I am new to BeST and also to e-Sword so that may be a newbie question. I installed BeST 2.1.0.4 (currently the newest) in order to be able to convert some bible (and other) modules to the Pocket e-Sword format. The modules are downloaded from http://www.forananswer.org/Top_General/E-Sword_Modules.htm. I know that converting to Pocket e-Sword requires Premium version of BeST and I am ready to donate to get it. But first I would like to make sure that it will do what I want to do. Now it seems it will not. Any attempt to open the modules (either in Export or Convert option) ends in Best saying "The file you chose cannot be opened". I tried both 'bbl' (V8) and 'bblx' (V9) versions. The 'bbl' versions can be converted to 'bblx' format using the eSword coverter (available in e-Sword->Downloads->Extras) without any problem. So they are not password-protected. Neither are they commercially distributed. Nor available on e-Sword.net pages.
Any hints?
