What is BibleVerse...

BibleVerse is a random Bible verse generator for the DOS platform.  It 
randomly picks a verse from the BIBVERSE.DAT text file and displays it 
on the screen.


Starting BibleVerse...

Using BibleVerse is easy.  At the DOS prompt (eg. C:\BIBVERSE>) just type 
"BIBVERSE" (without the quotes).  The program will generate a random 
verse, display the verse and return you to the DOS prompt.

You can have BibleVerse pause after displaying the verse.  For example, 
type "BIBVERSE 5" to have the verse displayed for 5 seconds.  "BIBVERSE 10"
to have it displayed for 10 seconds.  At any time during the paused display
you can hit a key to cancel the pause.  Typing "BIBVERSE 0" (that's a zero
not the letter O) at the prompt will pause it until any key is pressed.
There is not a time limit.

Need help?  Type "BIBVERSE ?" or "BIBVERSE HELP"

Syntax:   BIBVERSE [n]

  n = 0           pauses display until any key is depressed

  n = 1,2,..      pauses display for n seconds

  n = ? or help   displays some helpful information


Recommended Use...

After extracting the files to a directory (eg. C:\BIBVERSE), add the 
following lines to the END of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file which is found 
in your root directory.

CD C:\BIBVERSE
BIBVERSE 0
