Read *.bok and *.mdb files in Ubuntu 12.04?

software-installation fonts arabic

I have used Windows to read an Arabic book (*.mdb & *.bok) by Maktaba Shamela.

Now I want to use Ubuntu 12.04 to read *.bok & *.mdb files. I tried to install Maktaba Shamela with Wine, but the Arabic font was not shown.

I tried to install thwab (not Thawab) to read my Arabic book (*.bok), but I could not install it. Now I want to install Maktabah Al-Miftah, but to read *.bok, I need to import the (.mfth) file from a Shamela file (.bok) by using AccessDump.py and it depends on gambas3-gb-db-sqlite3.

What can I do?


Solution 1:

Try Maktaba El-Kirtasse or Maktabah Al-Miftah 3.1 (Ubuntu 12.10). Both can import .bok file automatically.

If you use Maktabah Al-Miftah 3.0 (Ubuntu 12.04), you need to import .bok manually. Download AccessDump.py here. Run this command in terminal after you entered the AccessDump.py folder:

MDB_JET3_CHARSET="cp1256" python ./AccessDump.py filename.bok | sqlite3 filename.mfth

Then you may open the .mfth file with Maktabah Al-Miftah 3.0.
