        IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VERSES
*************************************************
Welcome to Verses!

Verses is a shareware software developed by John H. Jones of 
JILAS Products. JILAS stands for Jesus Is Lord And Savior. The 
primary purpose of this software is to bless and encourage believers
by providing easily accessable random scripture verses. Verses 
contains over 500 verses which are randomly selected.

Here's some information and tips on troubleshooting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SETUP: How to Install Verses on Your Computer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation is easy. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Create the directory that you want verses to reside in; \VERSES for example.
2. copy the VERSES.ZIP file to that directory.
3. Unzip the VERSES.ZIP file.
4. This will unzip the VERSES.EXE and the COLORSET.EXE files, as well as
   data and configuration files.
5. Run COLORSET.EXE. This will enable you to select colors and the bible
   version you desire.
6. After you have run COLORSET, you can now run verses by typing 'verses".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEGINNING TO USE: COLORSET
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During installation, COLORSET.EXE will run and allow you to select
the colors and the bible version that you desire. You can also run
COLORSET anytime after the initial installation to change the 
colors or bible version.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEARNING TO USE: Verses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as you run verses, a random scripture verse will be shown.
you can select another verse as many times as you like by depressing
the'Y' key. When you are done viewing the verses, simply depress
the 'N' key and Verses will stop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTOMIZING THE Verses: Create Your Personal Verses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can change the Bible Version you desire to display anytime by
re-running COLORSET.EXE. Also, it is a good idea to copy all the
data files (KJV.DAT, NAS.DAT, NIV.DAT and RSV.DAT) to your working
directory. That way, you can easily change between versions.

You can also add your own personal scripture verses. 
The data files are text files that contain the actual scripture verses. 
There are separate data files for each bible version (KJV, NAS, NIV and RSV). 

The data files are named with a .DAT extension (KJV.DAT, NAS.DAT, NIV.DAT 
and RSV.DAT). You can add or delete new scripture verses to the data files,
however whatever is added or deleted in one data file, must also be added or
deleted to all the data files.

To add a verse to the data files you must use a text editor (you cannot 
use a word processor editor unless it allows you to edit files in the text
mode only without any word processor document formatting). The easiest way
to add a verse is to add it at the top the files. It is a good idea to make
a backup copy of the data files before you start to modify them. Also, you
can look at the formatting of the verses to see how they are formatted in
these data files. The general formatting is a follows:
verse
bible book, chapter, and verse number
blank line

For example:
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
Psalms 23:1
(Blank line is here)

The maximum length of a verse or combination of verses that you can add for 
display in one window is 800 characters. After you open the data file, you 
can add the scripture verse as follows: 

Type in the verse with the capital letters exactly as you want 	them to
appear in Verses. As you enter the verse you can use the 'Enter' key to
start a new line whenever the line is greater than 80 characters. After you
have finished entering the verse, depress Enter to start a book, chapter, and
verse number exactly as you want it to appear in the verse number line
display. Next you must depress the 'Enter' key so that a blank line separates
the new verse from the next verse. Failure to add a blank line will result in
blank or wrong scripture verses being displayed.
