ONLINE BIBLE WINDOWS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS         Mar. 30, 1996

For best results REBOOT your system and DO NOT run any Windows programs
before you start this install. These may load DLL's that could cause the
installation procedure to fail mysteriously.

After you have installed the program, reboot your computer BEFORE you start
the Online Bible program.

We recommend running this program on a /386 DX or better with 4 or
more megs of memory work very well. Windows needs 6 to 8 megs to run
multiple applications well. Set your Windows resolution to 800 by 600
for ease of use.  You can switch between applications just by clicking
on them without having to enter "ALT-TAB".

      with the drive letter for your CD.

   2) Follow the on-screen instructions.

ONLINE BIBLE WINDOWS CD-ROM WITH A WINDOWS UPGRADE INSTALL DISK

   1) Place the Online Bible in your computer CD drive.

   2) From your program manager run a:setup or b:setup depending on

ONLINE BIBLE DOS CD-ROM INSTALLATION

   To install a DOS CD that is 6.2 or older

   1) From your program manager run a:setup or b:setup depending on
      which disk drive you place the WINDOWS upgrade installation disk.

   2) Follow the on-screen instructions.

UPGRADING AN EXISTING DOS ONLINE BIBLE INSTALLATION

   1) You CANNOT update a version older then 6.10.

      1a) If your version is older than 6.10, update it to 6.10 or
          later with a install disk only update. You do not have to
          reinstall your text modules.  All version 6 text modules work
          with the Windows version.

      1b) If your version is older than 6.0, do a complete install the
          latest DOS version of the Online Bible.  The older version 5
          text modules do not work with the Windows version.

      The latest DOS INSTALL disk is on the Windows CD-ROM 6.30a under
      the directory \OLB\INSTALL. Copy it to a 1.44 floppy and use it
      to update your old version.

   2) If you compressed your Online Bible files using the Online Bible
      compression, these files CANNOT be accessed by the Windows Online
      Bible program. You will get blank screens when you try to access
      the topics, lexicons or note modules.  Reinstall these files
      using your DOS Online Bible install disk before you do the
      Windows install. DO NOT specify data compression when you
      reinstall the program.

   3) From your program manager run a:setup or b:setup depending on
      which disk drive you place the WINDOWS upgrade installation disk.

   4) Install into the same directory as you already have installed
      the DOS version of Online Bible.

   5) Follow the on-screen instructions.

A NEW INSTALLATION OF THE ONLINE BIBLE OVER THE DOS HARD DISK VERSION

   1) Install the Online Bible using the DOS install disk provided
      following the installation instructions in the user's manual.
      DO NOT compress your files using the Online Bible compression
      option on the install procedure.

After the DOS installation is complete:

   2) From your program manager run a:setup or b:setup depending on
      which disk drive you place the Windows upgrade installation disk.

   3) Install into the same directory as you already have installed
      the DOS version of Online Bible in point 1) above.

   4) Follow the on-screen instructions.

INSTALLATION PROBLEMS

1) Windows needs lots of file handles.  The install program ensures you
   have enough but the changes do not take effect until you reboot your
   computer. Reboot your computer after installing the Online Bible.

2) The Online Bible uses the SYSTEM, SYMBOL, and TERMINAL fonts
   provided with OS/2 and Windows, plus the OLB_HEB font provided with
   the Online Bible.  If the TERMINAL font is not installed, the index
   to the topics will be unreadable.  Consult your OS/2 or Windows
   manual to install all the fonts. The install program should
   automatically install the TERMINAL and OLB_HEB font for you.

3) Under OS/2 the DPMI memory for Windows should be set to at least 16
   megs, otherwise you may get "Insufficient Memory" messages when you
   start the install procedure or run the program.

4) The current program does not support a shared Windows installation.
   These systems do not have a Windows SYSTEM directory.

5) On networks, make sure the nodes have proper access rights to the
   server files.

6) To verify the integrity of the Online Bible Windows Install Disk,
   run the DOS batch file GO Z: under DOS, changing "Z:" to the drive
   letter of your install disk.

   To verify the integrity of the Online Bible Windows CD, run the DOS
   batch file CDVERIFY under DOS. It is very rare that a CD is
   defective.  Try it on another computer to verify it is not your CD
   drive. Some of the earlier quad speed drives read poorly and some CD
   caching programs cause misreads.

