Hi,

Thanks for downloading the UK version of the NIV for OpenSong.

This is release 0.3.2 of the UK NIV (19th March 2009).

If you already have the (American) NIV installed, installing the UK NIV will be slighty different than adding a 'normal' Bible version for OpenSong. Please read the instructions below before you start!

(If you haven't got a previous version of the NIV, you can add it like a normal Bible.)


*****************************************************


#1 To install the UK NIV if you HAVE already got the (American) NIV:

Close OpenSong!

Go to the 'Program Files -> OpenSong -> OpenSong Scripture' folder and rename the 'NIV' file to 'NIVus'. 
(For Mac users it's in 'Applications ->  OpenSong -> OpenSong Scripture'.)

In the subfolder within 'OpenSong Scripture' called 'indexes' rename 'NIV.ind' to 'NIVus.ind'.

Put the new NIV file in the 'OpenSong Scripture' folder. 

When you next start OpenSong (or use the NIV version if it isn't your default), a new index file will be created (this might take a couple of minutes).  You should now have the UK NIV working under 'NIV' and you can even use the US version, if you wish to, as it will appear in OpenSong as 'NIVus'.


*****************************************************


#2 To install/upgrade/replace the UK NIV version if you ALREADY HAVE the UK NIV:

Go to the 'Program Files -> OpenSong -> OpenSong Scripture' folder and rename the 'NIV' file to 'NIVoldUK'.
(For Mac users it's in 'Applications ->  OpenSong -> OpenSong Scripture'.)

In the subfolder within 'OpenSong Scripture' called 'indexes' rename 'NIV.ind' to 'NIVoldUK.ind'.

Put the new/updated NIV file in the 'OpenSong Scripture' folder.

When you next start OpenSong (or use the NIV version if it isn't your default), a new index file will be created (this might take a couple of minutes). The NIV version should now be updated!  If not then the previous version can still be used and will be called NIVoldUK.

    To back out the upgrade simple reverse the renaming procedure:

    Go to the 'Program Files -> OpenSong -> OpenSong Scripture' folder, remove 'NIV' and rename the 'NIVoldUK' file to 'NIV'.
    In the subfolder within 'OpenSong Scripture' called 'indexes', remove 'NIV.ind' (if there is one) and rename 'NIVoldUK.ind' to 'NIV.ind'.

Once you’re happy with the new NIV in OpenSong the two 'old' files can be removed.


*****************************************************

If you're using Windows you might see a folder and file, in the zip, that are named '_MACOSX'. Don't worry! These are safe to ignore, they're just in there because I used a Mac to make the zip file!

The UK NIV was created by Richard Bradley (rmb9@live.co.uk) and James Cooper (opensong@minehead-baptist.com). If you find anything that needs changing/updating in the Bible, please email us and we'll add the changes to the downloadable Bible!

Thanks.
