+The fetchbibpes Bundle
+Author: D. P. Story
+Dated: 2018/07/30
+
+This bundle provides two packages, bibpes and fetchbibpes. This pair of
+packages was motivated by a friend, who was preparing Bible studies lessons
+using a combination of the application e-Sword (http://www.e-sword.net/) and
+LaTeX. He wanted a `database' of Bible packages from which he could simply
+`fetch' passages into the LaTeX source file.
+
+ 1. The bibpes package is the `database' part of the problem. Use the
+ e-Sword application to copy and paste desired passages into an
+ (empty) TXT file. Use makebibpes.tex to convert the TXT file to a DEF
+ file formatted in a way that is usable by fetchbibpes.
+
+ 2. The fetchbibpes package is the `fetch' portion. Using the fetch
+ commands of fetchbibpes to reference the passages to be typeset into
+ the \LaTeX source. Two commands, \fetchverse and \fetchverses are
+ defined with numerous support options for formatting the verses.
+ A simple example is \fetchverses{Gen 1:1-10}, the command fetches
+ the passage Genesis 1:10 from the `database' of DEF files input
+ into the source document.
+
+Unpack the distribution by latexing fetchbibpes.ins.
+
+What's new (2018/07/30) Bug fixes. Added the cfg option for specifying a
+custom contiguration file. New commands \showTranslAlways, \showTranslDecld,
+\translFmt, \translTxtFmt, and \cobblevrs. All documented in the manual.
+NOTE: The format for the CFG file has changes, you will need to update to
+this new syntax; refer to Section 3.8 of the manual and to fbpes.cfg for an
+example.
+
+What's new (2018/07/12) Defined a new command \fetchversestxt; the command
+has the same arguments as \fetchverses, but it does not expand to typeset
+content. Rather, it defines two commands \versetxt and \passagetxt. These two
+are the passage reference and the passage for that verse but with all \LaTeX
+styling and font changes.
+
+What's new (2018/03/21): Implemented open ended ranges, for example,
+\fetchverses{Joh 3:27-} fetches all passages from John, chapter 3, starting
+with verse 27 until the end of the chapter.
+
+What's new (2016/09/24): Changed behavior of the alt key. Added an alt* key.
+
+
+Enjoy.
