***WHAT IS KNOW YOUR VERSES?***
(Available for DOS or Windows)
KNOW YOUR VERSES is a menu driven, mouse supported program for
memorizing Bible verses using any Bible version you choose. In addition,
KNOW YOUR VERSES has the ability to display the Book, Chapter, & Verse
Reference as the question OR to display the Verse as the question. The
data files are solely controlled by the user. One can edit, change, and
put whatever verses are desired into the data files for study. The data
files are only limited only by the disk space on the user's computer.
KNOW YOUR VERSES also has three distinctive features that I, the
programmer/author, have not seen in any other program that makes this
study program unique & user friendly, therefore providing the maximum
learning experience:
---------------------------------Page 4----------------------------------
1) Easy Computer Interaction!
With many study programs, when the user is asked a question, the
answer has to be TYPED in EXACTLY. In KNOW YOUR VERSES, all
with a few mouse clicks:
A) The computer asks the question.
B) The user says the answer to himself.
C) The computer displays the answer.
D) The user tells the computer whether he answered right or
wrong.
E) The computer then keeps track of the user's score and asks the
next question.
---------------------------------Page 5----------------------------------
2) Recursive Learning!
When the user has answered all the questions in the current area
of study, the computer displays the score & GIVES THE USER THE
OPTION OF RETESTING THE QUESTIONS HE MISSED. If he again misses
some questions, the computer again GIVES THE USER THE OPTION OF
RETESTING THE QUESTIONS HE MISSED. This goes on until all questions
are answered correctly or the user decides to quit. This is the
concept of Recursive Learning; reviewing what you don't know until
you know it.
3) User Definable Menu!
The user can redefine some menu areas to call them whatever is
desired. This allows the program to be flexible to meet the needs
of the user.
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
One of the best ways I have found to learn and retain Bible verses is to
study a few every day by selecting ALL AREAS - 10% OF QUESTIONS from the
TESTING & MISC menu.
---------------------------------Page 6----------------------------------
***WHAT IS RECURSIVE LEARNING?***
The word RECURSIVE comes from the root word RECUR. RECUR means: 1. To
happen, come up, or show up again repeatedly. 2. To return to one's
attention or memory. 3. To return in thought or discourse. 4. To have
recourse.
In KNOW YOUR VERSES, you are given the option to be RECURSIVELY quizzed
on the questions you answered incorrectly. After finding out what you do
& don't know, why study what you already know? It only makes sense to
just study what you don't know, after finding out what that is.
The information that you can learn using this program is only limited to
what you put in the data files, diskspace, and your capabilities.
(Of course, brain bytes and motivation could be a limiting factor!)
---------------------------------Page 7----------------------------------

---------------------------------Page 9----------------------------------
WARNING ITEMS: (Do's & Don'ts)
************************************************************
-In the CONFIG.SYS file (located in the root directory), there must be
this statement: FILES=15 (Or a number greater than 15).
-KYV must have been installed into a subdirectory. It cannot
be run properly in the root directory of any disk drive.
---------------------------------Page 10---------------------------------
-KYV must have a least one subdirectory of data files below the
program directory. If you did not receive a subdirectory of data
files with KYV then you can create a sample directory of data
files to get you started by following these steps:
1) Run the program by typing KYV.
2) Select <CONTINUE UNREGISTERED> from the Registration Notice screen.
3) You should be at the Main Menu. Press <F2> and another menu should
appear with one of the options being <CREATE NEW BIBLE VERSION AREA>.
Select that option. It may ask for a name. Name it KJV. After
it creates the new directory, KJV should appear at the top left
corner of the menu.
4) Double Click on KJV to select.
5) Press <ESC> or select <RETURN TO MAIN MENU> to continue.
<END OF PROCEDURE>
---------------------------------Page 11---------------------------------
-In the data files, you must CAPITALIZE the letter Q & the letter A,
which are KYV's flag that a question or answer is next.
-If you manually edit the data files outside of KYV using your
own word processor, then after starting KYV you need to select
UPDATE MASTER DATA FILE from the TESTING & MISC menu before using the
COMPREHENSIVE TESTING SECTION (also located in the TESTING & MISC menu).
