The Full Text of the Holy Bible in Arabic and English
The complete text of the Holy Bible in Arabic and English

The program includes the complete text of the Holy Bible (Old and New Testaments) in Arabic (standard 1865 A.D. Smith & Van Dyke translation) and English (standard 1611/1762 A.D. King James Version). The program can instantly locate and jump to any biblical verse. Verses can be displayed in both languages simultaneously side by side.


Bilingual Text Search Capabilities
Fast Arabic/English text search capabilities with advanced options

Besides the ability to instantly locate and jump to any verse, there are also full Arabic/English search capabilities allowing the user to find any specific information he/she needs. The user can control the scope of the search, use Boolean operators (and, not, or) and character wild cards (?, *, []), and select whether he/she wants to match whole word(s) only or whole words and parts of words as well. Information on how to use these search capabilities can be found in the Arabic online help that accompanies the program.

See Also: Fast search module. [The Fast Search module takes less than four seconds to scan the whole Holy Bible (Genesis to Revelation) on entry-level Pentium® PCs with average specifications.]

Video Clips
One hour of full-motion colour video clips with Arabic voice-over

With these carefully crafted video clips, Jerusalem and the Holy Land will come alive on your PC screen! The program includes thirty-one clips covering major Christian and Biblical sites in Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

Verses and maps can be copied to Windows Clipboard

Windows 95 Support
Plus: Support for Arabic Windows 95 AutoPlay feature, automated Setup, and much more…

Arabic Holy Bible with KJV Multimedia CD-ROM supports Arabic Windows 95 CD AutoPlay (AutoRun) feature. You can rely on AutoPlay (if your system supports it) for automatically loading and running the CD-ROM Menu program (AUTO.EXE, shown in the figure below) as soon as you pop the CD into the drive (no need for a Run command). If your system does not support AutoPlay, simply run AUTO.EXE from the root of the CD. AUTO.EXE is your gateway to all Arabic Holy Bible CD-ROM contents. Using it, you can easily set up and run the program.


System Requirements

 Any average 386 (or above) IBM®-compatible PC with 4 MB physical RAM and 4 MB or more hard disk swap file (Windows virtual memory).

 Arabic Edition of Microsoft® Windows® Operating System v3.1x (including Arabic Windows for Workgroups), or v4.0/95, or later.

 14 MB of FREE hard disk space. Arabic Holy Bible with KJV will run directly from the supplied CD-ROM AFTER copying some files to user's hard disk. The supplied Setup program automates this procedure and prepares user's system to run the program.

 An MPC-rated CD-ROM drive is needed (150 KB/sec transfer rate or faster).

 16-Colour VGA Windows display driver (any resolution). However, a 256-colour or better driver is STRONGLY recommended to display the program's collection of colour maps and video clips properly. (A generic 256-colour display driver from Microsoft for Windows 3.1 which supports most non-accelerated Super VGA is supplied.)

 Microsoft Video for Windows runtime is also required (the latest version 1.1e is supplied). Arabic Holy Bible Setup program will automatically launch Video for Windows Setup program, unless it detects Windows 95 which has built-in 32-bit Video for Windows codecs.

 Any Windows-compatible sound card (to hear the video clips' voice-over) and a mouse. If the user does not have a dedicated sound hardware, the program's video clips will be silent. (The standard internal PC speaker cannot be used to play the sound track of Video for Windows files, even after installing Microsoft's speaker driver for wave audio playback.)
