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 ? )
How to contact me
-----------------

who use it, the more likely I am to release future upgrades. I would
also like to get your comments, bug reports, and suggestions concerning
this program, or an idea for other bible related software. You can
