Dear Bible Student-
These files are Amiga translations of a Public Domain King James
Bible,
originally available on the Commodore 64. (The original was
compiled
by Randall J. Bernard and a team of volunteer typists.) It was
ported
over and converted from PETSCII to standard ASCII using version
2.0
of ReadySoft's C64 Emulator.
The entire Bible fits on four Amiga disks as ARC files. Each disk
contains
two ARC files, each of which unARCs to fill a single Amiga disk,
so the
entire Bible unARCed fills eight Amiga disks. The files have been
split to
keep whole books together for study purposes, so some disks will
be fuller
than others. The last disk will be only 34% full, leaving plenty
of room
for any indexes or study programs you may want to add.
TO UNARC ON A DUAL DRIVE SYSTEM:
Place a formatted disk in drive df1: and the ARC disk in df0:, and type
UNARC df0:filename df1: for the first filename. Do the same with a second
disk in drive df1: for the second filename. Remember, each ARC disk unarcs
to TWO disks full of files!
TO UNARC ON A SINGLE DRIVE ONE MEG SYSTEM:
This method should work, though I havn't tried it. COPY one of the ARC
files to RAM:, then UNARC to a fresh formatted disk in df0: Delete the ARC
file in RAM:, and repeat the process for the second ARC file.
ORGANIZATION
Each book is divided into separate files for each chapter. Each verse is
preceded by the book name, chapter, and verse number, and is followed by a
carriage return. It should be easy to write programs to search through
these files. If you'd like to modify the format, just use any Amiga
wordprocessor or text editor. These are standard Amiga ASCII files.
This PD version of the King James Bible is freely distributable. Please do
so. Spread The Word.
