Convert HARX to DEVX

Understanding HARX and DEVX file formats

HARX files are typically associated with e-Sword, a popular Bible study software. HARX stands for e-Sword Resource Archive and is used to package and distribute e-Sword resources such as commentaries, dictionaries, and Bibles. These files are essentially compressed archives containing resource data for import into e-Sword.

DEVX files are also used by e-Sword, specifically for e-Sword devotional modules. A DEVX file contains daily devotional content, formatted for use within the e-Sword application. Converting a HARX file to a DEVX file typically means extracting devotional content from a HARX archive and repackaging it as a DEVX module.

There is no direct, one-click converter for HARX to DEVX, as HARX files may contain various types of resources, not just devotionals. To convert, you need to:

1. Extract the HARX file using a tool like 7-Zip or WinRAR to access its contents.
2. Identify the devotional content (usually in RTF or HTML format).
3. Use the e-Sword Module Converter or e-Sword ToolTip Tool NT to create a new DEVX file from the extracted devotional content.
