According to their web site Bible Analyzer is a free, comprehensive Bible study and analysis software application developed to aid Believers in their study and defense of the Holy Scriptures. It has several features (such as text comparison, proximity searches, detailed statistics, etc.) usually not found in other free or commercial Bible software programs.Subito Piano wrote:There's a bit of to-do over BibleAnalyzer, i think in the Ubuntu forums. I was maybe the only one who couldn't install it under Wine -- ?!?! Might be worth a look, not to divert this thread -- but i can't comment on it except i know some others really liked it.

My observations:
Linux Version--I could not get it to work.
The linux version is a deb file and can be installed using Lucid 5.2 just by clicking on the deb file. It installed, however, would not work since it also requires Python. I installed Python using the PPM and it still did not work.
Windows Version
With Wine already installed, just double click on the downloaded exe and it installs perfectly.
The only problem is in getting it to run using the menu which is accomplished easily by creating two files:
(1) Create an executable bibleanalyzer.sh with an editor with the following code:
Code: Select all
env WINEPREFIX=/root/.wine wine "C:\Program Files\Bible Analyzer 4\BibleAnalyzer4.exe"
Create a Bible Analyzer 4.desktop with an editor using the following code:
Code: Select all
Name=Bible Analyzer 4
Exec=bibleanalyzer4.sh
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Bible Analyzer 4
Icon=/root/.local/share/icons/75DE_BibleAnalyzer4.0.png
Note: You may need to do a search and make certain that the paths are correct on the items above i.e. on one pup the desired icon was at /root/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/75DE_BibleAnalyzer4.0.png
There are numerous additional modules that can be downloaded
for a fee and also public domain in bundles for a nominal price. In addition, there are a great many public domain modules that are available free.
In my opinion, it is a worthwhile addition for Bible study.