Also, if you use your own word processor to edit the data files, be sure
to save them in the ASCII format.
---------------------------------Page 12---------------------------------
-You must strictly abide to the format set forth for creating data files
as outlined in the CREATING DATA FILES section of this document. If
you follow the examples in the file DATAFIL.EXP you should have no
problem. If you incorrectly create a data file, it will show up when you
run KYV and access that data file by putting the questions and answers
out of order. It may also show up when the program goes to UPDATE THE
MASTER DATA FILE by locking up the program. This is not good,
Maverick! In case the program locks up, after rebooting, load
the file, MASTER.DAT, into your word processor and see what Question &
Answer was put in last: that Question and Answer (or the one preceding
or following) is most likely the culprit that was put in incorrectly.
You now need to go to the data file containing that Question & Answer
and correct it. You can pretty much tell what file that question and
answer is in by the subject matter of the questions around it in the
MASTER.DAT file.
---------------------------------Page 13---------------------------------
CAUTION ITEMS: (Hints, Tips, Etc.)
*******************************************************************
-To start KYV, change to the directory KYV is located in, type "KYV",
& press <ENTER>.
-All windows in KYV that have a solid block (▀) in the upper left
hand corner can be closed by hitting <ESC> or double-clicking quickly
with the mouse cursor on the solid block.
-If you do not have a mouse then know that all menus are also manipulable
by using a combination of the <TAB> & ARROW KEYS & pressing <ENTER>.
<ESC> will close Windows. There are also HOT KEYS on most menus.
---------------------------------Page 14---------------------------------
-In order to use EDIT DATA FILE feature (located in the TESTING & MISC
menu) you must have a path to the DOS 5+ EDITOR (EDIT.COM probably
located in the DOS directory on your computer), or have EDIT.COM in the
same directory that you have KYV installed to. If KYV
cannot find EDIT.COM then it will quickly flash a message that says,
"BAD FILENAME".
-The KYV for DOS's data files are compatible with KYV for Windows.
-You MUST at least have a TITLE in each data file.
---------------------------------Page 15---------------------------------
***KNOW YOUR VERSES MENUS***
All menus are mouse supported. They also can be manipulated with the
keyboard by using a combination of the <TAB> & ARROW KEYS & <ENTER>.
All windows in KYV that have a solid block (▀)in the upper left
hand corner can be closed by hitting <ESC> or double-clicking quickly
with the mouse cursor on the solid block.
While in any quizzing session, there area total of 6 "Buttons" to choose
from:
Two of the buttons are visible when the question is displayed:
SEE ANSWER <SPACE BAR>: Shows the correct answer
EXIT: Exits that quizzing session
The other 4 buttons are visible when the question & answer are displayed:
---------------------------------Page 16---------------------------------
PRINT: Prints the current question and answer
TEST-MAKER: Puts the questions into the Test-Maker queue.
Before selecting questions for Test-Maker, it
is a good idea to make sure the queue is empty by
Selecting TEST-MAKER on the TESTING & MISC menu
and assuring that PRESELECTED QUESTION = 0.
RIGHT <SPACEBAR>: Grades your answer as right & displays next question
WRONG: Grades your answer as wrong & displays next question
MAIN MENU:
USER DEFINED MENU:
AREAS A-P: (These menu areas to redefinable.)
RETEST MISSED QUESTIONS: (Retests question missed from previous area.)

ALL AREAS-RANDOM 50% OF QUESTIONS: (Quizzes 50% of all areas combined)
RETEST MISSED QUESTIONS: (Retests question missed from previous area.)
UPDATE MASTER DATA FILE: (Updates the master data file after editing.
Need to select this upon starting KYV,
anytime you have edited the data files
outside of KYV with your own word
processor.) Make sure that in the
CONFIG.SYS file, (located in the root
directory) the statement: FILES=15 (or
greater) exists.
