SBR formatting is, well, less than desirable. There has got to be a way to access these old .top files, right?

Help!
I thought eSword would automatically convert an old .top to .topx file; however, my eSword (13.0) is not doing so automatically, nor do I see an option to tell it to do so. I thought Brent's T4 tool would read .top to convert to .topx, but I can't seem to make it do that, either.
I got old and forgot how to do all this stuff! Any help on how to make an archaic .top file work with modern iterations of eSword?

e-Sword Questions & Answers
AI? From the 90's?
While the digital versions are (relatively) recent, the hardback/paperback content goes back to the 1990's. An anonymous author simply means he/she didn't want to minimize his/her original possible customer base.

Just Saying Hi
If you've got it installed, check your dictionaries window. It is not the full Thompson Chain Reference Bible (that would be just a Bible, KJV, etc.), but the Thompson Chain Reference Notes only - and it is formatted as a dictionary. Click on a word, and see the TCR entry. Look for the dictionary tabbed "TCR."

Module Creation Tools

Thanks for the post. Many moons ago I tried to use Ben's eSword Tool; but was never able to get it to work for me. Ben was quite nice (I think he's still here, somewhere, by the way), but for the way I was building modules, it was simply easier to cut and paste right into eSword.
When T2 (eventually becoming T4 - the swiss army knife of eSword module building) was made available, I started using it, and helping Brent do some trouble shooting and Beta testing. It worked like I did; so it was easy for me to use.
My great thanks to Ben for his BeST tool, even though I was never able to utilize it. BeST was a forerunner of what made this site what it is today.

Another option - much easier, but a "longshot," so to speak:
eBay may sell old - very old - STEP reader CDs of The Expositor's Bible Commentary. If so - the Windows version of eSword can access those STEP volumes quite easily (using the eSword STEP reader, which, I think, is still available under the "Tools" menu). I know this because I did it, and used it profitably. Alas, I have resold those STEP CDs and no longer have any access to them.
EDIT: on a whim, I went to eBay to see what was there. I searched "Expositor's Bible Commentary STEP software" and found nothing. I removed the word "STEP" from the search, and immediately found 1 entry that was STEP software, for $200

You can tell it is STEP compatible by noticing the STEP logo in the top left corner of the cover. One copy currently available at eBay.

Hey, BC,
you can take those .epub and convert them for use with eSword - but it takes work; and to be quite frank, it takes more work than most users will want to do. In very broad brushstrokes, here are the steps
1. Download and familiarize yourself with Calibre - it is a free ereader system. (google "calibre ebook" and you'll find its home page quite easily)
2. Using Calibre, convert .epub to .rtf
3. Download the Tooltip tool available free on this website here - http://www.biblesupp...ws-environment/
4. Using the Tooltip tool, mark up and build the commentary.
TRUTH: This is much more involved than a simple 4 step process, I know. But building a commentary is a big job.

This one is probably the most comprehensive - http://www.biblesupp...ble-atlas-maps/
It is formatted for the Windows version of eSword. It has 100+ maps. I've almost always found what I've been looking for when using it.
Not sure about the "blurry" factor. I do know this: most of the graphics modules are relatively small when compared to what you can find on the internet. On average, the above module's maps are about 150k each (really round number there...). These maps are useful for personal study, but may not be helpful if you are attempting to copy/paste into a powerpoint for large scale viewing.
