- RESTRICTED PERMISSION TO COPY/DISTRIBUTE:
- The SeedMaster programs, databases (*), documentation, and helps are not
- in the public domain. White Harvest Software, Inc., the copyright
- holder, allows the software and databases to be copied and distributed
- under the following conditions:
-
- 1. The KJV SeedMaster files may be copied and distributed to others for
- no cost, or for a nominal charge to cover duplication and diskette
- costs. Printed materials, such as the documentation manual, may not
- be copied or distributed without express, written permission from
- White Harvest Software, Inc.
- 2. The programs, databases, documentation, or helps may not be modified
- for any reason without express, written permission from White Harvest
- Software, Inc.
- 3. All diskette files are to be distributed together. For the SeedMaster
- for DOS program, these include:
- KJV.DAT INSTALL.EXE REGISTER.DOC
- VERSES.KJV DISTRIB.DOC HELP.1
- WORDS.KJV LHARC.EXE HELP.2
- WORDSNDX.KJV LHARC.DOC HELP.NDX
- SM.EXE GENINSTR.DOC CLEANCOM.EXE
- REG_FORM.DOC
- For the SeedMaster for Windows program, these include:
- KJV.DAT INSTALL.EXE VERSES.KJV
- DISTRIB.DOC WORDS.KJV LHARC.EXE
- WORDSNDX.KJV LHARC.DOC SMW.EXE
- CLEANCOM.EXE REG_FORM.DOC
- 4. The programs, databases, or documentation may not be sold as a part
- of a larger package.
- (*) The King James Bible is not copyrighted, but the database encryption
- and format is proprietary and may not be modified.
-
- NOTE: Only the KJV version of SeedMaster can be copied and given to
- others. Other Bible versions, specifically the NIV and any others that run
- under SeedMaster, are copyrighted works and MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED UNDER
- ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. These Bible databases are licensed for your exclusive
- use on one computer (see the license accompanying the non-KJV database for
- more information).
-
- THE INSTALL.EXE PROGRAM:
- The INSTALL.EXE program performs two tasks. It INSTALLS the SeedMaster
- for DOS and SeedMaster for Windows programs, as well as SeedMaster Bible
- Databases. It also lets you make copies of KJV SeedMaster.
-
- If you start INSTALL from a hard disk, it gives you options to MAKE a
- copy of KJV SeedMaster. If you start INSTALL from a floppy disk (the
- program is on disk number 1 and the Program/Update disk), it lets you
- INSTALL SeedMaster programs and databases.
-
- Type: INSTALL <Enter>
- and follow the instructions on the screen.
-
- Two SeedMaster files, VERSES.KJV and KJV.DAT are too large to fit on
- most diskettes. INSTALL breaks up these files on a MAKE and reconstructs
- them on an INSTALL.
-
- The broken up files on the floppies are made "read-only". The DOS command:
- ATTRIB -R A:*.* <Enter>
- should remove the "read-only" status so you can use the diskettes for
- other purposes.
-
- The sections that follow explain the general process that INSTALL uses
- for a MAKE and INSTALL, and describes potential errors and solutions.
-
- Note: It is almost impossible to prepare for all the possible errors
- someone could commit in using INSTALL. We have tried to trap the most
- common or obvious. If you encounter difficulties, we would suggest the
- following:
- 1. Read the technical notes section of this file.
- 2. Get the most PC-savvy person you can find and request their assistance.
- 3. Write us. Do your best to describe the problem, consider sending
- printouts of screens, directory listings of the diskettes, etc.:
- White Harvest Software, Inc. Dept: HELP!
- POB 97153, Raleigh, NC 27624-7153

-
- MAKING A COPY OF SEEDMASTER KJV:
- Set your default Drive\Directory to the hard disk Drive\Directory with
- SeedMaster. Type: INSTALL <Enter>
- To make a copy of the KJV, select option 4.
- INSTALL performs the following tasks:
- 1. Verifies required files exist.
- 2. Asks which floppy drive you wish to use.
- 3. Tells you how many EMPTY, FORMATTED diskettes you will need:
- 8 - 5.25" DSDD Diskettes (360K each) OR
- 3 - 5.25" High Capacity Diskettes (1.2 Meg each) OR
- 4 - 3.5" DSDD Diskettes (720K each) OR
- 2 - 3.5" High Capacity Diskettes (1.44 Meg each)
- 4. Compresses/Copies files to floppies.
