Online Bible Programme, Version II
2. Installation
The following describes how to get the programme
running on your computer.
2.1 Required Configuration
You need at least 256k machine, with a hard disk,
and monochrome or colour monitor. An XT, AT or compatible
system should work. You may use two 360K flex drives or one
720K 3.5" flex drive instead of a hard disk, to run the
version that contains only the New Testament. The demo
programme, only requires a single flex drive. If you are
using a colour monitor, there may be snow on the screen when
menus are refreshed. This will depend on the type of
graphics card you are using. This does not adversely effect
the programme. The programme will run in as little as 256K.
For best performance, use 640K. The index and token files
are loaded into memory to enhance performance. This
programme does not require a colour monitor to run.
A printer is required if hard copy output is needed.
This printer must support carriage return, line feed and
form feed. The form feed is used to position to the top of
the next page. The programme assumes you are using 8 1/2 by
11 inch paper, and are printing 6 lines to the inch. Sheet
feed printers are supported.
Any version of PCDOS (or MSDOS) from 2.11 onwards
should work. The programme was specifically tested on 2.11
and 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 versions. The programme was written
using Digital Research's PLI/86 compiler; the run time
library was modified to use "Handle I/O". No programming
tricks were used to exploit the characteristics of any
release of PCDOS. The programme does direct screen I/O for
performance reasons. Otherwise, it is quite simplistic.

Online Bible Programme, Version II
2.2 Updating CONFIG.SYS
** Note: This section on updating CONFIG.SYS is not
necessary for the demo or NT versions. For
the entire Bible version, your CONFIG.SYS will
be updated automatically if you use the INSTALL
procedure.
Before you proceed any farther, verify that your
CONFIG.SYS file on your boot disk specifies at least 30
files and 20 buffers. If you do not know how to do that, run
the batch file "FXCONFIG" located on the first diskette to
do this. It does the following for you.
1) If you do not have a CONFIG.SYS, it creates one for you
on your boot disk.
2) If you have a CONFIG.SYS, it verifies the "FILES=" and
"BUFFERS=" keywords to see if the number you specified
is large enough.
3) If your specifications are adequate, nothing is changed.
4) If this is not the case, the parameters are altered if
present, or added if not present.
5) Your CONFIG.SYS file is renamed to CONFIG.OLD and the
altered CONFIG.SYS replaces it. You must now reboot
your system.
To check and update your CONFIG.SYS on drive C use the
following command:
a:
fxconfig c
This file and program are only on the entire Bible version.
The rest of this documentation assumes you have done this
successfully.
ONE MORE THING; PUT WRITE PROTECT TABS ON YOUR
ORIGINAL DISKETTES AND MAKE A BACKUP COPY BEFORE YOU
PROCEED. NOT LATER, DO IT NOW!!
2.3 Gospel of John Demo Version
You should have one diskette labelled "001". Insert
the demo diskette in drive A and type the following.
- 5 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
a:
demo
Full documentation is in the READ.ME file. This
documentation is the same as for the full Bible search
programme so you get a better idea of the entire product.
Some of the examples may not apply for the Gospel of John.
2.4 Upgrading from Version I
The upgrade diskette is the same as the Demo
diskette. To upgrade to version II do the following:
a:
upgrade
The UPGRADE batch file has the following two parameters:
Parameter 1 = the source low density disk drive,
DEFAULTS to a
Parameter 2 = the target hard disk drive,
DEFAULTS to c
To upgrade the programme files on drive F, using floppy
drive B, issue the following command.
b:
upgrade b f
This will copy the files required to run Version II, using
the Version I text files. See the section on the KJV text,
for information on how to get the latest corrected text. We
strongly recommend that you get the new text because of the
numerous corrections we made in it. Also, the forth coming
Strong's number feature depends on the revised text, not the
original text from version one.
- 6 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
2.5 New Testament Version
You should have received three diskettes labelled
"001", "002", and "003". Insert the diskette "001" in drive
A and diskette "002" in drive B. Type the following:
a:
nt
When you are prompted to change diskettes, remove diskette
"001" from drive A and insert diskette "003" instead.
Display the text for Mat. 1:1. If your disk light for the A
drive does not come on, then you may safely remove the
diskette in the A drive and insert a blank one instead.
Full documentation is in the READ.ME file. This
documentation is the same as for the full Bible search
programme so some examples may not apply to this version.
The micro floppy version comes on two diskettes
labelled "001", and "002". Insert the diskette "001" in
drive A and type the following:
a:
nt
When you are prompted to change diskettes, remove diskette
"001" from drive A and insert diskette "002" instead.
To run this on a hard disk do the following steps.
1) create a subdirectory on the hard disk called "NT.KJV".
2) Copy the contents of all the diskettes to this directory.
3) Execute the programme from this directory using
the batch file, NTHD.
Always press ENTER to the startup message to change flex
diskettes, when running on a hard disk. The flex drives are
not used at all if you move everything to a hard disk. We
expect that if one has a hard disk they will be running the
full Bible version not the New Testament version. (Unless
you are Antinomian!)
