Download the files of ISA 2 and the additional modules you want.
When you want Wine to use the Windows fonts in ISA2, you need to install
these fonts with Synaptic: msttcorefonts or type at the terminal: sudo
apt-get install msttcorefonts.
With this version of Wine you need to do the following before ISA2 will
work. Start 'Configure Wine' from your applications menu or type on the terminal:
winecfg Now you can use ISA 2. Start it from your application menu when you allow
the installer to create shortcuts there, or change to the wine directory,
where ISA is installed (~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ISA/ and start
it with wine ISA.exe or use on one line: env WINEPREFIX="/home/gerrit/.wine"
wine "C:\Program Files\ISA2\ISA.exe" Wine doesn't have enough fonts to display ISA2 like Windows does. To make like windows, add Times, Arial, Symbol and Courier to: drive_c/windows/fonts, but you are free to make your own choice. Default Times is used to display the Hebrew words and Symbol is used for the Modern greek font mode of the NT text.
(Thanks to Gerrit Uitslag for making this info available.)

For now the the only way to
export the interlinear is to export an image of it and import this into a Word
processor. For the translations you can copy this to the clipboard first (after that you can past it in your word processor): Double- (left) click on a translation will copy the verse in a Memo field by which it can be copied to the clipboard. When you
need to export a range of verses you can use export translations or notes.

ISA for PDA handheld? ISA for Mac? This is a difficult
point. At the moment ISA is pioneering new ways to make the original texts even
more accessible with features that are never seen before. For now this takes all
of our resources. For the PDA it might be possible to think of some simple alternative. But another problem is the screen size of most PDAs used today, are to small for displaying an interlinear. Also the UMPCs are coming on which you can run ISA without any adjustments. There are no plans for making ISA available for the Mac platform.
