Bible search & spreadsheet?


Recommended Posts

I am slowly getting my ST up and running (in between many other things!)

 

Comparative theology is a bit of a hobby of mine. I could do with a 'Bible search program for the ST but not just for the Bible but ALL religious texts - though I guess the range might be limited.

 

Anyone know of any such S/W?

 

Also, where can I get a decent spreadsheet which has ANY kind of compatibility with any PC spreadsheet?

 

I like my old computer(s) to earn their keep!

 

Many thanks.

I have found in my bookmark this link to SpiritWare

http://freegroups.net/camsoc/spiritware/index.html

Maybe they have what you need.

 

Potentially looks good.

 

Thanks.

 

Any further advance? :-)

 

I'm not sure about Spiritware, but the Concordance program is available

for download on my BBS, in File Sig #14.

 

I believe you can find various versions of "books" for it to read. I've got

the King James version available for download as well in that same File

Sig.

 

HTHs.

I can't really help you on the comperative theology hobby, but for spreadsheets 3dcalc is freeware and a very good program that supports most of the functions I use. The data insertion part can be handled by almost every spreadsheet in the world but for expression or macros I haven't really checked. Texel from ASH (commercial) has Excel compatibility so it should be what you are looking for. And if you are not that interested in graphs, check out atari works, very good but also very limited.

Thanks. Er, any advance on that?

YES!

 

I asked a guy on Atari-Home whom I suspected to use this or at least know this, and he actually uses it.

My slightly modded ( :D ) translation follows:

Bible ST is not supported or sold anymore.

It used to run (and for some people still runs) under emulation, TOS, MagiC, on Milan 040/ 060, on the FAlcon with or without CT60 or graphics card - very cleanly programmed.

However the printing via Nvdi is a bit strange.

Export to Papyrus seems to be the right way here.

There were different bibles to use, which were all relatively expensive. A Luther version cost 180,- DM which are about 90,- Euros now.

The prog came without bible, so you had to buy one.

It is possible to make notes to anything, and there was a hypertext encyclopadia to get as add-on.

Searching functions are mighty, well done and extremely fast.

Four megs of ram should be there and a hard drive is a must!

Hope that helps. ;)

All very helpful input. Alas, I don't have Bible St, I don't have a bible disk and I only have an Atari ST(M) with 1MB and two floppies! :-)

Hmm, did you see my earlier post? The Concordance Bible program is

in the download section of my BBS...

 

If for some reason you don't want to logon, or can't, let me know and

I'll try to send it to you via e-mail.

 

HTHs.

Hi Darklord

I tried to download Concordance Bible from you BBS but not sure how or if it is possible with a newer Mac or PC. I would like to try out the Concordance.

Thanks