PROBLEMS WHEN RUNNING THE PROGRAM FOR THE FIRST TIME

1) You get a message like the following when you start the program
   under Windows.

       C:\WINDOWS\CMDIALOG.VBX is out of date.
       This program requires a newer version
   or
       C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CMDIALOG.VBX is out of date.
       This program requires a newer version

   a) In the Windows\System directory delete the file mentioned in the
      error message and rerun SETUP.

   b) If a copy of this file is in the main Windows directory, delete it
      before you rerun SETUP. e.g. C:\WINDOWS\CMDIALOG.VBX

      You may have to do this several times if several modules are out
      of date. You may have to exit Windows and delete the files from
      DOS. 

2) You get a messages like:

     Installed Online Bible is too old.
     Update to version 6.20 and rerun SETUP.

   This means one of two things:

   a) If you have a version 6 module installed, it must be version 6.1
      or later. The latest DOS INSTALL disk is on Windows CD-ROM under the
      directory \OLB\INSTALL. Copy it to a 1.44 floppy and use it to
      update your old version. Otherwise, get the latest DOS install
      from your supplier. It must be 6.1 or later.

   b) You have a version older than 6 installed on your computer. You
      need a complete replacement to bring the files up-to-date. These
      can be ordered from your supplier.  The cheapest way to get the
      material is on CD-ROM.

PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS CLIPBOARD

1) Word Perfect 5.2 and 6.0 are buggy. The Microsoft clipboard does not
   work properly with them. Upgrade to Word Perfect 6.0a or 6.1 for
   reliable clipboard support.

2) Use this procedure to use paste material into AmiPro.

   a) Open both AmiPro and the Online Bible.
   b) Highlight the material you wish to copy.
   c) Clip on the "copy" button on the button bar.
   d) Use "ALT-TAB" or other means to access AmiPro.
   e) Click on "edit".
   f) Highlight "Paste Special" and click.
   g) Highlight "Text" and click on the "OK" button.

3) Microsoft Word 6.0 works correctly with the clipboard.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) Where is the manual?

   There is no printed manual for the windows version but an abundance of
   help information is available.

   a) Most menus have a help button that brings up detailed help about
      that menu.

   b) The main text display menus do not have help buttons. Detailed
      help is available by clicking on the context help button on the
      extreme right of the button bar that is across the top of the
      screen.

   c) On the main menu line on the extreme right is the help section.
      Click on it. The first entry is an index to the manual. Click on
      it. A window opens up with the complete manual index. There are
      seven tutorials plus the complete reference section. To look at
      any item double click on its number. The tutorials are especially
      valuable for first time users.

2) Where are the speed keys?

   We have not added speed keys because we do not have enough 
   experience as to what should be automated. However, we have added 
   popup menus for the passage, search, cross reference and note 
   display windows.  Hold down the right mouse button on the menu. Drag 
   the mouse to the option you wish to select and let go of the right 
   mouse button to select it. We will greatly expand the popup menus in 
   the future based on your input. Tell us what items you think should
   be on the popup menu. In many ways this is much better than speed
   keys and having a button bar.

   The right mouse button popups are an extremely powerful feature. The
   more you use them the better you will like them.

3) How do I copy CD-ROM files to my hard drive so I do not have to
   access the CD?

   Under the Utilities menu, click on the "Copy CD" option and follow
   the on-screen instructions.

4) How can I install the CD files on a laptop that does not have a CD?

   a) Under the Utilities menu, click on the "Backup" option. Select
      the item you wish installed on the laptop and back them up to
      floppies.  You the latest Windows Online Bible install disk to
      restore these files to the laptop.

   b) If you can connect your laptop to a network that has a CD, then
      under the Utilities menu, click on the "Copy CD" option and follow
      the on-screen instructions. This will copy the files directly
      from the CD to the laptop. When you are finished, click on the
      Reconfigure option under the Utilities menu to rebuild the
      system.  Disconnect the laptop from the network and restart the
      Online Bible on the laptop.

5) During the install, it asked to restore backup disks and I do not
   have any.

   If you do not have any, click on continue to go to the next menu.
   This option is used to install the Online Bible from diskettes on
   machines that do not have a CD-ROM drive, e.g. laptops.

