GENERAL
~~~~~~~
OLB2SM.EXE converts selected Online Bible (OLB) text files into a
format compatible with the SeedMaster program.
Instead of spreading text files across mutliple directories, OLB2SM
concatenates the text, (stripping some extraneous hard returns and
spacing to display more info on the screen at one time) and builds
two files:
1) a Text file (ends in .DAT or .SMC) 2) a Index file (.NDX).
The result is more efficient disk space usage, faster text access and
the ability to search textual records relatively quickly (SeedMaster
lets you search the TSK, Lex, etc., for words or numbers and "page" thru
the hits).
OLB2SM is written to support the Online Bible V6 file and directory
structure (both types). It may run on previous versions, but was not
tested for that.
We do not have an export facility at this time. We may add it later.
OLB2SM (and SeedMaster) support a maximum of 30,000 characters in a
record. If a larger record is encountered, it is truncated.
WARNING!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OLB2SM is a utility program. We tested it and use it ourselves. We only
open OLB files in read-only mode, but there is no guarantee that the
program has not been corrupted in the Shareware process, and there-
fore could perform unexpectedly. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD BACK UP YOUR FILES
ON YOUR HARD DISK BEFORE RUNNING OLB2SM. White Harvest Software, Inc.,
hereby disclaims all warranties on OLB2SM and any responsibility for
any damages which may arise from its use or miss-use.
SUPPORTED FILES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SeedMaster converts and supports:
OLB Directory(s) SM V2.3 Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HEBREW, GREEK LEX.DAT, LEX.NDX
MHC MHC.DAT, MHC.NDX (SM/Win Only)
PNT PNT.DAT, PNT.NDX
RWP RWP.DAT, RWP.NDX
SCOFIELD SCOFIELD.DAT, SCOFIELD.NDX
TSK TSK.DAT, TSK.NDX
TOPICS TOPICS.DAT, TOPICS.NDX
If you have files you would like to use (in 2GREEK, 2HEBREW, or "verse
by verse" materials like TSK, PNT, etc.) and you don't mind the trouble
of copying/renaming directories to one of the supported types and then
running OLB2SM, it will probably work. You will have to put up with the
wrong Window title in SeedMaster, but otherwise, it will likely work.
