Bibledit Windows Companion

Bibledit Windows Companion, as the name already implies, is the Windows leg of Bibledit. There are some Windows programs that do not communicate directly with Linux programs, except when it is done through an intermediary program. The windows companion is such a helper program.

It is a program based on the code of Umhloli. It has been adapted to work together with Bibledit. It provides scrolling of Paratext and BibleWorks with Bibledit, and many other tools. Most of these tools will eventually be moved to Bibledit.

Any application can connect to Bibledit Windows Companion through TCP/IP. You can connect by typing this command: telnet localhost 51515. Once the OK message from the windows companion comes in, you can find out about the commands by typing help followed by enter.

There can be two Bibledit Windows Companions running at the same time. One on the local workstation, through Wine, and one on a virtual machine running Windows. This way the Windows programs, whether they run on the virtual machine under Windows or whether locally under Linux, they can all communicate with Bibledit.
