Hi All,

 

  I'm not sure exactly where to address this question and perhaps it will help to have this clarified in the forum.

 

  I have the GNT-T and every time I check for App updates I see a paid upgrade to the NA27-T.  I have tended to ignore this upgrade because I also have the syntax module which is paired with GNT-T and I don't know whether that will break the syntax module if I upgrade. Notwithstanding that I also have the UBS with Apparatus and as yet text criticism has to be squeezed in between bookshelf construction and Greek

 

  Now I see in the recent NA28 announcement email that a GNT28-T is available. I see that there is an upgrade to GNT28-T available from GNT-T yet this does not show up in me Check for Update even in Paid Upgrades. I don't know if that matters or not but it seems curious to me. Also there is a mention that the GNT28-T will sync with a forthcoming Syntax module.

 

  All combined this prompts a number of questions some of which will probably be redundant when others are answered but here goes :

 

  1. Are the Greek Syntax modules compatible with the NA27/28-T ?

  2. Is the forthcoming syntax module compatible with GNT-T or is it specifically designed to work with GNT28-T ?

  3. If the Syntax Modules are peculiar to a specific GNT*-T will the highly anticipated full NT syntax module be released for both variants ?

  4. Finally, if one was to upgrade the GNT-T that I have to one of GNT28-T or NA28-T (given a positive answer to 2 above) will the current Syntax Module I have continue to work ?

 

Many thanx

D

I don't know the answer to all of your questions, but the upgrade from GNT-T to NA28-T is supposed to include GNT28-T but that didn't install for me. If there are plans to make the syntax work with the new GNT module, it would be helpful to have this upgrade sorted out. 

 

However, adding the NA28-T will not make the syntax stop working. It's just currently set up to work only with the GNT-T so you'll have to use that module for syntax searches and cross-highlighting with the syntax module.

Hi Daniel,

I have the GNT28-T, the syntax modules do not (yet) work with it. There will be a release specific for that text at some stage. Upgrading will not stop the GNT syntax working with your GNT-T text

Daniel, sorry for the confusion. The Paid Upgrades and the Upgrade Calculator docs are now updated and should give current information.

 

The GNT.syntax works only with GNT-T, but we'll have a free upgrade to GNT28-T.syntax which will be compatible with the GNT28-T. I expect that we'll add the new books only to the GNT28-T.syntax as it will be extra work to maintain two databases.

 

The syntax modules do not work with the texts with sigla, as the sigla throw off the synchronization.

 

We will give the GNT28-T at no charge to users who own both the GNT-T and the NA28-T, whichever upgrade path they choose. If it isn't added to your account within a day or two, please request it.

 

I hope this helps to clear up the confusion.

Hi,

 

I installed theNA28 yesterday - upgrading from GNT-T - and explored just how it works. Did anyone meet with the difficulty of synchronizing text and apparatus? If I open the Gospel of Mark I am given the apparatus of Luke and scrolling the windows does not hinder the two items to part again.

 

Thanks for any help.

Confirmed. If the NA28-T is the search text, then the apparatus shows for the next book. This is true not just for Mark but all the way from Matthew to Revelation. If you try to read Revelation, you get the appendices. However, this only happens for the inscriptions. If you open a specific verse reference (Like Mark 1:1), everything stays in sync.

Thanks a lot.