---------------------------------Page 18---------------------------------
EDIT DATA FILES...: Edit data files; Must be using DOS 5+,
because it uses DOS 5+'s EDITOR.
So therefore, user must either have a
path to the DOS 5+'s EDIT.COM or have
it in the KYV program directory.
PRINT DATA FILES...: Prints the data files
TEST-MAKER...: Creates & prints Tests & the Key
to the test.
10 20 50 100: You can have Test-Maker randomly select
10, 20, 50, or 100 questions from the
master data file to be in the test.
PRINT PRESELECTED QUESTIONS:
While being quizzed in any area, you can
individually select the questions you want
to have in the test. At the top of the
quizzing screen you will see the number of
questions you have in the Test-Maker queue.
---------------------------------Page 19---------------------------------
PRINT PRESELECTED QUESTIONS:
Clears the preselected questions out of the
Test-Maker queue.
CREATE AN INSTALL DISKETTE:
Creates an unregistered install diskette of
Know Your Verses that contains the serial
number of the last person to register the
program so that when a new DODDger Software
customer registers and reports that serial
number, the appropriate person will get their
Distribution Royalty. (See Registration
Benefits & Distribution Royalties.)
PRODUCT INFO & ORDERING:
This is where you can print out the order
form to the printer or to a disk. The order
form contains prices for all Windows and DOS
programs.
---------------------------------Page 20---------------------------------
Information on other DODDger Software
products can also be found there.
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM...: (Displays registration info and etc.)
QUIT: (Quits program)
F1 = HELP: (Displays KYV disclaimer and this file.)
F2 = SELECT VERSION: (Allows creation, selection, and backing up
of up to 500 different versions.)
RETURN TO MAIN MENU: (Goes back to Main Menu)
CREATE NEW BIBLE VERSION AREA: (Creates a new Bible Version data
file subdirectory)
F3 = REFERENCE OR SCRIPTURE 1ST: (You can choose whether to have the
reference or scripture displayed as the
question.)
---------------------------------Page 21---------------------------------
BACKUP DATA FILES TO FLOPPY FROM SELECTED VERSION:
Backs up the Selected Bible Version's data
files to floppy disk. Be sure to label the
diskettes in numerical order if more than
one is used. Data files backed up with KYV
for DOS can be restored with KYV for
Windows. DO NOT use the backed up files
created here for uploading to BBSes to
share with others. Instead, from DOS use
a file compression (archiving) utility to
zip up the desired data file directory into
one file and upload that file. (When
uploading a file to a BBS and the BBS asks
for a description of the file, be sure to
include the program it goes with (KYV in
this case), Version, etc.)
---------------------------------Page 22---------------------------------
RESTORE DATA FILES FROM FLOPPY DISK (CREATES NEW VERSION):
Restores data files previously backed up
with KYV. Be sure to insert the diskettes
in the same sequence they were backed up.
Data files backed up with KYV for Windows
can be restored with KYV for DOS.
---------------------------------Page 23---------------------------------
***CREATING DATA FILES***
(See DATA FILE LISTING & DESCRIPTIONS on p.7 for filenames & descriptions)
A good place to get Bible verses is from a computerized Bible that has
a built in word processor or notepad that allows you to cut and paste
Bible verses. That way you can paste them into the data files.
If you have created a good base of data files for a certain version, then
please upload it to the DODDger Software BBS in order that they may be
shared with others.
Or, if you got this program from a BBS, then upload your data files in
the same area the program is in to share with others. Before uploading
data files, from DOS us a file compression (archiving) utility to zip up
the desired data file directory into one file and upload that file.
(When uploading a file to a BBS and the BBS asks for a description of the
file, be sure to include the program it goes with (KYV in this case),
version, etc.)
---------------------------------Page 24---------------------------------
Although data files must be present for KYV to operate properly, data
files are not part of the program. Therefore, DODDger Software cannot
be liable for the content of any data file. The user has the ability
to edit, change, and construct data files for his/her own usage.
Data files are located in subdirectories under the program directory.
You must have a least one data file subdirectory for KYV to operate.
