Verse of the day - version 1.0 by Fred Anderson I. Installing A. Make a directory in which to store the files (maybe C:\BIBLE) B. Copy the files VEDIT.EXE, TOUCH.EXE, VERSES.BIB and BIBLE.EXE into your directory. C. Create new "program items" for VEDIT and BIBLE in Windows. D. Add these two lines to your WIN.INI file: [Bible] Home=C:\BIBLE (or whatever your path is) E. Only run the TOUCH utility if you receive the program with no VERSES.BIB file II. Notes on running A. You might want to insert the line "run=[PATH]\BIBLE.EXE" where [PATH] is the path to BIBLE.EXE. This will cause the verse program to be executed every time Windows is started. In addition, you can get a random verse at any time by double-clicking the bible icon. B. The program will not run correctly unless everything is set up. (You'll get runtime errors) III. Bugs A. I haven't found any bugs - yet... B. If you find any, please write to me at the address at the bottom. IV. The files A. BIBLE.EXE 1. This is the program that displays the verse for the day. 2. You can get a verse at any time by double-clicking the bible icon. 3. Click the "Amen" button to get the verse to go away. B. TOUCH.EXE 1. This file should only run if you receive no VERSES.BIB file with your package, or if your file is deleted. C. VEDIT.EXE 1. This is the verse editor for the Bible package. 2. Run it by double-clicking the pencil-on-paper icon. 3. Add a) This adds the verse diplayed to the verse database. b) Only click this button AFTER your verse is ready to save. 4. Delete a) This deletes the verse whose location appears in the "Location" box. (example: if "John 3:16" shows in the "Location" box, then that verse will be removed from the verse file.) b) Whatever is in the "Verse" box is irrelevant. Verses are deleted by location only. c) Be careful when you use this option. 5. Done - you can figure this one out. 6. Find a) This option will give you a window with all the verses that contain whatever is shown in the "Location" box. b) For example, if the "Location" box contains: "John", then the Find window will display all verses found in: John, I John, II John, and III John. c) Single clicking a verse location and "OK" or double-clicking a location in the Find window will bring the verse up in the main window. d) Once a verse is brought into the main window, it can be edited. However, when you choose "Add", the verse will be added to the end of the file. To replace the verse, "Add" it, then "Delete" the original. Version 2.0 should have a "Replace" button. 7. Edit - Works on the currently active box. 8. About - Gives version and author information. D. VERSES.BIB 1. This is the verse file for the other programs. 2. Version 2.0 should have a compressed version (the current file is not compressed at all), and a utility to compress your current verse file, so don't worry about having to reenter all your verses. V. Adding Verses A. Feel free to add as many verses as you want and distribute them with the package. B. All verses quoted in the original release are from the New International Version of the Holy Bible unless specifically noted. C. The original version was released with 40 verses. VI. Payment A. I have a very simple payment plan: 1. If you so desire, please send me a small gift for this package. $5 - $10 - $15 - whatever. 2. A gift will register your copy and make you eligible to receive new versions of the program at no cost. 3. If you don't want to send a gift, at least send me a postcard so I'll know how far the package got. 4. Source code is available for a gift of $25. Just include a card with your return address on it. Send correspondence (and make checks payable) to: Fred Anderson P.O. Box 6324 Huntsville, AL 35824-0324 May the Lord bless you as you use this product.
