File formats for Bible and font files.
The Bible files are given here unarchived. They are straight ASCII
files that can be loaded into a word processor. They will not be
meaningful unless viewed with the right-to-left Torah fonts, though. I
have found that ProWrite will support the font except for the English
left-to-right characters (see below).
The Bible files contain two line types: English and Hebrew. The English
lines use left-to-right characters, which in the Torah fonts are
characters 129 through 154, plus 176 through 185 (numerals). These
characters cannot be entered using the keyboard. The only English lines
in the Bible files give the name of the book, "CHAPTER", and chapter
number.
Each Hebrew line starts with either a tab (character 9) or a series of
large left-to-right spaces (character 226). The files on this disk set
use 2 super-spaces. The program Resize can be used to change which or the
number of characters that begin each Hebrew line. The Hebrew characters
will not word wrap in a word processor, so the program Resize can also be
used to change the number of characters on each Hebrew line.
The definition of the actual letters used in the Torah font is given
below (the attribution of traup--cantillation marks--is guesswork). The
letters were assigned to the keyboard according to the standard Israeli
typewriter layout. The vowels were assigned according to the layout used
by the PC Hebrew word processor MegaWriter (except that, in MegaWriter,
alt characters represent macro sequences rather than individual characters
in a font).
