These are various resources that can be used in conjunction with, or inside of, Bibledit-Desktop. Most of this information is old and needs to be revamped.

Internal Resources

This seems to have been moved or removed.

Introduction

Bibledit allows you to view Resources that scroll in sync with Bibledit.

If Bibledit shows a certain verse, the Resource will show the same verse.

Operation

A Resource can be opened through File | Resource | Open.

A Resource that has the focus can be closed through File | Resource | Close.

A new Resource can be created through File | Resource | New.

A Resource that has the focus can be edited through File / Resource / Edit.

A Resource can be deleted through File / Resource / Delete.

To let the Resource scroll together with Bibledit, tick the appropriate box in menu Preferences / Reference exchange.

Translator's Workplace

Translators's Workplace provides Dictionaries, Commentaries and other useful reference works.

Bibledit used to send references to it through the Bibledit Windows Outpost. Bibledit-Gtk no longer uses Bibledit Windows Outpost for reference exchange. It does it through Bibledit-Web. If somebody were to write a Windows program that would fetch the references from Bibledit-Web, then this program could send these on to Translator's Workplace.

BART

Introduction

BART provides Biblical resources.

Bibledit can send references to BART. There is an option for this in Bibledit, menu Preferences - Reference exchange. It sends these references through Bibledit Windows Outpost. This implies that the Outpost should be set up too. BART needs to be set to receive references.

Installation

Ensure you've got Wine installed.

Insert the CD of Translator's Workplace.

Ensure the CD-ROM gets mounted, that is, you have access to its contents.

In a terminal, type

wine /media/cdrom/BART2_6/Bart26Install.EXE

The version numbers 2 and 6 depend on the version you have and may have to be adjusted. Your cdrom location may be different too.

Follow the instructions on the screen and finish the installation.

Use

To start BART, type

wine "c:\Program Files\SIL\BART\Bart26.exe"

Notes

This information about BART is old. Anybody with access to newer versions of BART, and willing to update the page above?
