(2) Copyright info
The Gospel version of VerseWise is freely distributable: feel free to
make as many copies as you like and distribute it to whomever you
please.
HOWEVER: you may not alter the archive or the files therein. Nor may
you make a profit by selling copies.
VW (VerseWise) uses the King James Version of the Bible, which is in
the public domain. Thus, any scripture outputted by VW may also be
freely copied and distributed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Summary of commands
All of VW's functions are available through the Menus, and are (I
hope!) self-explanatory.
VERSEWISE
ABOUT - Current version, my address.
HELP - Not much, really. The only keys not explained anywhere
else!
QUIT - You may also quit by hitting the main window close gadget.
Very helpful if you want to immediately quit when the menu
option is "ghosted" (not available).
GO TO
VERSE - Allows you to immediately jump to a specific scripture
reference. For the book, begin typing in the name and it
should appear in [brackets] after a couple key-strokes.
The up & down cursor keys may be used to scroll
through the available books. When entering the chapter
and verse, the up & down cursor keys may also be used
to scroll through the values, while the left & right
cursor keys jump you to the lowest and highest value
available.
SEARCH
NEXT - Finds next verse in specified range that contains the
word or words you have defined.
CURRENT - Jumps you back to the current find. Convenient if you
started wandering around after finding a verse and don't
know how to get back.
PREVIOUS - Jumps back to a previous verse that contained the word
or words you defined. Note that this is not a "backward"
search. You have to have already searched forward to
return to previous finds.
WORD - Define the words you are looking for. You may define up
to ten (10) words. A found verse will contain all of
these words. Begin typing in word; hit RETURN when it
appears in [brackets]. Words definition and searches
are case sensitive.
RANGE - Define the search range. It saves time to limit searches
to single books, or parts of books, if that is all you are
interested in. Your range will be "invalid" if the
beginning scripture appears in the Bible after your
ending scripture.
OUTPUT
FILE - Define the file you want to output to. The default
filename is "ram:vw_output.txt".
SCREEN - Copies text in current window to file.
RANGE - Output range to file (from single verses to whole books).
APPEND - If this is toggled on, outputted text will be appended
to file. Otherwise, anything previously in the file will
be overwritten.
FORMATTED - If toggled on, the text will be written to file as it
appears on screen. (One can vary the line lengths by
changing the width of the window.) Otherwise, it will be
written to file as one line, with a space between each
verse.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(4) VerseWise Copy & Paste
There are no internal functions in VerseWise to copy scriptures and
paste them into word processors or terminal programs. However, there
are several external utilities available that allow you do so, such
"PowerSnap" and "Osnap". Check sources of public domain and shareware
software for these programs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) Information about VerseWise
VerseWise is also available in "New Testament" and "whole Bible"
versions.
New Testament: $15 (one disk)
Whole Bible - hard disk version: $25 (three disks)
(installation program included)
Whole Bible - floppy disk version: $25 (four disks)
If you want the whole Bible, please specify whether you want the HARD
DISK version or the FLOPPY DISK version. If you do not have a hard
disk you will not be able to access the whole Bible at once. You will
have three sections (Old Testament 1, Old Testament 2, New Testament),
and will have to open each individually in order to view and/or
search them.
VerseWise can run on a 512k system. As far as different versions of
the Amiga operating system go, if the Gospel version runs on your
current configuration, the NT and WB versions will also. If the
Gospel version does not run on your system, please let me know.
The "New Testament" and "whole Bible" versions of VerseWise may not be
distributed by anyone other than the author.
