Sorry, I should have clarified that I was using Bibledit for Windows on XP (not Vista or 7). So Keyman should work.

Does msklc handle the type of keyboards we need in Ghana? (special characters plus diacritics)

Paul,
I believe Keyman version 6.2 doesn't reliably work with Windows versions newer than XP.
I'd recommend either upgrading to 7.1 or using msklc.

You need the ZIP to get started, as Windows machines generally lack the wide array of DLLs needed to make Gtk+ ports work.

There's a possibility that the exeonly download may work if you already have an older version of Bibledit for Windows, but you may still have issues.

The UPX download is bibledit.exe only, and its usually ~800k or so. Again, this one requires a previous installation to be useful.

Dan,

My internet connection is good, but limited. I tried to download the zip file link, but at 70+ MB it took a long time and in the end something didn't work right because it won't open.

I don't know too much about software development--looking at the general page that you also gave a link to, I see a variety of download options. Are any of these downloads smaller in size and would they work for me just to use the program? Or maybe they're for development or modification, so do I need to re-try the zip file?

Thanks,

Hi all (but particularly the Bibledit for Windows people),

I downloaded BE for windows some months ago, version 3.7.48.

I have not been able to get it to work with Keyman (v. 6.2.176.0), which is kind of an obstacle to me using it at all.

I would assume that at least some of the people who put Bibledit into a Windows version, or those who are using it, have used some sort of keyboard manager in order to type scripture, so maybe some of you have some suggestions.

It is not a critical problem, but since I am using Bibledit in Linux (BALSA), it would be nice to have it functional in Windows as well.

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions,