- 7 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
2.6 Full Bible Version.
This version requires a hard disk to operate. The programme
and data files come on either:
- eight DSDD 5.25 inch 360K diskettes
labelled "001" to "008"
- eight DSDD 3.50 inch 720K micro floppydisks
labelled "001" to "008"
- four DSDD 3.50 inch 720K micro floppydisks
labelled "001" to "004"
Do the following to install the programme; insert the
installation diskette in Drive A and type
a:
install
The INSTALL batch file does the following,
1) Copies the installation diskette to a directory c:\bible.kjv.
2) Restores all the data files from the eight floppies
to this directory.
3) Verifies the CRC information of all the files that were copied
or recreated.
4) Updates your CONFIG.SYS.
The INSTALL batch file prompts you for the input it needs.
2.7 Problems
1) Program aborts on start up with "Undefined File(4)"
message even though Bible data files are present.
Update CONFIG.SYS to specify at least 30 files. If this was
done, the error may still occur due to one of the following
reasons.
a) There is an invalid entry in CONFIG.SYS. PCDOS stops
scanning as soon as it finds an invalid entry. Move
"FILES" and "BUFFERS" lines to the start of the file.
This will ensure they are parsed first before the error.
- 8 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
Correct the error in CONFIG.SYS and reboot.
b) There is a duplicate entry in CONFIG.SYS. PCDOS stops
scanning as soon as it finds a duplicate entry. Move
"FILES" and "BUFFERS" lines to the start of the file.
This will ensure they are parsed first before the error.
Delete the duplicate entry in CONFIG.SYS and reboot.
c) CONFIG.SYS was not updated on the boot disk. Make sure
you updated the CONFIG.SYS that is present on the boot
disk. Rerun the FXCONFIG batch file with the correct
disk drive letter.
2) Programme aborts on start up with "Undefined File(2)" or
"Undefined File(3)" message even though Bible data files are
present.
If you partition a hard disk into several 32 megabyte
partitions, it may not be desirable to install the programme
on the C drive. Suppose you installed the files on the D
drive in the directory "d:\bible.kjv". The installation
created a batch file "KJV" with the correct keyword
parameters. Use the batch file rather than the "BIBLE"
programme directly. Start the programme as follows.
kjv
3) Programme aborts on start up with "Undefined File(8)"
message.
This indicates that there was insufficient memory to
allocate a file buffer. This should be an extremely rare
case and will depend exactly on how your memory is layed
out. If you have more than 384K of memory you should never
see this error. Since the programme preloads files depending
on the available memory, you can tell the programme to use
less memory by using the "MEM=" keyword as follows.
kjv mem=10
This instructs the programme to leave 10K of memory free on
startup. This will increase the amount of available memory
by not preloading a file. Fiddle with the amount until it
works. Of the many users of version one, we had only one
report of this problem. Version two has increased the
- 9 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
reserve memory requirements so this problem should never be
seen.
4) Programme does not work on a 256K machine.
The programme was tested on a 256K machine using 3.3 PCDOS
and worked fine. Do a CHKDSK to find out the available
memory for a programme. You should have at least 150K
available to run. If not eliminate extra drivers and
"terminate and stay" resident programmes. You may have to
reduce the BUFFERS= number in the CONFIG.SYS. Note that
versions 3.x require considerably more memory than the 2.x
versions of PCDOS. Try running a 2.x version to get more
memory. If this still does not work, go buy some more
memory. It is cheap!
5) The programme displays the wrong text or aborts with an
"ENDFILE" message when searching for words or phrases.
You are running the original version on the version two text
files. Your copy was not updated during the installation
process because you did not specify the correct directory to
use to replace the old "BIBLE.EXE" file. Scratch the old
programme.
6) Other programmes are unable to read output files produced
by version two, but were able to read version one files
correctly.
Version two no longer generates a "Control Z" at the end of
its files. This facilitates appending data to the file. If
your programme requires a "Control Z", add it with the PCDOS
COPY command. To add this to file "Myfile.dat" to create
"Newfile.dat" issue the following command.
copy myfile.dat newfile.dat/a
7) The CRC's do not match.
Determine which diskette has an incorrect CRC and reorder
from the place where you got it. Use the FV.COM programme on
the installation diskette to check each individual diskette.
Run "FV" on each diskette as follows.
fv a:*.*
- 10 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
Ignore any files that are flagged as not marked if they were
supplied by the distributor. These should be obvious from
their contents. The utility "FV" is found on the first
diskette in the series. Reorder replacement diskettes for
each diskette that is corrupted from your dealer.
8) During the verification process, several files are
displayed as being unmarked. If these files were added by
the distributor, do not worry. Otherwise, check with
distributor to see if he has altered the time stamp on any
of the files. The time stamp is used to contain the file CRC
for verification purposes. Valid CRC time fields contain
time values greater than 24 hours.
9) When searching for words, they are not in bold when
displayed on the screen.
Adjust your monitor so bold text is clearly visible from
text in normal mode.

3. Notes on KJV Text
In this version, the KJV text has been diligently
checked and over 1000 changes were made. No change was too
small. Even a period for a comma was corrected. About 900 of
the changes were spelling variations. The remaining changes
were punctuation corrections. Not one of the original errors
altered the meaning of the text. The original text we
started with had eight missing verses in Isaiah chapter 2.
