HolyBible

This screenshot shows a Bible Version window of HolyBible displaying the text of the New International Version. You can open several windows at the same time, on the same Bible version or on different versions. Windows can be linked so that they track the same verse in parallel.

Some points to note:

• The footnote bar at the bottom of the window is upated automatically as you move through the text. At any time, it shows the footnotes which apply to the currently active verse (the one which has a grey background).
• You can change the window width at any time and the text is reformatted automatically. You can also change the fonts used, the font size and aspect, the line spacing and the colours.
• The window contains the whole Bible, i.e. using the scroll bar you can scroll from Genesis to Revelation. Nevertheless, opening such a window takes only a few kilobytes of memory. Due to intelligent caching techniques, disc activity while browsing through the text is only minimal. So, you can use HolyBible conveniently over a network.
• Using the Info Bar you can jump to any verse quickly.
• The tools in the Toolbox, from top to bottom:
  • Book tool: Click on it to choose a book from the book menu.
  • Version tool: Click on it to choose a Bible version from the menu
  • Style tool: Change display style.
  • Search tool: Opens the Search window with sophisticated search options.
  • Notes tool: Edit/display notes for currently active verse
  • XREF tool: Drag a reference to the currently active verse to other places within HolyBible to insert/display/look up the reference there. Some external applications, e.g. the Resource Builder utility can accept XREFs, too.
  • Resources tool: Displays a menu of installed resources databases.
  • Resources search tool: Opens the Resources Search window.
