1. Download "VW-OLB.EXE" (below) and 'run' it to self-extract the OLB VW-Edition translation module backup file called: "BIBLE.801" along with vwreadme.txt, vw-about.txt (the "Preface") and vw-setup.exe.

2. If you already have Online Bible software installed, run "vw-setup.exe" and it should automatically install the VW-edition for you. If installation was successful, please note the instructions below regarding "Jacob" and "Judas", and you should be all set.
3. If you need to 'manually' install the translation, start up Online Bible, and install the "BIBLE.801" into it, from the Tools-User Module-Restore/Add Material menu/s. (If you have an older version of OLB you will need to activate your Tools-Customise Settings-User Preferences- Advanced User Mode for this to work) And once installed, don't forget to Select "Bible-VW 2008" from within Library-Selection Preferences. Also very important: for the corrected names for "Jacob" and "Judas" to appear properly in the window title bars, make sure that Tools-Customise Settings - Use Standard English Abbreviations in Verse Windows is NOT checked.

   Please note: The VW-edition OLB module will only work with OLB versions 8.xx.xx or newer. It will not work with prior versions 7.xx, Windows 3.1, or DOS versions

4. If you don't have Online Bible Software you can Download it from the OLB website. Be sure to download the "Starter Pack" (NOT the "Update"). The Starter Pack includes AV (KJV) with Strongs numbers, Hebrew/Greek lexicons, TSK for cross-referencing, and Easton's Bible Dictionary. This setup should provide most people with everything they need for serious Bible study.

   Once you have installed the OLB program, then follow the instructions from #2 & #3 (above) to install the VW-edition into the program.

5. If you find you like the OLB software, and want to also do other study with it, you can download free modules from the various OLB download sites listed at the top of the ' Software-Study Aids' page. To enhance your study, you might also find the following recommended tools of benefit:
   • Smith's - Bible Dictionary
   • Nave's - Topical Bible
   • OLB Maps - Maps produced by OLB
   • Bible Maps - Maps produced by a third party

   Once downloaded, 'run' to self-extract their *.801 files, and install them just as you did the VW-edition (manually) above.

VW-Edition - PDF file:

• "BIBLE-VW.PDF" - - (3.6Mb)
  VW-Edition PDF File - (December, 07)

NOTE: Right-click the "Download" icon and "save target as" to save without opening.

Suggestion for printing: - If you first print all 'odd' page numbers, keeping the pile in-tact as it comes out the printer, then simply turn the pile over and print the 'even' pages. Once finished, barring difficulties along the way (to replenish ink, the printer grabbed more than 1 page, etc), the pages should all be in order.

Many quick-print/copy businesses can digitally print (from this PDF file), collate and 3-hole punch the pages for less than the cost of ink refills. And then use the 3-ring binder suggestion which follows.

Suggestion for binding: - If you use standard copier/printer paper, the collection should 'just' fit into a 1 1/2 inch "D" type loose-leaf binder.

VW-Edition - OliveTree BibleR+ for Palm & Windows OS:

• "VW-OLIVE.ZIP" - - (967Kb)
  VW-Edition file for Palm (OliveTree "BibleR+") - (December,05)

Installation: - Unzip the contents of this file into the directory from where you install your Palm software, and follow the installation instructions for your PDA

Note: - due to a formatting issue, the epistle of Jacob is not labeled correctly, and searches must be done with the traditional "James" (Jam)

Special Notice: - This Olive Tree module does not contain the © 2006, 2007, 2008 updates. Repeated e-mails have been sent, with their repeated promises to get it formatted... eventually; but most recently, half a year later after several months of waiting, they are not even replying to my e-mails. So, I am left to assume they have no intention of making the most recent update (probably the 'last' one) available. Thus, I have also removed the link to their website. Besides which, for the Palm PDA, the "PalmBible +" (above) is a better program anyway... a lot 'faster' and more user friendly and configurable.

VW-Edition - Zefania XML:

• "VW-MY.ZIP" - - (1.3Mb)
  VW-Edition XML w/out Jacob/Judas subtitles - (November, 07)
  -- This file also works 'directly' in MyBible - (For details: see vwreadme.txt)

• "VW-WORD.ZIP" - - (1.3Mb)
  VW-Edition XML with Jacob/Judas subtitles - (February, 08)
  -- This file also 'imports' to TheWord - (For details: see vwreadme.txt)
  -- But if you use TheWord program, use the vw.ont.exe file under TheWord. It has been custom-taylored specifically to TheWord's proprietary format, better than the import utility's generic conversion process.

Explanation: - The Zefania XML format seems to be a format that various software designers are using. Some programs use it directly, others will "import" it into their own proprietary format. Two versions are offered here: One for those programs that allow translation-unique book names to appear correctly on the title bars (or where "standard" or "default" abbreviations/names can be disabled); and one for those where Jacob and Judas will not appear correctly, having a special header-subtitle for the purpose.

Caution: - If you find other postings of the VW-edition in "Zefania XML" listings, they may or may not be current, or accurate. There seems to be a tendency out there to post without permission, and to make little changes as suits their whims. What is offered above here is authenticated by VW as being textually correct.

VW-Edition - PDA-friendly:

• "PDA" - [Menu] - (April, 08)

Description: - Online files for those with wireless internet access, designed specifically for smaller PDA screens, and each chapter is its own file for smaller memory requirements. So far it has been tested and works with Blackberry, Opera "mini" browser and Palm Treo. If you click on it with a regular computer browser it is not very 'pretty', but was requested by/for PDA users. Hopefully the format is universal enough to work with many different 'small' platforms. If you find any bad links, please let me know so I can fix them.
