Description
The BibVision is a Bible text viewer for Amiga computer. It supports
many of the freely available electronic text versions of Bible translations
including
- King James Version
- The Vulgate
- Finnish year 1938 and 1992 translations
- Swedish year 1917 translation
- German Luther Bibel 1545 translation
- French Louis Segond (LSG) 1910 translation
- French John Nelson Darby translation
The basic purpose of BibVision is to be able to study Bible. You can
select the translation and book according to your taste and interest.
For regular readers there's the bookmark; by setting it
you can continue reading from this point later.
The strength of BibVision is, however, that it supports multiple (only
memory limiting) windows. You can open the Bible simultaneously from multiple
locations, or for comparing, even from different translations.

Furthermore, there's also a full single-or-multiple book pattern-matched
search feature. You can search words in the Bible books by using regular
AmigaDOS patterns.

Requirements
To use BibVision, you need
- Amiga with OS4.1
- AISS (optional) for better-looking GUI
- appropriate Bible texts, see download section
Bug reports and suggestions
Please send all comments, bug reports and suggestions to my email (replace 'AT' with '@').
Include a description of your system (OS and BibVision version, hardware you ran BibVision on, other
software and hacks running) and what you were doing when the bug came up. The Grim Reaper
crash log would help, too. Please check if the erroneous action is reproducible.