What is amazing is not one person complained or even
noticed! We have spared no effort to make this KJV text the
most accurate text available and should correspond almost
exactly with the standard KJV Bible in use today. If it does
not, check several other KJV Bibles by different publishers.
You will probably find they also do not agree on the verse
in question. There may still be some remaining errors in
this text. Please report to us any you find.
The following are intentional deviations from the
standard KJV text.
1) Proper names are not hyphenated. This was done to
simplify searching for names. Also there is tremendous
variation between various Bibles on proper name
hyphenation.
2) The following three words are incorrectly capitalised,
Eleloheisrael, Meribahkadesh, and Aenas. They should be
EleloheIsrael, MeribahKadesh, and AEnas. We decided not
to support imbedded capital letters in names to simplify
searching.
3) The paragraph markers used are not from the standard KJV
Bible. That is because we were unable to find a KJV Bible
that was not copyrighted, that had all the text marked in
paragraphs. All the ones we saw had the markers
mysteriously evapourate after Acts 20. Instead we used
the text divisions found in Matthew Henry's Commentary.
This has the advantage of allowing you to relate any
portion of text to a readily available and widely
acclaimed commentary. Paragraph markers are indicated by
a "." after the verse number.
- 12 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
For those of you who have the original version one
text, if you send us your diskettes, we will update your
entire diskette set to version two. Version two text is
required for the future Greek and Hebrew support. If you can
afford to send us something for our copying and mailing
cost, we would appreciate it.

4.1 Search Facilities
To search for words or phrases, select the "Search"
window using the right or left arrow keys. This window
displays three options.
Search for Phrase(s)
Search for Word(s)
Search Range Limits
Using these options, you can search for any word or phrase
or any combination of words or phrases you can think of.
4.1.1 Basic Searching Methods
You will most often be searching for a single word.
Select the word search option and press ENTER. A new window
will appear asking you to enter your word. Try searching for
the word "mercy". The lower right hand corner of the SCAN
window should display two things; first, the position of the
current verse displayed in the search list, and second, the
total number of verses in the search. The word "mercy",
occurs in 261 verses in the complete Bible.
- 16 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
The following keys may be used to manipulate the SCAN
window.
UP Arrow - Scroll window to look at previous
verse in context.
DOWN Arrow - Scroll window to look at next verse
in context.
ENTER - Display next verse in list.
RIGHT Arrow - Display next verse in list.
LEFT Arrow - Display previous verse in list.
CONTROL H - Display previous verse in list.
DEL - Delete selected verse from list
and display next verse in list.
F1 - Help Information
F2 - Save verse in Verse List file
F3 - Prompt for a text to display in
lower window.
Tab - Move to Lower Window
(Tab to get back to upper window)
SHIFT TAB - Copy upper window to lower window for reference.
ESC - Press ESC key to return to main menu.
Try searching for the word "truth"; it occurs in 222 verses
in the complete Bible.
Now suppose you want to search for the phrase,
"mercy and truth". Position to the phrase search option,
select it, and enter the phrase. Watch the numbers closely
in the lower right hand corner of the window. Initially
"1 / 20" displays. As you keep looking, any verse that does
not contain this phrase is eliminated from the list, and the
final display is "1 / 10". This means that only ten verses
contain this phrase in the complete Bible. You can use the
same keys to manipulate this list as you did with the
previous list.
With one exception, it does not matter whether you
captialise any letters in your search words. The exception
is the word "LORD" which is found only in the Old Testament.
Most Bibles translate the Hebrew word for Jehovah as "LORD"
and the Hebrew word "Adonai" as Lord. We preserve this
distinction, because it is very useful in searching for
various compound names of God in the Old Testament. The
following table shows all the simple and compound names for
God that are used in the Old Testament.
- 17 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
English Name Hebrew Transliteration Example
God El, Elah, or Elohim Gen. 1:1
LORD YHWH (Jehovah) Gen. 2:4
Lord Adon, or Adonai Gen. 15:2
JAH, LORD YH (contraction of YHWH) Ps. 68:4, 150:6
Almighty God El Shaddai Gen 17:1
Most High or El Elyon Gen 14:18
Most High God
Everlasting God El Omam Gen 21:33
Mighty God El Gibbor Isa. 9:6-7
LORD God YHWH (Jehovah) Elohim Gen. 2:4
Lord GOD Adonai YHWH (Jehovah) Gen. 15:2
LORD of Hosts YHWH (Jehovah) Sabaoth 1 Sam. 1:3
LORD JEHOVAH YHWH (Jehovah) YH Is 12:2, 26:4
The Scofield Reference Bible has a good description of the
meanings and use of most of these names at the references
given in the above example. A summary reference is given
after Mal. 3.
4.1.2 Advanced Searching Techniques
You can search for much more than simple words or
phrases. Four operators can be used to connect words or
phrases together to create more complex searches.
1) The OR operator is the graphic symbol "|" on the
keyboard. Use this operator to connect words or phrases
together. To search for all verses that contain "mercy"
or "truth", select the word search option and enter
"mercy | truth" (without the quotes of course). 461
verses contain either the word "mercy" or "truth" or both
words.
