EBP (Eric's Bible Program) Version 0.5 Alpha by Eric James

This program is in alpha state, in the future I will write some real
documentation.

Disclaimer
----------
  There is no warranty of any kind with this software package.  You
  use this at your own risk.

Distribution
------------
  This program is freeware as long as the entire archive is distributed
  unmodified.

Misc
----
  This it the first pre-release version of EBP, it still lacks many
  features.  I am releasing it hoping for some feedback as to it's
  stability on different setup's.

  The program is about 700 lines of E code, developed on an NTSC A1200 with
  8MB Fast RAM and 2MB Chip RAM.  I have a 68030/68882 running at 33MHz
  and a 400MB Hard Drive.

Features
--------
  * Single word searching.
      multiple word in the next release.
  * Limited phrase searching.
      currently it can miss some phrases, this will be fixed for
      the next release
  * Multiple windows, currently limited to 11 windows
  * Runs on a clone of the workbench screen.
  * Menu driven user interface.

Requirements
------------
  This should work on any Amiga running OS2.0+.
  About 5MB free disk space

Installation
------------
  Unpack the archive into the desired directory. Nothing else is required.

Usage
-----
  For now the program will only run from the CLI.  Simply type ebp at the
  CLI to start the program.

  All other commands are menu driven.

Bugs
----
  At the present time there are no bugs that I know of, however some
  probably do exist.  If you find any you should email me at
  ejames@iucf.indiana.edu

Future
------
  What are some of the future plans for EBS ?

  Plans:
    Better documentation.
    Providing Icon support
    A lookup table for fast searching
    imited data compression.
    Book marks.
    User notes attached to books, chapters, and verses.


  Possibilities:
    Arexx interface.
    Data compression ( XPK support ? )
