Well, I did a search for the "1973 NIV pdf" and came up zip, nuder, zilch. So it looks like there isn't anything like an 1973 ed of the NIV running in some electronic format .

In my opinion, the most important thing that T4 can do is to create either .RTF or .HTML SQLite database modules from various forms of text, while conforming to the SQLite database structure required by e-Sword.

In my opinion, the second most important thing that T4 can do is read in an existing e-Sword SQLite database module in .RTF format (or .HTML format) and convert the information so it can be edited if desired and eventually output to a SQLite database e-Sword module in .HTML format (or .RTF format).

Its not so much that T4 can "convert" an rtf to html, but rather it exports it. And that is where there is an actual massive difference between converting and exporting from one format to another lies.

For example, Rick Meyers' e-Sword  PC Module Converter tool actually converts an rtf file to html. With that said, there is a massive downside to this tool, which is that it strips font types, size, and styles. As where by exporting, T4 maintains (or keeps) font types, size, and styles.

Moreover, when creating, e.g., an refi file from scratch in T4, the type of font, e.g., Times Roman, size, e.g, 14pts, and styles, e.g., Headers, Subscripts, Superscripts, Foot or End Notes and etc, are all kept when exporting the project to an SQLite Database file for e-Sword.

Trust that you find this information helpful.

You can access the Tooltip Users Guide after you download and install the program, once you have done this run the program and click Help on the menu across the top of Tooltip. This will open the Tooltip Help Menu the last item on the menu is labeled Tooltip NT 2.10 pdf click this and the manual will open in Adobe Acrobat reader. 

You only need to install one version of Tooltip, the developer of the Tooltip program always had the most recent version and two prior versions available for download

Just to add to what Higgsy shared. ToolTip Tool NT (affectionately known as T4) is no longer being being updated due to the death of the Author a few years ago. So, the "latest" version is both the current and last version you will see.

The author of T4 used a relatively unknown programming language, which no one else knows how to use it, hence it is no longer being maintained.

No one has taken over the project to further develop and/or update

You don't need the Perl scripts there is a conversion tool available called Simple Bible Reader, which can do the conversions. The program can convert between many different bible programs with ease. 

You can download the program here:

Hi Higgsy,

May I suggest that you do a screen recording (video) or a series of screenshots of doing a conversion using Simple Bible Reader, and post it (the screen recording) or them (the screenshots) up on here.

Blessings.

All the information you see in Example #1 gives the historicity of the project/program. The information you see in Example #2 is auto-generated by (in this case) Visual Studio Programming IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and edited by the Programmer).

e-Sword version 6.5 (Android Edition) is the updated version, which was (as mentioned a moment ago) released (or published) on 03/08/23, and was not released, as you put it, on the 13/01/2022. That, Olaf, is both misleading and incorrect information. Sorry to have to tell you that. When it comes to information on software (apps), you need to show what the actual date is of the updated version is, and not as the original date and version of the first release of the program.

For authoritative answers to your question about HARMONY FEATURE on Android, please go to the source to discover for which versions of e-Sword the developer, Rick Meyers, supplied the harmony features.

Here is how to find out. Go to the website of Rick Meyers, who developed e-Sword for the PC. https://www.e-sword.net/ Browse down the page, and you can also see this Features section by selecting the tab FEATURES which will take you to https://www.e-sword....x.html#features

For more details on e-Sword – Bible Study for the PC, the ABOUT tab supplies the history of the development of features for e-Sword. Here you will read that in December 2006, when e-Sword 7.8 was released, a Gospel Harmony tool was provided. https://www.e-sword.net/history.html

From April 2009, with the release of e-Sword version 9.0, a completely new database architecture was implemented to supply access to the bible, commentary, dictionary, and Study Notes modules.

For e-Sword X for the Mac, select the LINKS tab, and select the required choice to e-Sword X – Bible Study for the Mac. Then page down, or select the FEATURES tab, to see that the GOSPEL HARMONY feature is provided. https://www.e-sword....ex.htm#features

For e-Sword HD for the iPad, select the LINKS tab, and select the required choice to e-Sword HD – Bible Study for the iPad. Then page down, or select the FEATURES tab, and GOSPEL HARMONY is shown as one of the features available. https://www.e-sword....ex.htm#features

For e-Sword LT for the iPhone, select the LINKS tab, and select the required choice to e-Sword LT – Bible Study for the iPhone, Then page down. Or select the FEATURES tab, and the GOSPEL HARMONY option has not been shown. https://www.e-sword....ex.htm#features

For more details about the existing conversion facilities in the e-Sword PC Module Converter Utility, please read the FAQ entries, and if the answer to your query is not there, then contact Rick Meyers directly, on the relevant CONTACT option.

Your font is so small, I doubt that anyone can actually read it. I know that I have real difficult in reading it, mainly my Glaucoma really prevents me from reading it.

