Verse of the day - version 1.0
by Fred Anderson
I. Installing
A. Make a directory in which to store the files (maybe C:\BIBLE)
B. Copy the files VEDIT.EXE, TOUCH.EXE, VERSES.BIB and
BIBLE.EXE into your directory.
C. Create new "program items" for VEDIT and BIBLE in Windows.
D. Add these two lines to your WIN.INI file:
[Bible]
Home=C:\BIBLE (or whatever your path is)
E. Only run the TOUCH utility if you receive the program
with no VERSES.BIB file
II. Notes on running
A. You might want to insert the line "run=[PATH]\BIBLE.EXE"
where [PATH] is the path to BIBLE.EXE. This will cause the
verse program to be executed every time Windows is started.
In addition, you can get a random verse at any time by
double-clicking the bible icon.
B. The program will not run correctly unless everything is
set up. (You'll get runtime errors)
III. Bugs
A. I haven't found any bugs - yet...
B. If you find any, please write to me at the address at the
bottom.
IV. The files
A. BIBLE.EXE
1. This is the program that displays the verse for the
day.
2. You can get a verse at any time by double-clicking the
bible icon.
3. Click the "Amen" button to get the verse to go away.
B. TOUCH.EXE
1. This file should only run if you receive no
VERSES.BIB file with your package, or if your file
is deleted.
C. VEDIT.EXE
1. This is the verse editor for the Bible package.
2. Run it by double-clicking the pencil-on-paper icon.
3. Add
a) This adds the verse diplayed to the verse
database.
b) Only click this button AFTER your verse is ready
to save.
4. Delete
a) This deletes the verse whose location appears
in the "Location" box. (example: if "John 3:16"
shows in the "Location" box, then that verse
will be removed from the verse file.)
b) Whatever is in the "Verse" box is irrelevant.
Verses are deleted by location only.
c) Be careful when you use this option.
5. Done - you can figure this one out.
6. Find
a) This option will give you a window with all the
verses that contain whatever is shown in the
"Location" box.
b) For example, if the "Location" box contains:
"John", then the Find window will display all
verses found in: John, I John, II John, and
III John.
c) Single clicking a verse location and "OK" or
double-clicking a location in the Find window
will bring the verse up in the main window.
d) Once a verse is brought into the main window,
it can be edited. However, when you choose
"Add", the verse will be added to the end
of the file. To replace the verse, "Add" it,
then "Delete" the original. Version 2.0 should
have a "Replace" button.
7. Edit - Works on the currently active box.
8. About - Gives version and author information.
D. VERSES.BIB
1. This is the verse file for the other programs.
2. Version 2.0 should have a compressed version (the current
file is not compressed at all), and a utility to
compress your current verse file, so don't worry about
having to reenter all your verses.
V. Adding Verses
A. Feel free to add as many verses as you want and distribute them
with the package.
B. All verses quoted in the original release are from the New
International Version of the Holy Bible unless specifically
noted.
C. The original version was released with 40 verses.
VI. Payment
A. I have a very simple payment plan:
1. If you so desire, please send me a small gift for this
package. $5 - $10 - $15 - whatever.
2. A gift will register your copy and make you eligible
to receive new versions of the program at no cost.
3. If you don't want to send a gift, at least send me a
postcard so I'll know how far the package got.
4. Source code is available for a gift of $25. Just include
a card with your return address on it.
