-
- ============================================================
- Versions available for non-Windows computers
- ============================================================
- There are two non-Windows versions of the Bible Memory
- program available. One for DOS/Compatibles and the other
- for the Apple Macintosh.
-
-
- ============================================================
- Purpose of the program
- ============================================================
- This program will do two main things for you:
-
- 1.) Teach you powerful memory systems.
- 2.) Test your memory in a fun way.
-
- The memory systems assist the user in memorizing the:
-
- 1.) Location of verses.
- 2.) Key thoughts in a verse or chapter.
- 3.) Verses in a word-for-word form.
-
- Please take the time to read the Memory Lessons under
- the Bible Memory Help menu.
-
- The contents of this help section are stored in the text file
- named: README.DOC and can be printed on paper using the
- DOS command: TYPE README.DOC > PRN
-
- ============================================================
- Installing Bible Memory for Windows onto a hard disk
- ============================================================
-
- You will need to copy all files you receive with ToolBook
- Runtime, when you download it, to the directory containing
- you Bible Memory files.
- You should keep a copy of the README.DOC text file, the
- compressed file BMEMORY.ZIP on your hard disk so you can
- give your friends a copy of everything they will need.
-
- ============================================================
- Starting Bible Memory 3.0 for Windows
- ============================================================
- There are two ways to start the program:
-
- 1.) Start Microsoft Windows first then in the Windows
- Program Manager choose Run from under the File menu
- and type C:\BMEMORY\TBOOK BMEMORY
-
- 2.) If your system has been configured properly you can
- start Windows and the Bible Memory program with one
- command at the DOS prompt. First to change to the
- Bible Memory subdirectory type CD\BMEMORY
- and press the enter key. Then to start Windows and
- Bible Memory type in the single command
- as follows WIN TBOOK BMEMORY
-
-
-
- ============================================================
- Giving a friend a copy of Bible Memory
- ============================================================
- All of the files needed to run the Bible Memory program are
- compressed into a single file called: BMEMORY.ZIP. You
- should also give them a copy of the file called: README.DOC
- which contains general information on how to use the program.
-
- So, give your friend the following files:
-
- 1. BMEMORY.ZIP
- 2. READEME.DOC
- 3. PKUNZIP.EXE (if they do not already have it)
-
-
- ============================================================
- Contents of the three key files:
- ============================================================
- 1. BMEMORY.ZIP Compressed files which must of course
- be uncompressed prior to use. In the uncompressed
- state the Bible Memory program files along with several
- sample text files of verses occupy approximately
- 2.5 meg of hard disk space.
-
- 2. README.DOC Text file with general help on installing,
- using and copying Bible Memeory program.
-
- 3. PKUNZIP.EXE Executable file used to decompress
- BMEMORY.ZIP.
-
- ============================================================
- Importing Verses into the Bible Memory program
- ============================================================
- You can import text files of verses which have been
- created in one of the following ways:
-
- 1. Created in a Bible software program or word
- processor and saved as a text file (ASCII).
-
- 2. Created within the Bible Memory program itself by
- typing the verses into either the primary or secondary
- file windows. Verses will be randomly selected from
- the Primary Text window. For the program to work
- properly there must be five or more verses in the
- Primary Text window.
-
- Regardless of the source, the file must conform to the following format:
-
- Type in the book name, then leave a blank space, the
- chapter and verse reference which must be separated by
- a colon ":", then leave a blank space, and then the content
- of the verse itself. Each verse must be followed by a return
- and each verse must be separated with a return.
-
- The Bible Memory program will add the memory hook
- markers "[->" and "<-]" on either side of memory hooks
- you add.
-
- I recommend trying to memorize about seven new verses at a time.