From what I can gather by what you are saying is that when it comes to what can be or can't be used on e-Sword for Droid, basically anyone with any common sense can tell you what is or what is not, or what works or what doesn't work. It seriously doesn't take much to figure it out.

For Droid phones it appears Harmonies are not available. For Droid Tablets it appears that it is available. So one has be to careful as to distinguish between phone and Tablet.

Hi, I've converted and transferred whatever I want from PC to Android.  The only ones I'm unable to do my own Harmony files (HARX).  The conversion utility doesn't work on them.  Am I missing something?

 

Thanks

Going by what I can see the Droid edition of e-Sword doesn't handle Harmony files (and neither does e-Sword HT or LT). Looks like that is being left for e-Sword PC edition and e-Sword X (which would be an hari file).

Blessings,

If you use Microsoft Edge browser, then your device ought to provide you with the option to zoom the window to be able to see the text in larger fonts. Microsoft is now collaborating with Adobe, to provide Read Aloud for more operating systems when the reader is viewing a PDF file.

Olaf,

I don't use Edge because it's a hacker's dream Web Browser.

For about 20 years my pet Browser has been and is Firefox, and according to Mozilla, its way more secure than Edge. As to how true that is, well that's anyone's guess. I just like it way better than Edge or Chrome. Totally one eyed and biased.

Blessings,

I have a iPad and wanted to install multiple modules at one time. How can I do that. I have over a 1000 modules. Having to install them one at a time is taking a very long time. Dr. Wade Bridges. 

This one is relatively easy. If these resources are made for e-Sword HT, LT and X, and they're not in some form of an installer Application, but are the raw data files, e.g., bbli, cmti etc., then all you need to do is put them on a pen drive and copy them over onto your device, or send the resource files via WiFi from one device to the other.

What if one does not have access to a windows computer. How can we convert the .exe file modules to run on iPhone, iPad, and MacBook?  

You can't. With that said, however regarding your MacBook, you are able to run an exe natively on that device using Crossover.

Now regarding your iOS devices, there's no application available to make an exe file on them. However there are an abundant of third party, and official (both premium and free) resources available for these devices, which in reality you don't need it to run on these devices.

Trust you find this information helpful.

Ok now I am confused, I thought there was something on this site that had a download for the JW's "bible".  I am sorry I was so mistaken.  It's kind of a relief because I'm not the type to study another religion, not at all in depth anyway.

There is a section in the study of theology called "Apologetics,"  which means, "to give an account, a defense." Those who are students who study Apologetics, and who are Apologists have and use resources of all types so that they are able to counter false claims and etc. And this includes Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, and etc.

Therefore, those wishing to have resources such as the NWT (New World Translation) Bible basically have a resource which they use, and as such can be used against them to the extent that it can be used to refute their (JWs) claims, etc.

With that said, there are copies of the NWT Bible for e-Sword floating around, but none on this site because of the policies of the owner of this site. I'm one of those who does have a copy of this "translation" (if one can call it that with a straight face) of the Bible both on my PC and phone.

Trust you find this helpful.

Blessings,

I would love to have a copy of the Jehovah witness bible to compare in esword. Been looking for one for a while and cannot find one. I have an aunt and some cousins that are caught up in it.

I can tell you this much that you won't find a NWT Bible for e-Sword on this site at all! And neither will you find one at eStudySource, or in e-Swords download manager. About the possible way you may get one, if one happens to fall off the back of the metaphorical truck, kind of thingy. Sort of like acquiring one through the black market kind of thing.

That said, if you go to the J.W. website you can download an electronic version in several formats, including an rtf format, which really comes in handy for importing into T4, and thus creating your own NWT Bible.

Trust you find this helpful.

Blessings,

The only way you can know if it will work, is to try it for yourself. If it works, great! If it doesn't, O well, at least you gave it ago, and found out that it doesn't. And also you will have your answer either way.
 
Blessings,

I am creating a module that uses God's name in Paleo Hebrew like this: [/size]
 
Is there anyway to put the Paleo Hebrew in the module itself?
 
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there is.  Jeff Benner did something similar in his Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible module.  Jeff Benner also included the fonts to install along with his lexicon module.  More information regarding what Jeff Benner did is available at:   http://www.biblesupp...n-of-the-bible/
 
ElderB

 Just a matter of interest; Jeff Benner specializes in Mosaic Hebrew, and His Lexicon is focused on that time period, and not so much of the Paleo period. Below is a chart showing the historicity of the Hebrew text which will give you a timeline of the development of the Hebrew language.
 

 
So, as to how helpful Jeff Benner's work will be, that I'll leave to "JahsScriptures" (whoever he or she is) to decide.

To make life a tad simpler wthout having to resort to Jeff Benner, click here to download the paleo Hebrew font.

As noted before, Jeff Benner's work deals with Mosaic ancient Hebrew, which is of a totally diffrent and earlier period from the Paleo era.

Blessings
