The texts on this disk have been compressed using a data compression 

program named "PKZIP" and stored on the disk in self restoring

.EXE files.  Each file contains approximately one 360K disk's worth

of data and may be recovered by simply typing the name of the file

as if it were an application program by the drive letter or path where

you want the decompressed text to be stored, e.g.

For the purposes of restoring the whole corpus two batch files have 

been included.  If you wish to restore to a hard disk and have enough

disk #1.  The drive letter or path should be included as a parameter.

If it is a path name, the last character should be the "\" character.



  BHS2HARD C:\BIBLE\

  

For installing on floppies, "BHS2FLOP.BAT" has been included.
