The BIBLE on disk. This area contains the entire King James Version of the Bible plus some programs to make it wider or narrower. While all text was read in originally on an OCR, it has been cleaned up and all known typos are eliminated. It is still all upper case. Due to space requirements, it has been squeezed. To recreate the unsqueezed version (on a VAX running VMS) use the command file USQZBIB.COM after looking it over. This command file assumes you are in this directory and that you can copy LZDCM.EXE to SYS$SYSTEM. If you don't want to do the copy to SYS$SYSTEM, then edit the file to point the LZD symbol at your disk and directory. Be sure you have 9000 or so blocks free on whatever disk you do the uncompress on. Each verse begins on its own line to facilitate concordances and other indexing techniques, and each book is in its own file so simple tools like Grep (or Search) can be useful tools for queries.
