Absolutely, Positively Certain there is not a Linux version of Libronix. I am only 99 percent sure there is nothing comperable in Linux. (Nothing comperable in Windows either). But thanks for the google reminder. Some time ago I noticed a mailing discussion list for those interested in bible use on Linux was going to start. When I just looked, it had just started. Thanks.
Also 100 percent certain CodeWeavers Crossover is unable to handle Libronix. It specifically states that on its web site. ==========
Ok, just curious, because I found several things on Sourceforge when I did the "sf:bible" entry. Looked like some pretty complete bible study programs, although not nearly as complete as Libronix. I had a look at that program and it offers quite a lot, if you are extensively into bible & the holy land study. =========== [...]
Libronix needs IE6 but it also needs XP (or at least a late windows version compatible with IE6) to run, and I did not think Wine could use any Windows higher than 98SE -but that was a while ago that I looked. Also I am truly afraid to mess with the kernel to install Windows via Wine. **********
You might want to setup a machine with Windows or fix yourself a dual boot type setup, so you can use it then. That may be the best alternative for you at the moment, although putting Windows or IE on the internet is asking for trouble. =========
NEXT topic: Which of those Linux word processors is the strongest in features for long article writing?
Many thanks for your help. How can I return the favor?

OpenOffice.org is probably your strongest with the most usable features presently. It is also available for Windows. Using that would make it easy to move back and forth with files. Glad to be of some help Lee