Each data file subdirectory contains 41 data files plus 2 other files that
store program information for a total of 43 files. All 41 data files have
the extension of DAT (*.DAT). One of those 41 files is the master data
file (MASTER.DAT). It is automatically updated when you finish editing
data files from within KYV. (You can edit data files from within KYV by
selecting EDIT DATA FILE from the TESTING & MISC menu if you are using and
have a path to the DOS 5+'s editor (EDIT.COM).) If you edit a data file
outside of KYV, then upon starting KYV the next time, you need to select
---------------------------------Page 25---------------------------------
UPDATE MASTER DATA FILE from the TESTING & MISC menu so that the data you
have changed in the data file(s) will be updated in the master data file.
The master data files does not include the title and introductory remarks
of the individual data files, only the questions & answers.
The other two files in each data file directory are:
MENUAREA.ITM--It contains the User Defined Area data.
NUMBER.QST----It contains the total number of questions in the master
data file.
While running KYV, the data file that is being read from is listed in the
upper right hand corner of the screen.
Each data file is made of :
1) The Title (MUST be one in each data file.)
2) 17 Lines of Introductory Remarks (Optional)
3) The Question and Answer (17 Lines of Data Total for
each question and answer.)
---------------------------------Page 26---------------------------------
-All data files are limited to 74 characters per line. The easiest way
to put data files together is with a word processor that displays the
column number the cursor is on as you type, or has a ruler showing the
column number. DOS 5+'s EDITOR does display the column number where the
cursor is presently located. In KYV when you select EDIT DATA
FILES (located on the TESTING & MISC menu), it uses the DOS 5+'s EDITOR
to edit the data files. (See ***MENU FUNCTIONS*** above.)
*-The first line in the data file is the TITLE for that area.
(Must have a title in each data file.)
*-The next 1-17 lines are for the INTRODUCTORY REMARKS for that area.
(Do not have to have introductory remarks.)
-The Introductory Remarks can have blank lines, but those blank lines
are counted as one of the 17 Lines of Introductory Remarks.
*-Then come the QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
-The question and answer together can consist of no more that 17 lines of
data.
---------------------------------Page 27---------------------------------
-Each data file MUST have a TITLE in it if nothing else.
-You must always precede the Question with the capital letter Q. The
Q must be on a line by itself.
-You must always precede the Answer with the capital letter A. The
A must be on a line by itself.
-The Q & A are not counted as one of the 17 Lines of Data.
-You can have blank lines in the Question, but not in the answer. Those
blank lines are counted as one of the 17 Lines of Data. You can
a blank line in the Answer by putting some character at the beginning
of the line, like the character "-". See the following sample.
SAMPLE DATA FILE-THIS IS THE TITLE LINE
17 LINES OF INTRODUCTORY REMARKS CAN BE DISPLAYED HERE I (Line 1)
N (Line 2)
There can only be 74 characters in each line. T (Line 3)
You can have blank lines in these INTRODUCTORY REMARKS but R (Line 4)
------------Page 28-(Page number only, not part of this sample)-----------
those blank lines are counted as one of the 17 LINES OF O (Line 5)
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. D (Line 6)
You don't have to have any INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. U (Line 7)
C (Line 8)
NOW CONCERNING THE QUESTION AND ANSWER T (Line 9)
There can only be 74 characters in each line. O (Line 10)
The Letter "Q" must be on the line preceding the question. R (Line 11)
The Letter "A" must be on the line preceding the answer. Y (Line 12)
The question and answer cannot exceed a combined total (Line 13)
of 17 LINES OF DATA. R (Line 14)
You can have blank lines, but only in the QUESTION, M (Line 15)
not the ANSWER. K (Line 16)

***DODDger SOFTWARE BBS***
Please call the DODDger SOFTWARE BBS: (817) 431-3557 at settings
N-8-1(NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit), 14,400bps(baud) or
lower for support & to upload & download data files for Know Your Stuff,
Know Your Verses, and Know Your Aircraft. Also, you can write for
support.
