Psword-0.7 gtkdialog bible reading software
0.5 is up. I've added a "view" button on the display screen that will send the output to geany. You will only see this button if geany is installed on your system. Geany will wrap the lines in its display. I can't figure out how to wrap lines in an "edit" window using an input file within gtkdialog. Maybe someone reading can figure it out. You'll find the code in version 0.5 at /usr/sbin/psword on lines 560 thru 565.

manual module install
I'm just wondering if you could help me.
Sometimes I don't have internet access and I want to include other modules, such as new bibles or dictionaries. Is it possible to download the module from crosswire from another computer, bring it to my computer using a USB stick, and then unzip it on my computer? Would psword still see the module? Or does psword absolutely have to get it direct from the internet?

yes it does, just download your bibles from
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ ... ype=Bibles
and extract them to root.
There are 3 formats, The 'Raw ZIP format' worked for me. I manually installed a bible.

brilliant, but one more thing
Thank you so much.
I just have one more question. Can psword handle dictionaries and lexicons and commentaries?

I haven't tried, but I don't think he has stated so, I'll try in a bitamenyahu wrote:Thank you so much.

If you want you can try an earlier testing model of livingwater based on puppy 4.0 it has Gnomesword built in and works for all that.

messed around and got something
Much appreciation, ttuuxxx.
I did a bit of messing around with ISBE and StrongsHebrew in psword. I think I've found out what to do.
What I do is:
1) when I click on psword and the first screen comes up, I choose the relevant dictionary from the "bible version" list;
2) then I type in the relevant term in the "select your book" box, which normally starts with "Acts". I delete that and put in what I want. For example, in StrongsHebrew, I'll put in "06678". Or for ISBE, I'll put in "Aaron". Then I click "OK".
3) then when the next screen comes up, I leave everything as it is, leaving the book name and the relevant version/dictionary, and the "all" bit where it should be, and click "OK".
4) then the relevant dictionary information will come up.
But it's a bit difficult for ISBE, where there is NO text wrap and there may be loads of information on the page. But then I use the "export" button. The only thing is that it takes a while for the information to be put forward into Abiword/Geany. You may even get the impression that it's crashed because AbiWord can freeze for a while. But eventually it gets in. There'll be no proper paragraphing, but it's still better than nothing.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks again ttuuxxx.
And also thanks to the GENIUS who made bible software for puppy. Thankfully crosswire has a few jewish sources/translations.

One minor bug
I notice that in /usr/share/books, Habakkuk is spelled Habakuk, which makes it so no reference in that book can be retrieved. When I changed it, it worked fine; this might be a good thing to fix in future releases.
I remember when I was fairly young, the preacher asked me during the service to read from the book of Hezekiah . . . and I fell for it. He loved to play jokes on people. For some reason, Habakkuk always reminds me of that.

You guys might be interested in xsword/cheatah, which is tiny, but quite basic http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 610#303610

How to delete a bible version?
Hi, I am new to linux and also with regard to Psword. Nice little program! I tried 3 or 4 bible translations - greek, which works perfectly, and also some german, with less success. GerHfa2002 just doen't display any text - is something missing? And how can I remove it from my system - I tried to delete the folder, using ROX, but for some reason the files where there again and again.
Perhaps somebody has an idea what else I should do.
Greetings, Corvan

You should be able to uninstall it via the puppy package manager.corvan wrote:Hi, I am new to linux and also with regard to Psword. Nice little program!

Did GerHfa2002 come as a Puppy package though, Ttuuxxx? I suspect not.
corvan - what path are you trying to delete it from? Maybe you have a frugal install and there are actually several paths to it, and the filesystem is getting confused. Otherwise I don't know what the problem could be... except a corrupt filesystem.

Thanks for your quick reply!
to ttuuxxx: perhaps I should have made it clearer that I don't want to uninstall the whole program, it is just the module which doesn't work that I would like to get rid of.
Or is there I way to use the package manager for removing just one module? If so, please let me know

When the first dialog box appeared, I used "Download a new sword bible module?" for downloading some modules.disciple wrote:Did GerHfa2002 come as a Puppy package though, Ttuuxxx? I suspect not.

When the GerHfa2002 version would not work, I couldn't find any uninstall
box, so I just followed the path shown under
"sword module directory", in my case /urs/share/sword.
I found a folder /usr/share/sword/modules/texts/ztext/gerhfa2002
and deletet it.
But when I now start the program, "select the bible module" still has the entry "Gerhfa2002" - so perhaps it is only the entry I still have to remove?
What is the "official" way to remove modules, if just deleting the folder
as mentioned above won't do it?
