@ Searcher,

11 years ago was when the last comment was made. That's a long haul.

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.

Hi Dave,

I've used BeST back in the day, and although it worked fine for me, I did find it somewhat complex to use.

 

If memory serves me correctly, I think initially BeST was developed to convert earlier versions of e-Sword files to be compatible with e-Sword version 8x. And then when version 9x came along BeST was updated to convert 8x to 9x specification.

 

With that said, when it came to converting e-Sword 8x resources to 9x specifications, the tool I used was "eSword9Converter" (created by Clint Branham) which is available on here and can be downloaded from here.

 

Blessings,

 

. And although that tool is able to convert top to topx and not to notx files, I just do that in e-Sword (which "converts automatically).
