I've just downloaded and run the program.
Basically it seems to use a SQLLite database to store the song lyrics, 
which are plain text with page breaks to indicate different slides.
I couldn't work out how to get it all working though.
The program is written in Delphi currently ... I have attached a screenshot.
He says he has plans to "port this application to C#/C++ or something 
with a good, free, IDE"
It says it has the ability to interface with PowerPoint for 
Presentations ... but I don't have PowerPoint so I can't comment on that.
I wonder whether the route AsaphDB should go is to
1) allow OpenLP/Asaph to import/export songs from each other.
2) allow exporting Asaph songs to HTML or the OpenOffice Presentation 
format. (This shouldn't be too hard).
3) also investigate other options for a standalone presentation program 
(wxpython comes to mind)

I know Daniel is wanting to focus on the base application before paying 
attention to this ; is anyone else keen to be involved with any of the 
above?