-
- INSTALLING A COPY OF SEEDMASTER:
- Put diskette number 1 in the floppy drive, set the DOS "default" drive to
- the floppy drive, (for most people, this is done at a DOS prompt by
- typing: A: <Enter>) and type: INSTALL <Enter>
- Select option 1.
- INSTALL performs the following tasks:
- 1. Verifies the computer has a hard disk.
- 2. Gives you a chance to override the standard Drive\Directory name -
- C:\SM. We suggest that you NOT change the standard name. If you override
- it, note that INSTALL does NOT verify that you entered a non-floppy
- drive. DON'T do it, hard disk drives only, please.
- 3. Creates the directory. If it exists, you are warned that files
- might be overwritten.
- 4. Verifies that the hard disk has sufficient free space.
- 5. Copies\Uncompresses files to the specified directory.
-
- TECHNICAL NOTES:
- FILE LAYOUT:
- Files are copied to the disk in the following order:
- INSTALL.EXE
- DISTRIB.DOC
- LHARC.EXE
- KJV.LZH
- VERSES.KJV
- MISC.LZH
-
- COMPRESSED FILES
- The files KJV.LZH and MISC.LZH are not normal SeedMaster files. They are
- compressed files created by the LHARC.EXE program. KJV.LZH is the
- compressed version of KJV.DAT. MISC.LZH contains the following files:
- WORDS.KJV WORDSNDX.KJV
-
- Compression by LHARC
- LHARC is a program designed to compress files to their smallest possible
- size. Because LHARC is so efficient, it can take several minutes to
- compress or uncompress a large file such as KJV.DAT. The LHARC
- documentation manual, LHARC.MAN, has been included so you can use LHARC
- for other purposes.
-
- FILE BREAKUP PROCEDURE
- The files KJV.LZH and VERSES.KJV are too large to fit on most floppies.
- Therefore, INSTALL breaks up these files into chunks consisting of as
- many multiples of 30,000 bytes as will fit on each diskette. Each chunk
- retains its initial filename, and the file extension is numbered from
- .1 - as in VERSES.1. The last chunk created is given the proper file
- name - as in VERSES.KJV.
-
- FILE CONCATENATION PROCEDURE
- As the files are installed, INSTALL finishes a file when it fails to
- find the next sequential filename extension AND it finds the proper
- filename extension on the same disk.
-
- NOTE: It is unlikely, but possible that someone might put in a diskette
- out of order, AND that diskette have the proper extension. This will
- result in an abbreviated and inoperable file. VERSES.KJV should have
- a length of about 1.2 megabytes, and KJV.DAT should be about 2.3
- megabytes.
-
- INSTALLING THE HARD WAY
- If something goes wrong in the installation, it IS possible to install
- SeedMaster by hand.
-
- The Simple Files
- The following files can be simply copied into the SeedMaster directory
- of your hard disk:
- INSTALL.EXE
- DISTRIB.MAN
- LHARC.EXE
- MISC.LZH
-
- The Large Files, KJV.LZH and VERSES.KJV
- We will show a batch file, but you can issue the following commands
- manually to install each of the large SeedMaster files. We will use
- VERSES.KJV for our example.
-
- 1. Find out which broken files must be pieced together. We'll assume we
- found the following VERSES files:
- VERSES.1 VERSES.2 VERSES.3 VERSES.KJV
- 2. Construct your batch file after this pattern (in the SeedMaster
- directory of your hard disk):
- echo off
- echo Place VERSES.1 in drive A and
- pause
- copy a:VERSES.1/b VERSES.KJV/b
- echo Place VERSES.2 in drive A and
- pause
- copy VERSES.KJV/b+a:VERSES.2/b
- echo Place VERSES.3 in drive A and
- pause
- copy VERSES.KJV/b+a:VERSES.3/b
- echo Place VERSES.KJV in drive A and
- pause
- copy VERSES.KJV/b+a:VERSES.KJV/b
- echo All Done!
-
- Uncompressing KJV.LZH and MISC.LZH
- To uncompress the .LZH files, enter:
- LHARC e KJV.LZH
- LHARC e MISC.LZH
- You may then delete the LZH files.
-
- The emergency procedures outlined above are inefficient in terms of
- intermediate disk space usage. Any space lost will be regained after the
- system is completely installed, and the LZH files are deleted.
