History
What is it - the "LOSUNG"?
---------------------------
The "LOSUNG" (watch word) is a selection of two bible
verses per day, one from the Old, one from the New Testament. It has
been distributed in German language as a booklet since over 200 (!)
years. It is available in English, too. In the last years, the Losung
texts have been made available on disk. There are programs to display
these texts for DOS, Windows, OS/2 and more (see
http://www.evangelium.de/losung/).
OS2LOS98.ZIP contains
- the display program for OS/2 Presentation Manager
- the Losung texts in English and German language for 1998
- a (totally separate) Losung screen saver module for the Deskpic screen
saver (the latter is from John Ridges)
Installation
------------
OS2LOS98.ZIP contains two files:
README.1ST = you just read this file
OS2LOS98.EXE = installation program for OS/2 Presentation Manager
Simply start the installation program. Its features are:
- it lets you select the installation language, i.e. the language for the
program texts AND for the bible verses, either English or German.
- lets you specify a target directory to put all files in
- if desired, puts the display program into the startup folder (so the
Losung will be displayed when you start your computer)
Files after installation
------------------------
(this is from: README.TXT, see there!)
LOSUNG2.EXE = the program to display the Losung texts on the screen
LIESMICH.TXT = German version of README.TXT
README.TXT = more info about the program
UK_LOS98.TXT = the English text for 1998
UKOS2LOS.DAT = English message strings for LOSUNG2.EXE
LOSUNG12.ZIP = Losung as a deskpic screen saver
If you select the German language during the installation process, you
get the following files:
LOSUNG98.TXT = the German text for 1998
DEOS2LOS.DAT = German messages strings for LOSUNG2.EXE
Features of Losung/2
--------------------
- display the watch word (verse from Old and New Testament) of the current day
- copy these verses to the OS/2 clipboard
- switch day, month and year (spin buttons)
- display information about the history of the Losung, license stuff etc.
- change the location where the texts are searched
- still a surprise: "life story"
Screen saver
------------
LOSUNG12.ZIP contains one loadable screen saver module for use with
the popular Deskpic screen saver (author John Ridges, thanks!). You
need the Deskpic screen saver to use LOSUNG12.ZIP. LOSUNG12.ZIP
provides one loadable module for this screen saver. You will be able
to enter the directory where the Losung texts reside. When Deskpic
selects the Losung module (which can be forced by declaring it as
"single saver"), it will blank the screen and display the Losung text
of the current day in varying positions and colours. Look for
deskp132.zip in ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/os2/graphics or a related place (as
for 12/96).
Christ bless you!
