Edgar's Pilot BibleDoc Page

Welcome fellow Piloteers. Looking for Bible books in PilotDoc format ? You've come to the right place.

First off, some points of clarification:

• I can only offer the King James version. It is unlikely that I can get other version in the foreseeable future. This is because the reproduction and distribution of all other versions are subject to copyrights control.
• I did not type the bible text in these files. They are existing EText files. I merely added formatting to make them easier to read and search, and then converted them to PilotDoc format.
• Physically I have a some problem using the keyboard and mouse, and constantly worry about introducing typing and formatting errors in these books. If you spot anything, please mail me so that I can rectify my mistake quickly. TIA.
• Based on suggestions offered from various people (especially Jesse Carneiro), I had reworked the formatting so that searching for chapter and verse can be done in one Find. (Paging up and down seemed to be faster too). I had also taken this opportunity to rename the files and index so that they make more sense when alphabetized. Also corrected an error in Hostorical.zip, in which a copy of Jude was included instead of Judges.
• The whole New Testaments would take up about 500K, excluding PilotDoc and any bookmark you might create to mark individual verses or chapters for quick access. This means that you can download the whole New Testaments on your 1Mb Pilot and leave about the equivalent of a Pilot 5000 for your working info.
• Since May 1997, this and all Pilot related page had been hosted by Antioch Network International, for which I do voluntary work fulltime.
• If you encounter problem downloading or have any comment or suggestion, please send me a mail.

The Bible is the living word of God. Take it everywhere with your Pilot. May this help you LIVE IT and SHARE IT.

What do I need to to do to use these Bible books:

1. To unpack the books, you will need an unzipping utility. If you using a Windows PC, download a copy of WinZip or PKZip. If you are using a Macintosh, get a copy of Stuff It, ZipIt or UnZip. Install this on your PC or MAC.
2. To read the bible books, you will need a Pilot DOC Reader application. Download a copy of AportisDoc (Basic Reader is FREE) or TealDoc. Unzipp it and install it on your pilot via the PalmPilot Install (Desktop 1.x and 2.x) or installer (Desktop 3.x), then HotSync. Your Pilot will have a new icon labelled AportisDOC OR TealDOC.
3. Down the desired books by clicking the links above. Then use the unpacking utility to unzip it/them. Each zip file contains one or more .prc/.pdb files. Install these .prc/.pdb files the same way you install the Doc Reader earlier. You will then find these books listed under the DOC application when you tap the icon.
4. Here are some Tips on using and searching these books.

Links and such:

• Palm Pilot Survival Guide at CNET - if you are a new user, this is a good place to gather some background and software.
• Project Gutenberg - electronic books galore. But wait ! You will also need the next link.
• MakeDocW - Mark Pierce's application for PC and Mac to roll your own .pdb/.prc files.
• Christian Classics Electronic Library for the Palm Pilot - a collection of some e-texts that have had a significant influence on the Christian community through the ages and continue to offer Christians invaluable advice and information today.
• My Graffiti tricks page - problems with some of those Graffiti letters ? This may help.
• Palm Computing - sooner rather than later, you'll need that 1MB/2MB upgrade for your Pilot. If you want to work in the dark, the new backlit Palm Pilot models might be just what you need.
  
• If you are looking for a good reference book on PalmPilot, get the PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide (2nd Edition) from O'Reiley (Unix buffs will know their reputation). Whether a new or seasoned user, you will find a wealth of inforamtion from this comprehensive book. Click the graphic to the right to view a detailed description of the book at Amazon.com.
• Due to complain of browser crashes, I had removed the autoplay music. If you like you can still listen to Glorify Thy Name(words/music by Donna Adkins, ©1976 Maranatha! Music) as 'played' by Chris Young. Like me, Chris suffers from muscular dystrophy. Although handicapped, he painstakingly sequenced this piece note by note by poking at a trackball mouse and keyboard with a stick. Do visit this indomitable spirit at his website.
  
• Another piece of uplifting music is I love you Jesus by Gilberto Barreto and Friends. Some of their works are also available here at Antioch.
• Speaking of music, would you like to take a stroll with me down a musical memory lane ? (This page is still under construction).
• Antioch.com.sg - look up Christian resources and churches in the Asia-Pacific region. The site also features Online Bible Study Tools and bible text in English and Chinese.
