I am aware that there are many different cd Bibles out there. What might be a good one for us? I have a friend who is looking for either that, or she has heard that it is available in a stand alone thing, kind of like the franklin dictionary. Could someone make some suggestions? love, Diana ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

Which translation and what kind of features are you looking for? One King James translation which works well on LINUX (and other OS's) can be found at ftp site ftp.cdrom.com in /pub/simtelnet/msdos/bible. Get the files kbib-kj*.zip and unzip them into an empty directory (the resulting files will require over 4 MB of space). While this particular release was originally set up for DOS systems, the books are in ASCII text files with only enough non-printable characters to indicate beginnings of verses. The text is easily readable with Speakup on LINUX. This version can be downloaded and burned onto a CD if you have to have a CD copy, but it is pure text (no pictures, sounds, smells, or tastes:)), so it may not be quite what you are looking for. I hope this helps, and have a _great_ day! -- Ralph. N6BNO.

So, for example, you can do the following at a bash prompt: dict ephesus and get the Easton's entry, along with some other entries. As for having a Bible on your computer, if you're on Debian, try: apt-cache search bible I think you'll have fun with the results, many of which you can easily install and use. To install any one you would, of course, do: apt-get install [package name] Diana Dawne writes: > From: Diana Dawne <dianasaur@octothorp.org> > > I would find that of interest, but I think my friend is wanting other > things like a concordance and that kind of thing. > > love, > > Diana > > On Sun, 28 Sep 2003, > Ralph W.

* Re: CD Bible ` Chuck Hallenbeck @ ` Janina Sajka ` Chuck Hallenbeck 0 siblings, 1 reply; 17+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi, Chuck: Just to be clear, dict is also available as a network connected client service in a command you type at the shell prompt. It's extensible in terms of which dictionary resources are accessed. And, it's possible to run a dict server and create a new dictionary--something I've recommended in certain instances to certain folks.

* Re: CD Bible ` Janina Sajka @ ` Chuck Hallenbeck ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 17+ messages in thread From: Chuck Hallenbeck @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Janina, Thanks. The www.dict.org website has a lot of options too, including lookup with the soundex algorithm, in case you are unclear about spelling. Plus you can direct your lookup to Bible data bases too. I wonder if the dict client you are talking about is a front end for the services on this website? I have been relying on a wordnet installed on my system, which is better than nothing, but I see that wordnet is also available with the www.dict.org searches and is consulted by default, along with other databases. Excellent resources for students and writers, makes one want to study and write!

* Re: CD Bible ` Chuck Hallenbeck @ ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 0 replies; 17+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup According to the dict man page, querrying alt.dict.org is the default behavior. However, you can specify other hosts, and can even become a dict server if you want to, serving an entirely new dictionary.
