# Downloading Agape-Biblia

Agape-Biblia consists of the full Bible (Old and New Testaments) complete with all the cross references to the Bible as "hot links", all of the 470 topics of the general commentaries and all of the topics on each book of the Bible from the Russian NIV Topical Study Bible, plus HTML files that are the "zametki" ("notes") files for Agape-Biblia: note files for every chapter of the Bible, your personal daily prayer guide, your personal Scripture memory program, your journal for writing down your meditations and examples of how you can develop your own essays, sermons, etc. with links to Agape-Biblia.

To install Agape-Biblia Version 1.6A, (01 December 2005) on your computer:

For Windows:
First, click on Agape-Biblia-1.6A-inst.exe (535Kb): download the latest file and run it. This program will install some system files and the "notes" into the C:\Program Files\AB-CD\Agape-Biblia folder. All of our compiled "Help" modules and MP3 files must be kept in this folder so that each users' "notes" know where to find these files. This lets all users share one set of files (about 500Mb). Also, you can copy our "Program Files\AB-CD" folder to a CD-ROM or Flash memory to give to your friends, because the "notes" in C:\Program files\AB-CD\Agape-Biblia remain unmodified.

Second, click on Agape-Biblia.chm (2.28Mb) to download it, or copy it and place it into the C:\Program Files\AB-CD\Agape-Biblia folder. Then just Click! on the Agape-Biblia desktop icon and Agape-Biblia will appear.

Do you have a slow dial-up Internet connection?
If so, run our Agape-Biblia.chm Help file after you install Agape-Biblia-1.6A-inst.exe. This will let you work in offline mode. IMPORTANT! Click HERE to learn how to fix Microsoft's attempt to break the links between our Help-files!!

OR... Do you have a fast Internet connection?
To switch to fast online mode, simply go to Agape-Biblia\zametki in your "My Documents" folder and run "link-to-www.bat". By running "link-to-www.bat" you use only your personal notes on your computer and access everything else in Agape-Biblia directly on the 'Net over a broadband connection. To switch back to offline mode (if no broadband connection is available), simply run "link-to-chm.bat" and use Agape-Biblia.chm.

For Linux, MacIntosh and other operating systems:
Right-click on Agape-Biblia-1.6A-inst.zip (509Kb), then run "zametki/index.htm". These HTML files are the same "zametki" ("notes") files for Agape-Biblia as we use for Windows, just set up to run in online mode. You keep only your personal notes on your computer and access everything else in Agape-Biblia directly on the 'Net.

If you are running Windows NT or XP, the install program will copy the "notes" into the current user's My Documents\Agape-Biblia folder. When Agape-Biblia.chm starts up, it will ask you: "Will you use your personal 'zametki' files on the hard disk?" If you answer "no" it will use the "notes" in C:\Program Files\AB-CD\Agape-Biblia or on your CD-ROM. If you answer "yes", it will ask you for your Windows name. This lets each user edit separate "notes" files.

ATTENTION: this Agape-Biblia login name is the name you were given when your Windows account was created, not what you may have changed it to. For example, if your account was created as "Ivan Ivanovich" and you later changed it to appear as "Vania", your My Documents folders are still kept under "Ivan Ivanovich" in Windows, so you must use "Ivan Ivanovich" to login to Agape-Biblia. Each Agape-Biblia user on a Windows NT or XP computer must run the "Zametki-inst.bat" file to install his or her separate "notes" files.

If you are running Windows 98 or ME, it will copy the "notes" into C:\My Documents\Agape-Biblia. Of course, if more than one person uses Agape-Biblia on a Windows 98 or ME computer, they will all share the same "notes" files.

Starting with version 1.4A, Agape-Biblia and its subdirectories can run from a hard drive or a CD-ROM, but all of our *.chm Help files MUST be in the same directory so that they link to each other. Otherwise, they will crash or you will get "page not found" error messages. You need Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher and Windows 95 or higher to run Help files.

Starting with version 1.3B of Agape-Biblia, you can add our Bible modules in other languages, and their chapters will be automatically linked to the corresponding chapter of Agape-Biblia. Starting with version 1.2C of Agape-Biblia, our installation saves your note files in and also creates an "Agape-Biblia" icon on your desktop.

Reminder: you need Windows-compatible CP1251 Russian fonts installed both in Windows and in your Web browser, before you can use Agape-Biblia.
