GBF Conversion Software
The following programs were written primarily for my own use in
conjunction with the World English Bible and HNV projects. Therefore,
they are not polished, professional-quality software. They work for me,
and if they help you, too, that is great! I find General Bible Format a
little easier to work with than other, more standard formats, but I
want to be able to convert to these other formats. That is what these
programs do.
gbfconverter.zip contains gbf2osis.exe,
gbf2xsem.exe, and gbf2sf.exe to convert to OSIS, XSEM,
and USFM,
respectively.
gbfconvertersource.zip contains C#
.NET source code for the above programs.
gbfsrc.zip contains Borland Delphi 7 (object
Pascal) source code for gbfcnvt.exe, which converts to HTML, RTF, TeX,
plain ASCII text, a format readable by BibleWorks 5 or later, and a
couple of less useful formats.
These programs were written by Michael
Paul Johnson, and are released under the Gnu Lesser Public License
or the IBM Common License, which ever you prefer. These programs are not
supported, and not guaranteed in any way.
Another GBF
conversion program to convert from GBF to Palm Bible+ format is
available.
GBF Bible texts are available for the World English Bible, the World English Bible: Messianic
Edition (also known as the Hebrew Names Version), the American Standard Version,
and the King James Version.
A partial GBF Bible text is available for the God’s Living Word translation.
