- ONLINE BIBLE MASTERS
- ====================
-
- All the tools and data are supplied for you to create master disks
- for distributing the Online Bible.
-
- TOOLS
- =====
-
- COPYQM is a general purpose copy program used to quickly replicate disks.
- The program and documentation is located in the subdirectory
- \OLB\MASTERS\COPYQM. FORMATQM is a general purpose disk formatting
- program. The program and documentation is located in the subdirectory
- \OLB\MASTERS\FORMATQM. In general here is how we create 3 1/2 inch HD
- disks.
-
- a) We format all our disks when we receive them using FORMATQM.
-
- e.g. formatqm a:
-
- b) These disks are left to "age" for one month before we use them. We
- have found that the format process rejects .2 per cent of the disks.
- However, after one month about .4 per cent of the disks have lost
- their format! We were using only 75 per cent clip disks and still had
- the problem. This procedure almost eliminated bad disks.
-
- c) The COPYQM 3 1/2 HD masters are stored in the directory
- \OLB\MASTERS\IMAGES. To create copies on preformatted disks
- do the following. If your CD-ROM is drive letter Z then:
-
- copyqm a: p=z:\olb\masters\images\install.001 sm ret=0 o=x
-
- "a:" means that the copies are created on the A drive.
- "p=z:\olb\masters\images\install.001" means that copies of the
- install disk (part number 001) are to be copied.
- "sm" means that you are using preformatted disks.
- "ret=0" means that all retries are suppressed.
- "o=x" means that extended memory is used to hold the disks master
- during the coping process.
-
- See the COPYQM documentation to vary these options.
-
- Both COPYQM and FORMATQM are shareware programs. If you use them be sure
- to register with the author. They DO NOT accept phone calls for help
- from unregistered users. Note only version 3.x of COPYQM runs under OS/2.
-
- DISK IMAGES
- ===========
-
- The images for COPYQM for 3 1/2 inch HD disks are included in the
- directory \OLB\MASTERS\IMAGES. These are grouped by prefix in this
- directory. The suffix is our internal part number and also serves to
- organise each series.

- DISK IMAGES for the MAC Online Bible
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The COPYQM images for the SCHOLAR's PAK for 3 1/2 inch HD disks are
- included in the directory \OLB\MASTERS\MACIMAGES. Using COPYQM you can
- make 3 1/2 HD masters for MAC machines. These are grouped by prefix in
- this directory. The suffix is our serial number for multiple disks in the
- same series and serves to organise each series. Note that the LEXICON.002
- disks contains the files for TOPICS.003, TSK.003 and SCHOLAR.004. When
- installing on a MAC insert the LEXICON.002 disk to complete the TOPICS,
- TSK and the SCHOLAR series installation. This was done to reduce the
- number of disks required for distribution.
-
- The Mac masters are made up of two 720K archives on one 1440K disk.
- Use your Mac to recreate 720K masters from the 1440K disks.
-
- MAC Transfer Program
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The subdirectory \OLB\MASTERS\MACSEE contains an IBM PC program "MACSEE"
- that reads and writes MAC disks on an IBM PC.
-
- Source Files for Translations
- =============================
-
- These are stored as directories of files under the directory
- \OLB\MASTERS\TEXTS as DOS files. The following describes the directories.
-
- AV - A subdirectory containing the exact 1769 Authorised Version text
- in plain ASCII format in 66 files.
- DARBY - 1890 Darby translation in LHARC format
- YLT - 1898 Young's Literal Translation in LHARC format
-
- Others will be added in future releases. For example to expand YLT type
-
- lharc e ylt
-
- This creates 66 files in LHARC format which in turn must be expanded.
- LHARC.EXE is stored in the texts directory.
-
- Disk Labels
- ===========
-
- The file \OLB\MASTERS\LABELS.EXE contains a self extracting file of the
- labels we use for out disks. Not all the labels are valid since some of
- those versions are not for general distribution. Expand this file into
- the directory \AVERY\JOBS. We are using Avery Label Pro Version 1.61 to
- make our labels on an HP III laser printer. Use Avery form 5160 or
- equivalent for your labels. Order the Avery Label Pro program from:
-
- Avery Commercial Products Division
- 818 Oak Park Road
- Covina, CA
- 91724
- Tel: (818) 792-2102

- Source of Disks
- ===============
-
- We buy all our disks from "International Media Supplies Inc.". In US and
- Canada call (800) 835-5515 or (702) 826-4394 and ask for Kevin O'Donnell
- and mention that Larry Pierce referred you to him. Buy only unformatted 70
- per cent clip or better disks. These are much more reliable than what you
- see advertised in Computer Shopper by discount houses. They cost a few
- pennies more but your bad disk problems will be almost eliminated.