6) During the install, it asked for unlock disks and I do not have any.

   If you do not have any, click on continue to go to the next menu.
   This option is used to activate locked versions that require
   royalty payments to Bible publishers.

7) I installed the CD and then ordered the NIV or some other version
   that requires an unlock disk. How do I install it?

   Click on the "Utilities" menu and click on "Reconfigure". Restart
   the Online Bible and it will ask you to install your unlock disks.

8) I installed the Online Bible Windows upgrade and cannot access
   any topics, notes or lexicons. These can be accessed from the DOS
   version.

   You compressed your Online Bible files using the Online Bible 
   compression. These files CANNOT be accessed by the Windows Online
   Bible program. You will get blank screens when you try to access the
   topics, lexicons or note modules.  Reinstall these files using your
   DOS Online Bible install disk before you do the Windows install. DO
   NOT specify data compression when you reinstall the program.

9) When I use the right mouse button to access poppup menus in the
   Online Bible I have to double click the mouse button. The first time
   it displays a Windows /95 popup.

   You just found one of the many "features" of Windows /95. Complain 
   to MicroSoft. They may fix their problem some day. Under Windows 3.1 
   and WINOS2 this does not happen.

WINDOWS FEATURES

Most of the features of the DOS program are in the Windows program.
The Windows program has considerably more features than the DOS.
However, some things are not yet supported under the Windows version.

1) Arabic text. This requires special fonts and processing to work
   correctly.

2) Shared Window systems that do not have a SYSTEM directory.

3) The DOS versions of the Hebrew and Russian text do not work under
   the Windows version. You must use the texts that are on the Windows
   CD. The Hebrew text will not be ready until March 1996.

April 10, 1996  Version 6.33d

  1) Arabic support enhanced.
  2) VBRUN300.DLL copied to main directory not Windows System

  1) Context button added to Verse List menu.

  2) Fixed case of hypertext not working for certain strange colour
     combinations.

     the Bible.

                  dirdel c:\bible

     This deletes all files and subdirectories under c:\bible.
     Read-Only files are not deleted. This is a handly way to delete an
     old installation of Online Bible.

Feb. 14, 1996

  1) Following DLL's and VBX renamed and installed in Bible directory.

       atx40h.vbx, picscrll.vbx, ss3d.vbx, ss3d2.vbx, ss3d3.vbx

     If no other application is using these files, they may safely be removed
     from the Windows system directory to conserve disk space. If in doubt,
     rename them and see if any other application is using them. Wait a week
     or so, then delete them if they are not required.

     The DLL ddeml.dll, commdlg.dll are no longer used by the setup
     program. Every Windows system appears to already have a copy so
     there is no point attempting to reinstall them.

     The Bible directory now contains these additional files.

       _atx40h.vbx, picscrll.dll, _ss3d.vbx,
       _ss3d2.vbx, _ss3d3.vbx, _olb630.dll

     The only files installed in the Windows directory are

                  cmdialog.vbx, vbrun300.dll

     In addition the following fonts and their related .FOT files
     are stored in the Windows system directory.

     olb_heb.ttf - display Hebrew in verse notes and Hebrew modules
     natasha.ttf - Russian Font
     thanhoa.ttf - Vietnamese Font

Feb. 5, 1996

  1) Imaging support added.

Dec. 30, 1995

     cross reference, passage and note type windows. This allows quicker
     access to often used features plus gives one key access to the
     cross references.

Dec. 15, 1995
  1) Misc. bugs fixed.
  2) Install procedure uses a file to handle foreign language prompts.
  3) New version of ATX40H.VBX text box used.

Nov 7, 1995
  1) Backup and Restore facilities added.
  2) Misc. bugs fixed.

Oct 14, 1995

     If you create notes with lines longer than 80 characters, the
     Online Bible print routines will not print them correctly by
     wrapping lines. The resulting output depends on your particular
     printer.
  3) Extended ASCII in searches now supported as well as in displaying
     Bible book names. Note, for reasons unknown, OS/2 does not seem
     to correctly handle the codes 128, 129, 132, 138, 142, 148, 152,
     162 or 225.
  4) GO.BAT file added to install disk to allow end user to verify disk
     integrity.
