Thanks so much Dan, I got your off-list note, and will get these
replacements very soon.

You folks have done a very helpful thing by making this
Windows version functional. I have my special characters
now.
(I should say that I am presently testing this in Windows
7 and using a keyboard which Wes made which uses the
language bar and has installed my keyboard to the "Yoruba"
language. So I have not actually tested this with Keyman
yet. But my previous version of Bibledit for
Windows--which I got from a different site--didn't give me
my special characters under this configuration either. So
I am hopeful that this version will also work in XP with
Keyman 6.2.)
Now I should find out whether I installed it right. I just
unzipped it (using 7zip) and navigated through the
resulting folders until I found the Bibledit executable
file, and double clicked on it.
Let me know if there is something else I should do to be
using this more long-term.

You need the ZIP to get

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,
Paul Schaefer