2) The AND operator is the graphic symbol "&" on the
keyboard. Use this operator to connect words or phrases
together. To search for all verses that contain "mercy"
and "truth", select the word search option and enter
"mercy & truth" (without the quotes of course). 22 verses
contain both the words "mercy" and "truth".
- 18 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
3) The AND NOT operator is the graphic symbol "~" on the
keyboard. Use this operator to connect words or phrases
together. To search for all verses that contain "mercy"
and not "truth", select the word search option and enter
"mercy ~ truth" (without the quotes of course). 240
verses contain both the words "mercy" and not the word
"truth". Try "truth ~ mercy". You should find 200 verses
this time.
This operator is most useful in eliminating unwanted
verses from a search list. Suppose you want to search for
all words in the Bible relating to a moth. You use the
string "moth*" to find all occurrences. Unfortunately,
you also get all verses containing "mother". Use the AND
NOT operator to eliminate these verses. Use the search
string "moth* ~ mother*". Now you find just eleven
verses, and they all relate to a moth. This operator may
be used repeatedly, to winnow a list. To find all verses
that just contain the word "God" in the Old Testament use
the following phrase search string.
God ~ Almighty God ~ Most High ~ Everlasting God ~ Mighty God
~ LORD God ~ Lord GOD
The above search string is too long to show on one line
in this documentation, however it is entered as one line.
You may enter search strings up to 240 characters in
length. This search request will take a few seconds to
execute but illustrates the searching power you have.
4) The PROXIMITY operator is the graphic symbol "@n" on the
keyboard, where "n" is a number between zero and 31102.
This allows you to select words or phrases if they are
within a certain number of verses of each other. To
search for all verses that contain either "mercy" or
"truth" within one or less verses of each other select
the word search option and enter "mercy @1 truth"
(without the quotes of course). You will find 37 verses
that satisfy the criteria. The following table summarises
the results of using various ranges.
Search Option Number of Verses Found
mercy @0 truth 22 (Same as AND operator)
mercy @1 truth 37
- 19 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
mercy @2 truth 48
mercy @3 truth 56
mercy @4 truth 64
mercy @31102 truth 461 (Same as OR operator)
As you can see the PROXIMITY operator is like a weakened
AND or OR operator, in that the number of verses found
varies between the two extremes of AND and OR operator.
5) The PREFIX modifier which is represented on the keyboard
with the "*" symbol. Affixing this modifier to the end of
a prefix, causes any word that matches that prefix to be
selected. Suppose you were doing a study on divorce and
wanted to find all references to "divorce" or "putting
away". Select the phrase search and entry this, "divorc*
| put* away". You should find 63 verses that satisfy this
search criteria. As you search through them you can
discard unwanted verses in the list by pressing the "DEL"
key. I had 24 verses in my list when I was finished. You
may have a different number depending on your criteria
for verse selection. This modifier is really handy in
getting around the various spellings of words.
6) The NULL operator is indicated by the absence of the "&",
"|', "~', or "@" operators between adjacent words. This
operator works like a high priority AND operator. If you
are searching for phrases, this operator indicates that
the words must be in the verse and adjacent to one
another. If you are searching for words, then this
operator indicates that the words must be present in the
verse but not necessarily adjacent. Consider the
following word search string:
God love* | Jesus Lord
It will find any verse containing the words "God" and any
word starting with "love" or the words "Jesus" and
"Lord". You should find 260 verses.
You can use these operators more than once in a
line. Your final search line will scroll to the left if it
does not fit entirely on the screen. The maximum size search
line is 240 characters. If several operators are used, they
are evaluated from left to right. The "&", "|", "~" and "@"
are equal in priority and are of lower priority than the
- 20 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
PREFIX or NULL operator. The PREFIX operator is always
evaluated first followed by the NULL operator, then the rest
of the logical operators. Brackets can not be used to change
the order of evaluation. In practice, this will not be much
of a restriction.
4.1.3 Setting Search Ranges
Often times you want to search just a portion of the
Bible and automatically eliminate verses outside this range.
Use the "Search Range Limits", to limit the search. Consider
the following examples. Enter the strings without the
quotes!
1) To search a single verse
e.g. "Jo 3:16" will search John 3:16
2) To search just a single chapter
e.g. "Ps 90" will search the 90th Psalm
3) To search a single book
e.g. "Jude" will search the book of Jude
4) To search from one book to another
e.g. "1Jo - 3jo" will search from 1 John to
the end of 3 John
5) To search a range of chapters
e.g. "john 21 - acts 2" will search from John 21 to
the end of Acts 2
"Ps 1 - 5" will search the first five Psalms
6) To search between two references
e.g. "ex 1:1 - 1:10" will search
between Ex 1:1 and 1:10
"ex 1:1 - Ruth 1:10" will search
between Ex 1:1 and Ruth 1:10
7) To search the entire Bible, enter "bible".
8) To search the New Testament, enter "nt".
9) To search the Old Testament, enter "ot".
Book name abbreviations may be used. Usually the first three
characters uniquely identify most books except for "Jude"
enter "J" and "Philippians" enter "Php". See Appendix A for
a list of all the abbreviations and book names used for this
version.

