Look for The ON-LINE BIBLE by Larry Pierce who lives in Canada.
There is also USA sales from a 800 number from someone in Michigan.
It Runs from DOS.
The OLB V5.0 came on 360 KB disks, would run on a XT and took up 10 MB
of HD space.
It is the Authorized Version (AV) or King James Version and the text is
in British English.
It has Cross References, Word(s) Search (I say Words because a search
can be made using more than ONE WORD.)
and Strongs Numbers for Hebrew and Greek words.
It is a really nice program.
AND IT HAS SUPPORT for a couple of Voice Reader programs that can be
enabled with a Command Line Option when the software is started
so it CAN BE USED by Blind People.
***
The OLB v6.11 comes on a CD-ROM with IMAGE FILES that could be copied to
1.4MB disks, it takes 22 MB of HD space.
It has ALL THE ABOVE plus The Thompsons Chain References and more.
Like the OLB v5.0 the AV is FREE to use
after you get the software See Below.
The Scholar Pack Version is the AV, the Youngs Literal Translation and
another Translation, I think it is called the Darby version.
The NIV can be used IF a fee is paid to the NIV's owners to use their
version with the OLB.
I don't know if a Windows version has been made, but I know V6.11 has a
.PIF file that allows the OLB to ALSO be started in Win3.1.
I have saw the V6.11 for download on the Internet by Searching for
On-Line (Online) Bible.
The software is FREE to copy and use if you get it that way.
There are a lot of 'disk size' files to download so it will take time.
I got both my versions from friends who had copies.
