Speaking as a computer programmer, that sounds like baloney.



I can't get it to install or to work.

???

I'm a bibleworks customer already, but now using a Mac, bibleworks is crippleware.

It shouldn't be using it for downloading updates.

Given that Bibleworks kinda sorta works with the Wine/Crossover library, when is Bibleworks going to support the Mac?

At the moment I've got bw6 working, but I can't get updates to work because of...

It seems to me that it is high time Bibleworks came out with a Mac SUPPORTED version. Yes, I know they don't want to re-write the app, but they could build WINE into the Mac version, and iron out the...

Scott, if 1 Ti 3:16 is your great proof that NA27 is inaccurate then I'm not impressed. One might grant you that there has been some scholarly debate about the original readings, but that is not...

This has nothing to do with 2 Pe 3:10, and even less to do with the Vulgate reading thereof.

The bibleworks Vulgate reads at 2Pe 3:10

adveniet autem dies Domini ut fur in qua caeli magno impetu transient elementa vero calore solventur

The neo-Vulgate reads:

Adveniet autem dies...

Yes you are supposed to type in a file name, any name will do. But as I think I now mention on the web site, many of these have stopped working because they have changed the web site layout and/or...

[QUOTE=jdarlack]I'm not a developer, but from what I understand, the publishers of the NLT did not want the old edition to remain in BW, and gave the new edition on the condition that the old would...

A question for the bibleworks developers:

Why don't you give us back the old NLT, perhaps named NLO or something? This sounds like a major major update that is in fact a different version. Nobody...

I take it you used the .ddf file from the web site?

I'm not sure what to say. I just compiled and installed Wycliffe from the exact same file with no problem. Try restarting bibleworks. Try...

I think the web sites have been changed again. Hey, this is wycliffe, out of copyright a long time ago. Message me privately and I'll get you the file.

Ideally the author would author this work in some kind of XML, and then convert it to various formats - HTML and bibleworks. I'd be willing to help out, time permitting, getting it set up.

Have you thought about formatting this commentary for Bibleworks?

Unfortunately this is more serious than a simple case of moved URL. They have had a major web site revamp, which quite likely means I would have to start again in implementing bible gateway versions....

Java can be obtained from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

If you have java installed correctly, you can double click the biblewdn.jar. If your java is set up correctly, a gui dialog...

>I have extracted the biblewdn.jar files because i didn't know

Don't do that!

You need to run biblewdn.jar as a program using Java. You need to follow the instructions on...

Well, you need to run biblewdn and look at what version it is in the dialogue box, because those prior to 1.4 don't work any more due to watchtower moving it.


When you say you don't know...

Which version of biblewdn.jar are you running?

Can you open the datafile in a text editor like wordpad, and does it have verses in there?

How long did the NWT take to download?

It doesn't matter where you save them.

As far as I can tell, you are missing these steps from the web site...

9. Start the Version Compiler from within Bibleworks
10. Click "Open" and...

I'm not sure what you think clicking on the files is supposed to achieve.

My first question is: Have you read and carefully followed the instructions on the web site?

How can you download a .jar file and get lots of files (.class)? My guess is you are unzipping the .jar file. (jar files are really .zip files, but you shouldn't unzip them!). Without more detail...

I think it's something to do with Bibleworks knowing when a version has changed, maybe so it can re-index or something. All you need to know is increment by one everytime the version changes.