4.2 Display Facilities
To display verses or a text, select the "Display"
window using the right or left arrow keys. This window
displays two options.
Display Verses
Display Text
Using these options, you can display verses or a text.
4.2.1 Display Verses
This option allows you to review verses you selected
using the "Search" option. Also you may review verses that
you retrieved using the "Get Verse List" option. The lower
right hand corner of the screen displays where you are in
your list relative to the end of the list. Exactly the same
keys you used when searching for verses may be used here.
These are as follows.
UP Arrow - Scroll window to look at previous
verse in context.
DOWN Arrow - Scroll window to look at next verse
in context.
ENTER - Display next verse in list.
RIGHT Arrow - Display next verse in list.
LEFT Arrow - Display previous verse in list.
CONTROL H - Display previous verse in list.
DEL - Delete selected verse from list
and display next verse in list.
F1 - Help Information
F2 - Save verse in Verse List file
F3 - Prompt for a text to display in
lower window.
Tab - Move to Lower Window
(Tab to get back to upper window)
SHIFT TAB - Copy upper window to lower window for reference.
ESC - Press ESC key to return to main menu.
If you were displaying a list of verses and stopped to use
some other option, when you return to continue displaying
- 22 - Feb. 27, 1989

verses, you will pick up just where you left off in the
list.
4.2.2 Display Text
To examine any text use this option to display the
desired text in the lower window. You will be prompted for
the reference. Type in the reference as you normally would.
Use the following keys to manipulate the text in the lower
window.
UP Arrow - Scroll window to look at previous
verse in context.
DOWN Arrow - Scroll window to look at next verse
in context.
ENTER - Return to upper window
TAB - Return to upper window
F1 - Help Information

or a text window.
- 23 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
4.3 Print Facilities
The "Print" window displays the following two
options for you to chose.
Print Verses
Print Text
This allows you to print any verses or a text. The verses
may be selected as a result of a search query or via the
"Get Verse List" facility. The output may be neatly
formatted for immediate use, or may be unformatted so you
may reprocess the text with a word processor. If you are
going to print directly onto a printer make sure it is set
for six lines per inch and is positioned to start printing
at the beginning of a page. Also make sure it is turned on
and ready to print. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to move
between the various options.
4.3.1 Print Verses
This option presents you with a window containing
six options that will be used to control the printing of the
verses. These are now described.
The first is the "format" setting. If you wish to
process the output with a word processor, you most likely do
not want formatted output. That is, you do not want page
breaks and titles and other formatting information. Use the
left or right arrow keys to toggle this setting between
"Yes" and "No". If you specify unformatted output, each
verse will be a single text line that ends with a carriage
return, linefeed sequence. Most word processors treat such
text as a single paragraph and allow you to adjust the left
and right margins to suit your document. If you try and
print this file directly, you will end up with a mess! It
must be reformatted by your word processor to be useful.
However, if you are satisfied with the default output
format, specify "Yes" to this setting. The results will be
readily printable on almost all printers.
If you wish to feed your paper into your print, one
- 24 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
sheet at a time, specify "Yes" to the "Sheet Feed" setting.
Use the left or right arrow keys to toggle this setting
between "Yes" and "No". If you specify unformatted output,
this setting is ignored.
The "Double Space" setting allows you to print a
blank line between each line of text. For a detailed text
study, this gives you room to make notes on the page. To
print a blank line, specify "Yes" to this setting. Use the
left or right arrow keys to toggle this setting between
"Yes" and "No". If you specify unformatted output, this
setting is ignored.
The "Title" query allows you to specify up to a
fifty character title to be printed at the top of each page.
If you specify unformatted output, the title is not printed.
The "Print File Name" query, prompts you for the
PCDOS file name to be used to store the output. The default
is the "PRN" device which is normally your printer. However,
this reply may be any valid PCDOS path name, or device not
just a simple file name.
4.3.2 Print Text
This option is very similar to the previous one. In
addition to all the options already discussed, there is one
obvious additional one, a query for "Print Verse Range".
Specify the upper and lower ranges separated by a "-".
Consider the following sample ranges.
- 25 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
1) To print a single verse
e.g. "Jo 3:16" will print John 3:16
2) To print just a single chapter
e.g. "Ps 90" will print the 90th Psalm
3) To print a single book
e.g. "Jude" will print the book of Jude
4) To print from one book to another
e.g. "1Jo - 3jo" will print from 1 John to
the end of 3 John
5) To print a range of chapters
e.g. "john 21 - acts 2" will print from John 21 to
the end of Acts 2
"Ps 1 - 5" will print the first five Psalms
6) To print between two references
e.g. "ex 1:1 - 1:10" will print
between Ex 1:1 and 1:10
"ex 1:1 - Ruth 1:10" will print
between Ex 1:1 and Ruth 1:10
If you are doing a lot of work in several books, and
wish to use texts from these books in a word processor, dump
these texts out in advance. You may want to place all the
Pauline Epistles in one directory, the gospels in another,
and so forth. If this is done, it is not necessary to leave
your word processor to get a text. You just fetch it like
any other file, remove the portions you do not need, and
incorporate the rest into your document. This saves you time
so that you do not have to bounce between your text
processor and the Bible programme.