---------------------------------Page 33---------------------------------
***TROUBLESHOOTING***
-You must strictly abide to the format set forth for creating data files
as outlined in the CREATING DATA FILES section of this document. (If
you follow the examples in the file DATAFIL.EXP you should have no
problem. If you incorrectly create a data file, it will show up by
putting the questions & answers out of order when you access that
data file. It may also show up when the program goes to UPDATE THE
MASTER DATA FILE by locking up the program. This is not good,
Maverick! In case the program locks up, after rebooting, load
the file, MASTER.DAT, into your word processor and see what Question &
Answer was put in last: that Question and Answer (or the one preceding
or following) is most likely the culprit that was put in incorrectly.
You can pretty much tell what file that question and answer is in by the
subject matter of the questions around it.
-In the CONFIG.SYS file (located in the root directory), there must be
this statement: FILES=15 (Or a number greater than 15).
---------------------------------Page 34---------------------------------
***THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT***
KNOW YOUR VERSES is distributed as shareware.
Shareware is commercial software distributed in an unconventional
manner. Microcomputers copy information very easily. Instead of
trying to frustrate this through copy protection, shareware takes
advantage of it to reach as many users as possible at the lowest cost.
Anyone may copy a shareware program and distribute it to whomever they
desire, provided they do not charge a fee or alter it.
Shareware isn't free. Serious shareware is as polished as any
conventional commercial product, and represents just as much
programming effort. If you use it regularly, the authors expect
compensation.
However, unlike conventional distribution, shareware allows you
to evaluate the product before you decide to purchase it. The price
is often lower because there are no advertising, packaging,
---------------------------------Page 35---------------------------------
or distribution costs.
It can only work with your support. If you are still using a
shareware product after a few weeks, then it is obviously worth
something to you, so please register it.
I encourage you to freely copy and distribute the shareware version of
KNOW YOUR VERSES provided that:
1. Anyone distributing KNOW YOUR VERSES must charge less than
$10 per copy.
2. In all cases where a fee is charged by a distributor, it must be
clearly stated to the purchaser that he or she is receiving an
unregistered copy of a shareware product.
3. The program files must be distributed in their original form.
The unrestricted registered version may not be distributed.
---------------------------------Page 36---------------------------------
Any install diskettes created with the CREATE AN INSTALL DISKETTE
from the KYV program is considered to be in the original form and
therefore can be distributed.
If you received KNOW YOUR VERSES as shareware (i.e. you downloaded from
a bulletin board, you received it from a friend, it came with some
hardware you purchased, or you bought a disk from a shareware library),
and it is useful to you, please register it. For registering information,
from the program select PRODUCT INFO & ORDERING from the TESTING & MISC
menu.
---------------------------------Page 37---------------------------------
***REGISTRATION AND BENEFITS***
KNOW YOUR VERSES is being brought to you as `SHAREWARE'. It is not
free software, `FREEWARE', or `PUBLIC DOMAIN' software. Under the
shareware concept, you `demo' a program (try it out), and if you like
it, you register it. Registration benefits vary from program to
program. Registration of KNOW YOUR VERSES activates these benefits:
-Removal of the Registration Notice!
-Access to more than 15 Questions per Area!
-All Test-Maker features!
-Distribution Royalty of 25% of what a new DODDger Software
customer pays to register a program that you also have previously
registered, and reports your program's serial number!
-Know Your Verses for Windows for 75% Off!
-Know Your Verses for DOS upgrades for 50% off!
---------------------------------Page 38---------------------------------
-Satisfaction of supporting this product & free enterprise!
-Tech support by mail and, if operating, the DODDger Software BBS.
-Upon registering, you will receive a registration number to enter into
this program which will give you access to the features listed above.
-To register, select PRINT ORDER FORM from the Registration Notice screen
or from PRODUCT INFO & ORDERING screen in the TESTING & MISC menu.
(If you do not have a printer, select PRINT ORDER FROM TO DISK from
the PRODUCT INFO & ORDERING screen in the TESTING & MISC menu.
Then fill out the ORDERFRM.TXT file that is created on the disk and send
it in.)
