Frequently Asked Questions

"Range check Error" (or other errors)

There is a known timer bug in ISA2 that will give a Range check error when the computer is not rebooted after 24 days. So till version 3 is available the solution for now is to restart(reboot) your computer once in 24 days.

Possible other solutions: (updated 15-aug 2014)

Download and run this small program: ISA2_clear.exe - executing this program will clear all the registry settings of ISA2. (If ISA is running first quit ISA then run this program and after that run ISA again.) And can rename the VirtualStore\ISA2 directory in the case that your personal notes files are corrupted.

An additional solution:
- uninstall ISA2 and delete manually the rest of the ISA2 directory. In:
C:\Program Files (x86)
And install ISA2 again.

ISA on Ubuntu (Linux)

Latest News:
Wine version 1.2 now properly renders Hebrew text right-to-left within ISA v2!
Previously, ISA would install and display Hebrew properly, only the right to left support could never be properly realized until this latest release of wine.

Download the files of ISA 2 and the additional modules you want.
Install the files with wine with the command:
wine /path/to/the/installer/ISA_basic_v20_RC7.exe

The additional modules install in the same way.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 - Wine 0.9.59

When you want Wine to use the Windows fonts in ISA2, you need to install these fonts with Synaptic: msttcorefonts or type at the terminal: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts.
Otherwise you have to select fonts from the standard available fonts.

For using the Hebrew right-to-left the USP10.DLL is needed and copied to drive_c/windows/system32 of your .wine folder.

Start 'Configure Wine' from your applications menu or type on the terminal: winecfg
Add ISA.exe (default location: drive_c/Program Files/ISA2) to the Applications tab of the configuration tool.
Select 'ISA.exe' on this tab and switch to the Libraries tab. Add to the list: USP10.DLL.

If you want ISA to display the Greek in modern Greek font add Symbol.ttf to: drive_c/windows/fonts. Symbol is used for the Modern greek font mode of the NT text.

Now you are ready to run ISA with wine.

Ubuntu 10.04 - Wine 1.1.42

needs extra tweak:

Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.10 - Wine 0.9.49

With this version of Wine you need to do the following before ISA2 will work.
First of all two DLLs are needed:
Copy msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll from Windows or download them from the web.
To reduce the error dialog boxes, the files riched20.dll and riched32.dll are needed also, but not mandatory. For using the Hebrew right-to-left the USP10.DLL is also needed.
Put these DLLs in the drive_c/windows/system32 of your .wine folder.

Now you can use ISA 2. Start it from your application menu when you allow the installer to create shortcuts there, or change to the wine directory, where ISA is installed (~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ISA/ and start it with wine ISA.exe or use on one line: env WINEPREFIX="/home/gerrit/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\ISA2\ISA.exe"
Only the help function doesn't work, because a required dll is broken down.
This is tested with wine-0.9.49 and some versions ago.

Wine doesn't have enough fonts to display ISA2 like Windows does. To make it like windows, add times.ttf, arial.ttf, symbol.ttf and cour.ttf (Courier New) to: drive_c/windows/fonts, but you are free to make your own choice. Default Times is used to display the Hebrew words and Symbol is used for the Modern Greek font mode of the NT text.

Now you are ready to run ISA with wine.

How to copy text into a Word Processor?

For now, the only way to export the interlinear is to export an image of it and import this into a Word processor.
Use File > Export > Interlinear as .PNG image, to export a image file (.PNG format) of the interlinear part of the screen.

For the translations you can copy this to the clipboard first (after that you can paste it in your word processor): Double- (left) click on a translation will copy the verse in a Memo field by which it can be copied to the clipboard.

When you need to export a range of verses you can use export translations or notes.

ISA for Mac?

At the moment ISA is pioneering new ways to make the original texts even more accessible with features that are never seen before. For now this takes all of our time and attention.

But you can run ISA on the Mac with an Emulator.

ISA for Android / iPad?

At the moment we are looking at diverse ways to publish our interlinears on tablets. First we want a full PDF with easy navigation, that will work on almost any platform.

Also we are still looking for the right development software for making an App that can be easily compiled for several platforms. At the moment there is some interesting development there but we need to just wait it out before we can make the right choice.