Two debugging features are included in this option.
You may find them of interest. To dump all the unique tokens
for the text, use a title of "/tokens". All the tokens will
be written to the file name you specify. To dump all the
text in the original input format to this programme, specify
a title of "/books" and a range of books to be dumped. A
file for each book will be written to the current directory.
You probably want to create an empty directory to hold the
output from this option. Either do this before you enter the
programme or use the "PCDOS Gateway" to set up a directory
from the programme. To dump the whole Bible specify a range
of "gen - rev". This will take at least half an hour. We use
this option to verify the encoded Bible text matches the
- 26 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
original Bible text we started with.
4.3.3 Printing
Press ENTER on any of the "Yes" / "No" settings, to
complete the selections and start the printing. If you are
printing directly to your printer, make sure it is ready and
all setup before you press ENTER. The lower right hand
corner of the upper window displays how many verses are
processed and the total number to process. Press ESCAPE at
anytime to prematurely terminate the printing.
- 27 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
4.4 The Verse List
The Verse List allows you to select, save and recall
lists of verses according to your own criteria. The
following illustrate some uses of the Verse List facility.
1) You are scanning through a list of verses and wish to
save not only the selected verses, but also some of the
context for each verse.
2) You are preparing a Bible Study and wish to print all the
verses you will be referring to in the study. This
prevents you from losing your train of thought if these
verses had to be looked up individually when they were
needed.
3) You are preparing a study and come across some
interesting verses while examining something completely
unrelated. You wish to save those verses for a future
study, but do not want to stop looking at your selected
verses.
The Verse List facility makes all of these tasks very easy.
Lets explain how to use it.
The name of the Verse List file is VERSES.LST unless
you change it. Whatever name you change it to becomes the
name of the new Verse List file, until you change it again.
Function key F2 is used to add verses to a Verse List. This
key only works when you are displaying verses in the upper
or lower windows. The verse reference that is displayed at
the top of your window is the one that is added to the Verse
List. Each time you use an existing Verse List file, you
will be prompted to append to the file. If you do not wish
to append to the file, but replace the data, reply "no". Use
the left or right arrow keys to change the setting. Note:
the previous Verse List data in the file will be lost. By
scrolling the window up or down, you can use F2 to save the
context for the verse. Likewise you may select a particular
text and add any verses you wish to your Verse List file by
scrolling the lower window and pressing F2 to select the
verses you wish. Look for the file VERSES.LST in the current
directory, for your Verse List references.
- 28 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
Another way to build a Verse List, is to select a
group of verses. Use the Phrase or Word search to construct
your list. Use the "Save to Verse List" option in the Verse
List window to save your list. As before, if you specify an
existing file, you will be prompted to append to it. If you
do not append to it, the new Verse List data replaces the
contents of the Verse List file.
Finally, the third way to build a Verse List, is to
use your text editor, and construct a list of verses
yourself. Suppose you wanted the following five verses in
your list.
1 Peter 5:6, John 1:1, John 1:2, John 1:3, Matthew 20:10
Your file would look like this
1Pe 5:6
jo 1:1-1:3
Ma 20:10
You use exactly the same abbreviations you would normally
use with this programme. Note how you can shorten your list
if you have a range of verses by using a "-". The formats
permitted for the range are exactly the same as used when
setting a range of verses to print. The list is completely
free format, nothing has to be in fixed columns. However,
only one reference per line. You should create this list as
a data file using your word processor. Do not create it as a
text file, as only your word processor will understand how
to interpret the file. Most word processors have a
"non-document" mode that allows you to create simple files.
If you have any doubts about the format of your file, use
the PCDOS "Type" command to display the file contents on
your screen. If it does not look the way you typed it, go
back to your word processor manual and learn about how to
correctly use its "non-document" mode.
You may wish to sort a Verse List file. Use the "Get
Verse List" option to retrieve the Verse List. Select the
"Sort Verse List" option to sort and eliminate any duplicate
references. Finally select the "Save Verse List" option to
replace your old Verse List file.
Suppose you wish to review the verses in your Verse
- 29 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
List. Use the "Get Verse List" option to retrieve your Verse
List file. The Verse List may now be reviewed using the
"Display Verses" option in the Display window. In the
"Display Verses" option you can delete unwanted verses and
then save the new list by going back to the "Verse List"
window and selecting the "Save Verse List".
- 30 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
4.5 Utilities
Several miscellaneous utility functions are
displayed under this window, a PCDOS Gateway, and a Screen
option.
4.5.1 PCDOS Gateway
Rather than provide a potpourri of PCDOS commands,
this option allows you to enter PCDOS and do any PCDOS
command you like, providing you have enough memory, of
course. This programme will normally consume up to 400k of
memory, so what is left after PCDOS takes its share is
available to you. To return to the programme, type "EXIT".
