[bd-users] No bibles?

[Frank]

I need to give a little background.

I use Bible Time, part of the KDE Desktop on Debian.  A friend of mine 
saw it and said his wife would love to have something like that.  She's 
a teacher and is the Religious Education Coordinator at her school here 
in the UK.  I told him I'd look around and see if there was a Windows 
version.  There isn't or at least I couldn't find one. I did, however, 
find Bible Desktop!

They have only a dial-up modem connection which they have to pay for by 
the minute on-line, so I offered to download what they needed and burn 
it to CDROM.  Once I had the CDROM, I installed the programs (they 
needed the Java runtime and Acrobat Reader as well as Bible Desktop) and 
unpacked and installed the modules I'd downloaded as well.  When I ran 
the program, it said I had no Bibles and would I like to download one?  
After a lengthy search, (I really must learn to read the manual *first*! 
:) ), I added the link to where the Bibles were stored.  Still no joy.

As we live some distance apart, I had to come home at that point but I 
told them I'd try to find out how to get the Bibles and other modules 
working.  I downloaded the Bible Desktop installer to my hard drive, and 
installed it on my machine so I could become more familiar with it.  It 
found the modules I had for Bible Time without me telling it where they 
were.  But when I opened the Tools/Options menu, Bible Desktop crashes 
on my system.

I still don't know why it doesn't work on my friend's Win98 system.  Any 
ideas how to get it to see the Bibles and other modules?  It would 
really make a difference for her in her work if she had this tool available.
