Before any installing can be done, you must un'zip the modules to floppy disks. All zip's are designed to be unzipped from a hard disk onto one 360k floppy each. If you are using a higher density disk you may place as many module pieces on it as will fit on a disk. For instance, if you are using 1.44 floppies. You can put all the AV-DBY text modules on 3 disks, laying them out in numerical order per disk. Be sure to label the disks so you can insert the correct disk when prompted. [Note: If you need pkunzip, it can be found at /mirrors/msdos/zip filename is pkz110eu.exe. This is a self extracting zip -- by executing the program it will produce the pkunzip program.] First Time Install: Place the OLB program disk (the one you un'zipped OLBnnnn.ZIP onto) in your drive and type: GO. This will display some info and prompt you to type INSTALL. Once the program portion of OLB is installed, an additional install menu will appear. By selecting 'a' on that menu, you may install Texts, Cross Refs, Notes, Lexicons, etc. Installing More Modules at a Later Date: Place your OLB program disk in the drive and type INSTALL. The Install program will sense you already have the programs installed and will ask you if you want to re-install them. Answer 'NO', and proceed to the install screen where you can install more modules. Assistance: If you are having problems with the install, try booting from a floppy before running 'install'. If you are trying to run install from the hard disk, please go back a few paragraphs and re-read the install instructions. OLB is not designed to install from the hard disk -- it must be done from floppy. A common problem reported is a 'crc' error due to unzipping on a non-MS-DOS platform. If you get a 'crc' error during install: be sure you pkunziped in a real MS-DOS environment. If you need help, you may send e-mail to acus10@waccvm.corp.mot.com Please provide some detail about the problem, your equipment, any special software your running, etc. And please provide your e-mail address in your note. ------------------------------------------------------------ OLB overview ----------- The Online Bible _What is New in Version 6 from Version 5?_ o Huge topic disk includes over 4200 topics from the original Thompson Chain plus hundreds of topics from the 1897 New Topical Textbook plus much other resource material. o Strong's numbers carefully revised, find an error and win $10 o 100,000 verb parsings added to Authorised Version o English frequency counts added to Hebrew Lexicon o Greek lexicon heavily revised for accuracy o 580,474 cross references for the whole Bible o Bilingual Versions, AV plus Strong's plus European languages o Hypertext features added to Notes facility, point and shoot o Up to four independent sets of notes can be accessed in a carousel o Alternate lexicon for your word studies o Updated 1833 Webster Bible included free with AV versions o Manual completely rewritten by a professional English publisher _Scholar's Pack Description_ o Requires about 14 megabytes on a hard disk on IBM PC, 384K and DOS 2.11 or later. o The basic text for the Online Bible is the 1769 Authorised Version (AV or KJV) indexed using Strong's numbers.