If you have difficulties getting this command to
work properly, here are some things to look for. If you are
running an earlier version of PCDOS than 3.00, then invoking
the command processor will randomly clobber four bytes of
memory. What was hit would depend on your exact hardware and
software configuration. If the command works, great! If this
command does not work, consider upgrading to a 3.xx version
of PCDOS. (Do not call us!) For those using a 3.xx version
PCDOS, you may still have troubles if you are using the
"Append" command or some similar third party equivalent.
This command allows you to find data files that are not in
the current directory. We have seen systems lock up solid as
soon as the command processor is invoked. Personally, we
avoid all such programmes. Try removing or simplifying the
data search path to see if the problem goes away. On a
vanilla PCDOS system the command processor works fine.
(Again, do not call us!)
To increase the amount of available memory for
executing commands using this option, see the section that
describes PCDOS invocation parameters. Refer to the "MEMORY"
keyword.
- 31 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
4.5.2 Screen Options
Sometimes it is desirable to vary the size of the
upper window. Specify a number between 6 and 18 for most
screens for the size of the upper window. The upper window
will expand and the lower window will shrink accordingly. If
you have a screen control card that allows more than a 25
line display, you may increase the size of the upper window
even more. See the section that describes PCDOS invocation
parameters for the details. Refer to the "ROWS" and
"COLUMNS" keywords.
4.6 Quit
Select this option and press ENTER and you are back
to PCDOS. What more can we say?
- 32 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
5. Startup Parameters
When the programme is invoked from the PCDOS command
line, several keyword parameters may be used to control the
functions of the programme. These keywords are:
Directory (D) - Directory containing Bible files
Memory (M) - Determine available free memory
Ramdisk (R) - Specify location of files on Ram Disk
Rows (Ro) - Specify number of rows on CRT
Colours (C) - Specify foreground and background colours
Columns (Colu) - Specify number of columns on CRT
The keywords are not case sensitive, and they may be
abbreviated to the first two or three characters. The
shortest possible abreviation for each keyword is placed in
brackets in the above list after each keyword.
5.1 Directory (D)
This option is used to support other versions and
translations and should not be changed unless the
installation directions explicitly direct you to do so. This
keyword parameter must be specified correctly and should be
the first parameter in the command line. If not, how can the
programme find its message file to tell you what mistakes
you made? Suppose the files for the NIV version are stored
in "c:\bible.niv". Use the following command line to start
the programme:
bible dir=c:\bible.niv
If you use this keyword when not directed to do so, you are
on you own.
5.2 Memory Keyword (M)
To use the PCDOS Gateway option, you must have a
certain amount of memory, usually 100k. By default the
programme preloads into memory, as many search files as it
- 33 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
can, hence it tends to hog memory. To curb its appetite,
specify the number of K of free memory you need. To specify
100k:
kjv mem=100
If you specify too large an amount, the programme will abort
during startup. Note that the programme searches more slowly
if there is insufficient memory to load in its index files.
5.3 Ramdisk (R)
If you must specify the "memory" option, but find
the resulting performance unacceptable, you may place some
of the Bible files on a ramdisk. Use this keyword to tell
the programme where to look for these files. If a file is
found on the ramdisk, it is not preloaded into memory, even
if there is ample room. This is another way of reducing the
amount of memory required by the programme without
sacrificing performance. The files "MESSAGES.TXT",
"TEXTNDX.DAT" and "XREFNDX.DAT" are good candidates for a
ramdisk. For best performance always place "MESSAGES.TXT" on
a ramdisk. If you have enough space, try "TEXT.DAT" as well.
We do not recommend placing "TOKENS.DAT" on the ramdisk.
This file should always be loaded into memory otherwise the
screen displays will be jerky. To specify the "D" drive as
your ramdisk do the following:
kjv ram=d:
5.4 Rows and Columns (R and Colu)
To handle different size screens, specify the screen
dimensions using the "rows" and "columns" keywords. Make
sure your screen is setup in advance to reflect your
specifications, otherwise, the programme display will be
most unusual. Suppose you have set your EGA monitor to 43
line mode. Indicate this to the programme as follows:
kjv rows=43
- 34 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
Some monitor control cards, like the ATI card, allow you to
specify 44 lines of 132 characters wide. Indicate this to
the programme as follows:
kjv rows=44, columns=132
Unless you have good eyes or a large monitor, the programme
displays will be quite hard to read.
When you specify the rows or columns, the programme
automatically resizes all displays so that on the larger
display, everything is still in proportion. If you specify
more than 25 rows, you can use the "Screen Option" window to
resize the upper and lower window. The minimum size for a
window is six lines.
The following technical details may be helpful. If
you are using a colour monitor, the text is assumed to start
at segment "B800", and "B000" for monochrome monitors. We
assume that the text is mapped consecutively into memory for
each line. That is there is no gap between consecutive
screen lines. We know of no exceptions to this, however
somewhere someone will have an odd ball display controller.
That we are certain of. If that is the case for you, write
us, and we will try do assist you.
5.5 Setting Colours (C)
If you have a colour monitor, you can set the
background and foreground colours using the ANSI.SYS driver
that is supplied with PCDOS. Unfortunately, the ANSI.SYS
driver does not handle colours correctly for displays with
more than 25 rows or 80 columns. We recommend you use the
colour keyword to set the foreground and background colours
during the use of this programme as follows.
kjv colours=30
This specifies a yellow foreground and a black background.
