My Tome Raider Files

These are the files that I created for Tome Raider. Feel free to download them.

Bibles Translations

Usually I pack a few Bible translations in my Psion so that I can use them during the Bible studies. It is just handy to have multiple translations so that you can verify verses, as some translations are more literal, and some translations are easier to understand. For these Bible translations, basically I put one chapter into one section, with the abbreviation of the book plus the chapter number as the index.

  • Chinese Union Version (Traditional Chinese; 1.66Mb)
    Note: encoded using UTF8. On Psion, you need to have UniFEP installed.

Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary

From Bible Fundation’s web site:

These Dictionary topics are from M.G. Easton M.A., D.D., Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition, published by Thomas Nelson, 1897. Due to the nature of etext, the illustrated portion of the Dictionary have not been included.

I personally found Easton’s Bible Dictionary is one of the better public domain one out there, and it cetainly covers a lot of names and terms we find in the Bible. Another nice tool to bring along to your Bible study I guess. Here’s the file:

You can obtain the latest source text file from Bible Fundation’s web site, as it is currently in the public domain. I wrote a simple Python script that takes all the data files and convert them into Tome Raider’s format. Here’s the script:

    Thanks for putting up this nice site.
    Can you please tell me how to convert the extension, “TR” files to a readible palm pilot file? I have a Palm Zire 71.I have Tome Raider and I love it. I have some files now in riddles and some other things but I would love the dictionary and a few other things.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stan

    Hi, Do you have room to post the Bible files in .TR3 format?
    I have them converted and would be glad to upload them to you, if you’d like to post them on your site.

    @Chris,

    Please try to download it again here (unzipped into a single Python script). Not sure why the web server spit the dummy just then.
