Hello there,

A while back there was a program to convert e-Sword files to Palm Bible format. Does anyone have a copy of it, or know where I can find it. Thanks ahead.

My search came up empty - sorry. There was one reference to one in google that pointed to AsaiSoft's Bible Reader, and I recall that back before Christmas they had a converter, but it is nowhere to be found on their website now. You might email them about it!

Click on the Palm Bible Reader link on the CrossWire page! ;) It says all the files are there...and, they are!

I've been searching, but I still haven't found the right link. :confused: If you've found it, could you post the link? Thanks. ;)

I've downloaded those already, but some of the files won't unzip. I keep getting zip error. Also, you have to download some jave application to get it to work. I've actually downloaded this program a while back but haven't figured out how to use it. The only launch icon I have is Java Web Start. Don't know what I'm supposed to do in there. :confused: Could anyone please help? Thanks. ;)

I only downloaded the most recent converter file...it unzipped without a problem, but I haven't done anything with it. I believe one of the above links tries to explain how to use the program...http://members.aon.at/neuhold/palm/palmbible_en.html
