I have just added the following to the Catholic esword Bible and Catechetical study software program.
This has been added for those who have trouble running esword

esnips.com/web/CatholicApolegetics/

1909CatholicDictionary&Catechism.zip
**1909 new Catholic Dictionary and Roman Catholic Catechism as a CHM file, compiled HTM linked file **for those who have trouble navagating e-Sword. One of the Most thorough and concise Catholic Dictionaries ever produced…1910 version of the New Catholic Dictionary online. The Dictionary has thousands of short articles that clearly, simply explain aspects of Catholic life and influence. Many of the topics concern day to day things, practices and terms that are passing into obscurity, but deserve

On the above site is a portion that has been translated of “The Great Cornelius Lapide Commentar” from Latin to English the gospels, Corinthians 1 and 2, Galatians.

What is available is the best Catholic Commentary I have ever come accross, far surpases the Navarre commentary. The Lapide was originally written in Latin in the 1600’s. It would be great to find someone fluent in Latin who might consider translating the rest of the Lapide NT or the whole works into English so as to make the NT or whole commentary available for e-Sword program.
 
looking for some help. Does anyboby know if the Ronald Knox Bible is copyrighted, or if it is free public domain. If it is copyrighted where do we go to get permission to use. I am looking to possibly put the Ronald Knox NT for e-Sword program. It is available in html on line.

I run Linux, so I use GnomeSword, which is similar to e-sword. But there are very few modules for Catholics. I looked at the esnips site above and was very impressed, however, after installing e-sword on Wine, I can open it, but there is no text. 😦
So I guess I’m stuck with what I’ve got.
They are supposedly making more Catholic modules for gnomesword, but it doesn’t look like it will be anytime soon
 
Click here to go to the library section of the website for the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, Scott Hahn’s site which has just been redone and is better than ever. There are a lot of great resources there.

A couple of things, I am aware that there are esword users using Linux as their operatng system, and use Wine. You need to find where the esword program is located on your hardrive. you need to unzip the files on the esnips web site, and load them into the esword folder. Unless they are loaded into the esword folder esword will not pick them up, unless they are unzipped esword cannot read the files. When the files are unzipped bible files have their ending extentions as *,bbl, commentarys = *.cmt dictionaries = *.dct, and topic files will be *.top. all files then must be in the esword file.

If you follow the above directions than I suggest you join the esword yahoo group, and see if they cannot help with your difficulties. Again I know that esword users are using esword with linux and wine…

just to make sure we are on the same page, CHM files are compiled files and do not operate in esword. All CHM files on the ensips site are zipped and must be unzipped to operate. CHM files are compiled htm files, usually a number of files all internally linked inside a single compiled file operating in mcrosoft. I know that there is a conversion for microsoft chm files so they can operate on Mac’s. I don’t know if their is a conversion to allow chm files operate in linux operating sytstme, need to google to find out.

I understand that. I unzipped the files I wanted (.bbl and .top) to the proper folder in ~/.wine/E-sword. The problem is that no text displays, not even the default E-sword Bible text. I am thinking I may just need some extra .dll’s for the fonts. I never configured Wine- just dl’d and installed it. So maybe I do not have the necessary libraries.

ok, it is obvious something is missing, maybe you might want to contact, the esword yahoo group, and see if someone knows something in realtion to the wine overlay for linux users. I think you may be right about some dll files. Let me know if you can get it to work, and what you had to do for it to run.

Well, since
a) I’m kinda lazy, and
b) I needed to have Word 2007 Enterprise for a class

I went ahead and set up a dual-boot system with WinXP and Linux. So I just installed E-sword on Windows. GnomeSword will suffice while I’m on Linux. I dl’d most of the modules- it’s great to have a Baltimore Catechism module! I first learned about the faith from one of my Grandpaw’s Baltimore Catechisms, and love it’s direct, simple, question-and-answer approach. I’ll still see about getting it to work on Wine someday, but in my experience with Wine, I’ve found it is probably better just to install VMware or have a dual-boot system.

OK, turns out I did need to configure wine by running wincfg, then adding riched20.dll to the library.

There is an extension that enables Firefox to read CHM files on Linux.
