<\/a>I am quite sure that the number of people who have a deep desire to be able to read ancient languages on their Pocket PC is small indeed. But the fact that texts that should<\/em> work are available online might lead one to hope. Yet most of the texts I\u2019ve tried confront major issues. Aramaic and Syriac texts for Pocket e-Sword simply can\u2019t be opened. Greek text files of Josephus and Philo show accented letters as little boxes. Is the problem with my rather antiquated little iPaq? Or is it simply that so few people actually try to use these files that no one has noticed the bugs, or if they\u2019ve noticed, no one has dealt with them?<\/p>\nI\u2019ve tried several different programs \u2013 Gramcord\u2019s Olive Tree software, Pocket e-Sword, Hebrew Reader, Mobipocket reader. But there are still some files that don\u2019t open at all, or don\u2019t open as anything readable, in any of the programs I\u2019ve tried.<\/p>\n
Suggestions, remedies, and alternatives are welcome!<\/p>\n
