go Bible search scopes only works to the full 
when
the number of books in a collection is exactly 66. Moreover, it only works 
correctly
when the book order is that of the Western Canon.

The Java ME applications hosted by Octavian Lupu at http://www.biblephone.net/ 
are
based on a fork of Go Bible source code (probably from version 2.2). AFIK, these
still use the From Book: / To Book: method for the user to narrow the search 
scope.

More recently, Octavian has done away completely with Go Bible Creator. He has
replaced its function by providing a server side PHP script that enables 
web-site
visitors to make their own choices as to which books are included in the 
downloaded
JAR file for the selected International Bible version.

Is there something we can learn by studying Octavian's code? i.e. Both his
GoBibleCore code and his PHP script.

This feature is the only one that makes Go Bible less than neutral as regards
different canonical traditions.

The original method of adjusting "From" and "To" books was indeed canon-neutral.

Is the source code for this still available, and merely commented out, or 
unused?

There is code commented out in SearchForm.java that will present two 
ChoiceGroup 
objects: UI-From-Book and UI-To_Book. It then puts all the book names into each 
object and has a default setting to start at bookName zero and go to book name 
length - 1.

So, yes the code is still present and commented out.