***DISTRIBUTION ROYALTY***
As a gift of appreciation to registered DODDger Software customers and as
a means of motivation for distribution of the programs:
When a new DODDger Software customer registers a program and reports a
---------------------------------Page 39---------------------------------
serial number (should be on the order form) of a registered user, then
the registered user whose serial number was reported will receive
from DODDger Software a Distribution Royalty of 25% of what the new
DODDger Software customer paid to register that program.
For example:
When you register KYV, you receive a serial number that
is displayed on the ABOUT THIS PROGRAM screen. When you make
a copy of that program using the CREATE AN INSTALL DISKETTE
from the TESTING & MISC menu, then your serial number is put
into that unregistered copy and will be displayed in the ABOUT THIS
PROGRAM screen. When someone orders using the copy you created, then
your serial number is printed onto the order form. (This is why the
order form in not in an ASCII file, but rather must be printed to
a printer or disk to be filled out.) The serial number that shows up
on the order form tells DODDger Software who to send the Distribution
Royalty to.
---------------------------------Page 40---------------------------------
Another example: (KYS means Know Your Stuff)
Let's say you have registered KYS for DOS and KYV for DOS.
That means you have two serial numbers under your name in the DODDger
Software files. Now let's say someone registers KYS for DOS and KYV for
DOS and your KYV for DOS serial number is reported on the order form. You
will get paid 25% of what they paid to register both KYS for DOS and KYV
for DOS. Had you not previously registered KYS then you would only have
received 25% of what they paid to register KYV.
Another example:
Let's say you have registered KYS for DOS and KYV for DOS.
That means you have two serial numbers under your name in the DODDger
Software files. Now let's say someone registers KYS for DOS and your KYS
for DOS serial number is reported on the order form. You will get paid
25% of what they paid to register KYS for DOS. Now let's say at a later
date that same customer registers KYV for DOS. No one gets any
Distribution Royalty in this case because of two reasons: 1) They are no
---------------------------------Page 41---------------------------------
longer a NEW DODDger Software customer and 2) They will be reporting their
own serial number from their earlier registration of KYS for DOS.
Even if they fail to report their own serial number from a previously
registered program and even report someone else's, their name is still
in the DODDger Software files. And since they are not a NEW DODDger
Software customer, but rather a repeat customer, then no one gets any
Distribution Royalties. Remember the Distribution Royalty is for when a
NEW DODDger Software customer registers. This is because once a person
registers, he is now able to receive Distribution Royalties.
If you are a registered user then to make the most use of the Distribution
Royalty:
1) Select CREATE AN INSTALL DISKETTE from the TESTING & MISC
menu. (It will be an unregistered copy but have your serial
number in it.)
2) Make copies of that unregistered INSTALL DISKETTE you created
---------------------------------Page 42---------------------------------
and pass around to your friends, setup display stands, etc.
3) Compress the files on the unregistered INSTALL DISKETTE you
created into one file (using an archiving utility) and upload
it to as many BBSes as possible.
4) Whatever you can do to get an unregistered copy of the
program with your serial number in it into the hand of others
may benefit you.
NOTE: If you distribute unregistered copies of DODDger Software programs
for a fee, then see the policy above for distributing under THE
SHAREWARE CONCEPT.
RETAILERS, VENDORS, DISTRIBUTORS, ETC.:
If you desire to set up a display stand, please give me a call
and maybe we can work something out that may be financially
beneficial to you. (Like getting disks duplicated with your
serial number in them at wholesale cost, display stands, etc.)
---------------------------------Page 43---------------------------------
NOTE: Distribution Royalty may or may not apply to site licenses.
(Depends on each particular case and how site license is written.)

***ABOUT THE PROGRAMMER/AUTHOR:***
While writing this program for the last year, I have set in front of my
computer like a hermit wondering what has happened to my motivation to
ride dirt bikes, run, and be in shape. I think that motivation was
temporarily replaced with the desire to pass FAA check rides without the
need for last minute cram sessions. Henceforth, Know Your Aircraft, Know
Your Verses, and Know Your Stuff were developed.
