Those who wish to use more versions, commentaries and books from the Online Bible desktop program may purchase an unlock code for $15. This will give the ability to load any modules from the Windows desktop computer to a Pocket PC. This code will not expire or have to be renewed. We are not charging for each module as other PDA Bible programs do. As always, whether you buy the unlock code or not, all future Online Bible program updates will be free and will allow you to use the basic modules on your Pocket PC.

If you have other problems, more technical information is available on your desktop Online Bible program under the Help Menu > Latest Changes.

Must have latest version of Online Bible files installed on your desktop computer. For example, legacy files like .OLB images will not work. JPGs work fine which is what we have been using for the last 4 years. If your program is older, upgrade your CD at our special price of $20. Our latest release has about 40% more material than earlier CDs.

If you have a PocketPC with 50 to 100 megs of memory available you should be able to load a number of versions, commentaries, dictionaries, lexicons and books from the library. We have tested it on a different PDAs including iPaq, Axim and Toshiba as well as the new Palm Treo W smartphone that uses the Windows operating system. Phone units and most PDAs have quarter VGA screens (sometimes called TTF) and although the program runs well, if you are buying a new PDA, we recommend one such as the Dell Axim X51v with a full VGA screen running the Windows 2005 operating system and lots of memory. The text is extremely sharp and all the new functionality is standard.

On the Menu/Customize/About screen we display the amount of memory used. .Net takes 4 megs and our program takes about 2 megs. JPegs are real pigs. They take about 100 times their actual size to display. A 100K JPeg requires about 10 megs! Dictionaries other than SysDct require about 3 megs to open their index. One user successfully ran 150 modules on his Pocket PC with no problems, so even these tiny devices have lots of power.

On a 600 mhz processor, the refreshes are almost instantaneous but even on a slower processor it is quick. Only the first refresh for a given database is slow because the database has to be opened. Once the database is opened, displays from it should be very fast. If yours are not, check to see how much memory you have on the Menu/Customize/About screen. If you have a program running that is a memory hog you can shut down programs you are not using from the Settings/System/Memory/Running Programs tab in your Pocket PC.

Installation Instructions:

After installing the new programming on your desktop computer you will find a new option in the Tools menu called Configure Pocket PC that will allow you to load the programming and any modules from your desktop version of Online Bible to your Pocket PC.  The Configuration tab contains the list of modules that will be copied over when you press the Install button. The initial list includes all the modules that you have Preselected for use in your desktop Online Bible program <F9>. The other tabs will allow you to de-select any modules that you do not wish to use on your Pocket PC.

If you do not have enough memory available for all the modules you wish to install, you can choose to load the Online Bible on a memory card instead of your main memory.  You must choose the location to install the program before the Install button will become active. If you are not satisfied with the choices you have made you can run Configure Pocket PC again and deselect some modules then click Install to load the new configuration.  If you wish to change the location where the program is installed you will need to click the Uninstall button and then redo the installation.

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

Reporting Errors:

If Any errors happen on the Pocket PC, error log files are created. Use the "Get Logs" function on the Pocket PC menu on the desktop. This creates a file PPCError.Log in the same directory as the Startup.Log file, that is in the Bible data path directory. Send that file to us so we can correct the error. Please also give us some information about what you did when the error occurred.

Please send error reports to:onlinebible@highspeedfx.net
