I'm replying from my F7 laptop, and it's not putting the original
message in the reply using claws-mail, hmmm (unless it appends it but I
can't see it?) So I'll cut & paste from the original message:

I have been able to get it to run on every linux distribution that I
have ever installed...As long as you can install wine, you can install
e-sword. There are 3 (possibly 4...it's been awhile since I've had to
install it) dll files that you have to download off the internet and
then tweak them with wine.<

I don't know why I couldn't get it to run, but it was the newest
version (which you mentioned you're using an earlier version...), 9 I
think? I did find a tutorial that mentioned dll's to download, which I
got and added to the win32 folder, still wouldn't run. But that
tutorial is where I found out about Theophilos bible software,
hadn't heard of it before. I believe I have at least 1 or maybe 2
earlier versions of eSword on backup CD's; I just haven't taken the
time to look yet. The tutorial was at least a couple years old, so it
was talking about an earlier version of eSword, also.

If or when I find one of those earlier versions I'll try installing
that and I should have the bible files to add, too. I mostly use it to
do keyword searches, since I'll usually remember a few words of a verse
but not the chapter & verse reference; or I want to get verses on a
particular topic and I'll search on that. Then I'll cut & paste if it's
something I'm writing or blogging and want to include, so for that
Theophilos should work fine. 

Thanks for the offer of assistance, I'll post again if or when I need
it!
