- 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.
