HolyBible; Resource Builder utility
To facilitate the creation of your own Biblical Resource materials
The Resource Builder is a separate utility which runs alongside HolyBible. It allows you to drag in your own files and tag these to appear when relavant Bible verses are being read. Verse references can be dragged in from HolyBible or be entered manually.
After the Resource data is saved it is not necessary to run the Resource Builder to view the items. So you may send the compiled Resources to other users with HolyBible for them to enjoy.
Resource files can be any RISC OS filetype. Text, Sprites and Drawfiles are handled internally by HolyBible, and may thus be compiled by ResBuild in a compressed format.
All other filetypes (JPEG photos, MIDI music files, HTML web-pages etc) are held separately, and HolyBible will pass these to an appropriate external application if they are selected by the user. A compiled Resource looks like this when running within HolyBible:-
Clicking on the Item of interest will open a window to display it.
Drawings in Sprite or Drawfile format are permitted to have overlays, so that location boxes and arrows may be attached to maps without altering the original diagram.
The Resource Builder comes with a comprehensive manual and a set of example files which are used within the Tutorial Section to compile a Resource on the discovery of the text of Psalm 37 amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Some commercially published HolyBible Resources, such as the 
NRSV Study Notes, are locked out from being edited further within Resource Builder for licensing reasons.
Others such as the REB Resources are deliberately left editable so that users can add their own material.
