Got 'em all! Just a short note to say "Thanks!" for uploading DIVINE INTERVENTION. Now, as I recall, you mentioned a NIV version…(BIG GRIN!). — Bob

Bob, the NIV does not have a search routine – just the text alone. I have not checked to see whether this search will work on the new version. Lazy, I guess. ……Betty

Betty, Did you finally get DIVOT3 to upload? I didn't notice an announcement going by. I'd also be interested in the NIV files, whether or not the existing search program will work. Possibly you could replace the KJV with NIV files after a month or two. David

David, yes – DIVOT3 is in Library 1, so the Bible set is now complete. Give me a little breather here to get some other things uploaded, and then I'll see about the other version. ……Betty

Betty, text-only would be fine (for the NIV). I can do searching with my several word-processors/text-editors/text-utilities. DIVINE INTERVENTION is my second KJ version; the first is just text (and Messy-DOS formatted, at that! 8-). DI was so well done, though, that I probably would have DL'd it had I a half-dozen KJs! How (or where) did you obtain your NIV? I also wouldn't mind any of the other Protestant Bible versions, the Apocryphal books (or a complete Catholic text), Science and Health, or the Book of Mormon! I have these in hard copy, as well as a wealth of related texts (including some wonderful old, as in last century, religious education texts). Having these on disk would provide some terrific analytical oppourtunities. I have seen some fine commercial offerings (at least for the various Protestant Bibles), but they are MS-DOS, and I prefer supporting ShareWare when available. At any rate, this isn't suggesting you should become a Religious-Lit-On-Disk clearing house ;-> ! Or a suggestion to upload anything else; take a break! You do seem to have some great sources, though. BTW… I created a new icon for DIVINE INTERVENTION, both for the program and the disk(s). It's the same image for both: a more graphic Bible. Do you suppose anyone would be interested? And thanks again for undertaking the task of ARCing and UpLoadinging DI. — Bob

Bob, Why not upload your icons to library 14? I'm sure some people would be interested. I got the NIV from Jay Gross – we exchanged versions. He did not have the KJ; I did not have the NIV. I wish I did have some other things. I have several versions of the Bible on paper, but no others on disk. Same with religious education texts, etc. Actually – I have a degree in religious education from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth. Coming to the seminary changed me from an Arkansan to a Texan. Once I got here, I never left. ……Betty

Betty I have one more question about Divine Intervention for you. Can you do a successful search of book 15 (Ezra) of the Old Testament? I've extracted it several times from the Lharc file, and even extracted the entire Divine-OT3: a couple of times, but whenever I try a search of Ezra (first noticed when I tried to search the entire Old Testament), I end up with the Guru. In the past, whenever I've had software Guru, I've attributed it to programing errors, however, recently, I've noticed that there is some software that runs on other Amigas, that won't run on mine-I've even run into a game that will only run on occasion!
