I'm looking for a software program that will allow me to use a Bible software program on my Palm Pilot. (If such a thing exists.)

Can anybody help me?

thanx.

Might be easier and more productive to just memorize the whole thing than to deal with the nanokeyboard and nanodisplay.

I’m not sure I understand your question as you are saying you need a software program that allows you to use another software program on your Palm.

If you already have a software program that you use on your PC that you want to share with your Palm you might want to contact the company and ask if they have a mobile or PDA sync setup.

Or, check out this site. They may have a mobile version of what you are looking for.

Can't speak to the quality of any of them, but it should give you a place to start looking.

I have been using the “My Bible” software from Laridian for many years. I currently have 8 translations available on the memory stick of an older Sony Clie (Palm OS)
I have found the core program easy to use and carry my handheld in lieu of a printed Bible.
You can add notes, do word lookups, toggle from transpation to translation. Their NIV Study Bible has extensive commentary & historical footnotes

I don’t know what you mean by software program t allow you to use a Bible program. There are thousands of sites where you can download the Bible (almost any edition) as plain text, and scads of readers that will let you read and search it.

If you want red-letter text, the ability to add margin notes, or other frills, there are scads f options for Palm — go to pocketgear.com and search for “bible” (sorry I don’t have a direct link, but they don’t generate portable URLs).
