Hi Costas,

It has been a long time since I was here
Have to admit I have not used TW (or any other Bible desktop tool) in years. However since I am again picking up some tasks, I am again looking into it.

I see TW still only has windows downloads. Are you still working with Delphi?
Or is TW on .net by now?

For .net since a year or so .net core is released which enables programmers to create cross platform .net applications.
maybe nice to look into


Cheers,

'Course, you are aware that TW for windows does run beautifully in Wine or PlayOnLinux? Personally I run mine in PlayOnLinux, which allows me to "sandbox" it. Granted, like you I would LOVE a native Linux version, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Costas, correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,


Yes, I read it on this forum.
However, I am running mainly Linux for over a year now and this is very, very convenient (use and manage linux for decades, but last year finally found a distro smooth and complete enough to serve as main desktop without having windows besides it) . Though I do have a couple of programs running under wine, this is only work related. (yes, MS ecosystem ) . Everything I use for personal use runs natively under Linux.

Even though running apps under wine often helps, it never feels the same as a native application.

Hello,

The only strong native contender I am aware of is Bible Analyzer. He will be releasing a new update soon that incorporates some really cool original language usage.

theWord is still on delphi, yes, and still on version 7!
If it was to be re-written i doubt it would be on .net to be honest, although it tries to be a cross-platform solution.
