Installing mod_perl is +recommended for a speed improvement, but is by no means necessary. + +Then copy the two .pl files from the ./cgi directory of this +distribution into your cgi-bin directory. Modify the top of +diatheke.pl to reflect the correct location of your your diatheke +command line utility binary and the default font if necessary. The +CGI is now installed and ready for access. + +diatheke.pl is the main lookup script. dia-def.pl is a supplemental +script used to set a default Bible translation (saved on the +user's computer as a cookie). + +Two sample HTML files are included as sample interfaces for an +general Web-Bible gateway. index-public.html includes all currently +available free texts while index-private.html includes all currently +available texts, including those which are encrypted because +of copyright and distribution restrictions. In any case, you should +only use these as a guide, adding and subtracting modules depending +on which modules you have installed and have permission to publish +on the internet or your intranet. The bottom section of each file +includes an example call to the dia-def.pl script to set a default +Bible version. + +You may also direct users directly to your perl script since it will +present a page with all of your modules. Or you may wish to use this +default page to create a custom index.html for your users. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +VERSION HISTORY + +4.0 July 8, 2001. + Updated to Sword 1.5.2 with innumerable bug fixes. + Now builds properly for Win32 using VC++. + Diatheke/Tcl and HANDiatheke were omitted, for the moment + from this release, but are still available in the CVS. + +3.0 March 31, 2001. + Self-generating HTML page for the lazy (Diatheke/CGI). + Localization support.
