Well, there seem to be a few Bible programs for the Amiga out there, but none like what I am planning. Here's what's out there: guy@anubis.network.com (Guy D'Andrea): > Our local Amiga users group got a hold of a set of > floppies (10 I think?) that has the whole Bible on them > (ASCII format I believe). Yes, that is what I have. It is the whole King James version (which is in the public domain) in ASCII format, each chapter in its own file. It takes up 6 or 7 disks. roger_earl@icecave.wimsey.bc.ca (Roger Earl): > I don't know if this qualifies as an Amiga program, but I > have 'The Illustrated Holy Bible' on the CDTV. Its > published by Animated Pixels (the same guys that do > Barney Bear) and has excellent search features as well as > a nice interface. You can use it on an Amiga as soon as > Commodore releases their CD-Rom attachment. meyers@wybbs.mi.org (John Meyers): > Well, there is a New Testament program available for FTP > on AB20. It used CanDO as an interface. But, I'm not even > sure if it let one search - I think one just selected the > desired book, and it printed it out. My disclaimer is > that I haven't spent much time on it, so I could be wrong. If I remember right, this program is extremely big. Kind of a problem for the poor sods who don't have hard drives (like me). rutgers!buster.stafford.tx.us!rwc@UCSD.EDU (Robert W. Craven): > I have seen a program called "Bible Reader" I think. The > company was from Atlanta, GA. and was a King James > Version. There was another message which I forgot to save that mentioned a catalog from New Zealand that had the ASCII files for sale, along with a KJV and a NIV reader. What am I planning? I hope to have the whole Bible on two disks, allowing a 2 floppy Amiga user to jump anywhere in the Bible or do whole Bible word and phrase searches without having to switch disks. My Bible files are 30% the size of the ASCII files, so they will fit on 2 floppies. Now it's just a matter of whether I'll be able to fit my program and the other necessary files on there too. I am using the King James version of the Bible because it's in the public domain and may be freely distributed. After this is done, though, I plan on doing other versions, such as the NKJV, NASB, and the NIV. We'll see. If anyone would like more information on the program I am working on, feel free to mail me at crash or on Fidonet (Bruce Geerdes, 1:129/34).