The first digit specifies the foreground colour, and the
second digit the background colour. The following table
describes the colours associated with each digit.
- 35 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
0 - Black 4 - Blue
1 - Red 5 - Magenta
2 - Green 6 - Cyan
3 - Yellow 7 - White
This keyword is ignored for monochrome graphics cards. If
you are running your EGA or VGA colour monitor in more than
25 line mode, use this option to set all the colours
correctly. The ANSI.SYS does not support colours properly on
screens larger than 25 lines.

6. Future Plans
This version represents the basis for our future
translations. We do not foresee much change in the user
interface or the need for increased functionality. We are
planning the following projects:
1) NIV Version. We have already setup the NIV text to run
with this version but legal formalities must be taken
care of first. At this time we do not know what is
required. A royalty may be required, in which case we
could not make everything as freeware like we have with
the KJV. We expect the legal requirements to be satisfied
in a few months.
Be sure to Contact Majestic Software for more
information on the NIV and it's availability
in the USA.
2) KJV II, by Jay Green. Mr Green has made an extremely
accurate translation from the original Greek and Hebrew
and has graciously offered to make it available to us
without royalities. For those who want an accuarte modern
language translation this is it. We consider it equal or
superior to the NKJV. This should be available by the end
of this year.
3) Foreign translations. We are following up on leads for
the Spanish, German and French translations. If everyone
cooperates, we should have these available sometime in
1990, if not before.
4) Strong's numbers. We have completed the numbering for the
New Testament for the KJV version. Currently we are
writing a companion Greek Lexicon to go with it. Most
programmes that offer a lexicon usually use Strong's
Lexicon. Ours is based on Thayer's Lexicon and is much
more detailed. Also it will be distributed in text format
so you can readily add to it. Hopefully you will share
your word study findings with us so we can make them
generally available to all. The lexicon should be
available by June 1 of this year.
We plan to do the Old Testament but most likely will
not get started until the fall of this year. (We are
taking the summer off!) We plan to use the Brown Driver
Briggs Gesenius Lexicon. We expect that project to take
about at least 18 months.
- 37 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
5) When there is sufficient demand, we will port the
programme to run under OS/2. We do not see that happening
until 1991 or later.
"Queen Victoria was dead and the date for the
coronation of her eldest son was set for April 1902. In all
the announcements which had been sent out, two little
letters were omitted -- D.V. -- Deo Volente: God willing.
Plans were made and all the arrangements completed for the
most imposing celebrations that England had ever witnessed.
Kings and emperors from all parts of the earth had received
invitations to attend the royal ceremony. The Prince's
proclamations were printed and displayed, but, so far as the
writer is aware, the letters D.V. were not found on a single
one of them. A most imposing programme had been arranged,
and the late Queen's eldest son was to be crowned Edward the
Seventh at Westminister Abbey at a certain hour on a fixed
day. And then God intervened, and all man's plans were
frustrated. A still small voice was heard to say, 'You have
reckoned without Me,' and Prince Edward was stricken down
with appendicitis, and his coronation postponed for months!"
(pg. 185, Sovereignty of God, A.W. Pink) Lest we be guilty
of the same, all of these plans are conditional on the One
who gives us strength. If you have any questions on any of
these plans, do not hesitate to write us.

7. Summary
That raps it up for version two. We are confident
you have the world's fastest most powerful Bible search
programme with the most accurate text. Use it to the glory
of God.
A special thanks to my wife, Marion, who was almost
widowed by this project. Also, thanks to John Van Bruwaene
who did much programme testing for me and made many helpful
suggestions. Thank you to all those who wrote me. I was
greatly encouraged by your positive comments and
suggestions.

APPENDEX B Software Distribution
If you wish to distribute the software, several
extra files are included on the installation diskette to
assist you. Issue the following command to extract these
files from the archive, "Software.Arc":
a:pkxarc a:software.arc
The archive contains the following three files:
COPYQM.COM
COPYQM.DOC
LABELS.DOC
These files are not archived on the New Testament and demo
versions. The programme COPYQM is used to copy diskette. It
will format, copy and verify the contents of a master
diskette to another diskette in about 45 seconds. This is
the next best thing to a hardware diskette copier. Note that
this programme is not freeware and the author would like $15
for its use. If you use it, send the author his due. We have
written permission from the author to distribute his
programme in the unmodified format. If he finds that our
users are abusing his rights, he may not allow us to include
COPYQM with this package.
A text file containing the data for the diskette
labels is also included. Setup your labels in your printer
and copy this file to the printer, once for each copy of the
diskettes you wish to make. For example:
copy labels.dat prn
If you add any files to the diskettes, mark them
with the FV utility. Invoking FV without any parameters
displays its documentation.
a:fv a:myfile.doc /m
This computes a checksum that is stored in the time field of
this file. The installation procedure checks to make sure
that the checksums are valid on all the files used by this
- 41 - Feb. 27, 1989
Online Bible Programme, Version II
programme. If you change any other file, make sure you
update the CRC in the time field using the FV utility. A
copy of this utility is on the first diskette.
- 42 - Feb. 27, 1989
