OS for "the Word"

What about Linux? Any coop plans with UbuntuCE? e-Sword works on Linux with Crossover.
Anyone tried Parallels with MAC? Virtual desktops are coming in this year which may make
a big difference in a lot of software. Thanks. :roll:

I think that the latest UbuntuCE contains an installer for TheWord. It is reported to work.
Please, check the UbuntuCE latest edition,

Hi,

I confirm the following. This is the way how to install The Word on a MAC. Use the "Emulator" CrossOver.

Installation went really smooth with CrossOver 9.2 and TW 3.2.0.1102 .

The only thing that is a bit slow is if you swap from let's say the Bible view to the Study view, it takes 1-2 seconds to change the corresponding toolbar.
Also, when you resize the window to full screen, it takes around 5 seconds.

Beyond that, the main menues (File, View, Tools, Window, Help) and the "Verse Reference (F4)" feature as well as the "Search" feature are really fast. Also - very important - the hyperlinks (cross references) within the text show up really fast - No difference to TW without Emulator.

At first sight creating modules seem to be a piece of cake too. No difference to the windows version.

In Him,
Cornelius
