- Palm OS Required
Our products for Palm PDA devices require at least Palm OS version 3.5.
- Memory Requirements
Because of the great number of GMPSoft resources you may use from
either RAM of your Palm PDA or an expansion card, it is very difficult to define the exact
amount of memory you must have on your handheld. To help you with that we have provided free full functional trial of
the products — you install the full volumes of the files to test and adjust the necessary system resources.
For example:
- If you use Bible With You for one Bible translation from RAM, provide
approximately 300Kb free RAM on your Palm PDA necessary for proper operation (besides
the memory required for installing the product's files in RAM or the card.)
- If you use more GMPSoft applications and Study Books (commentaries, Bible notes, lexicons)
from RAM or a card, you need to provide more free RAM for proper operation (critical requirements for
the free RAM vary from 700Kb to 1.3Mb.)
- Expansion Cards
GMPSoft Palm PDA applications use VFS to work with MMC, SD cards and Memory Sticks.
You may store both the application files (.prc type) and the databases (.pdb files) on an expansion card.
(Install the .prc files in \Palm\Launcher folder of the card.)

| Q: |
What does the (CEV) in the product name mean?
|
| A: |
CEV stands for Contemporary English Version. The CEV Bible was first published in 1995 by
the American Bible Society. The CEV translation was marked by an uncompromising simplicity. The
drafting, reviewing, editing, revising and refining the text of the CEV has been a worldwide
process extending over a period of slightly more than ten years.
The CEV is not a paraphrase. It is an accurate and faithful translation
of the original manuscripts. It is easily read by grade schoolers, second language readers,
and those who prefer the more contemporized form. The CEV has been described as a
'user-friendly' translation that can be read aloud without stumbling, heard without
misunderstanding, and listened to with enjoyment and appreciation, because the language
is contemporary and the style is lucid and lyrical. The Contemporary English Version invites
you to read, to hear, to understand, and to share the Word of God now as never before!

| |
| Q: |
I tried to use the software but received error message 'Database not found. Leaving...'.
What should I do?
|
| A: |
Usually the Palm software consists of two parts - application files (with an
extension .prc) and database files (with an extension .pdb). The
message you have received indicates you need to install the .pdb files of the
applications you have. |
| |
| Q: |
Can I move the application on an expansion card
|
| A: |
Yes, our products support expansion cards (MMC, SD, memory sticks). You can store both the
databases (.pdb) and the application (.prc) files on an expansion card. |
| |
| Q: |
I received a message: 'Bible has older version than your application requires and shall
not be opened'. What should I do?
|
| A: |
GMPSoft endeavor to achieve greater speed of operation of its products so we are continually
improving the data structure formats. The new versions of the products do not support the
older data formats purposely, so the speed would not decrease. In order to prevent this we
have implemented a mechanism for protection. The message you have received is a result of
this protection.
Usually this happens when you use some GMPSoft products and have installed a more recent
version of one of them.
To resolve the situation you must download latest versions of all our products that
you use (updates are free). |
| |
| Q: |
I have received only Genesis 1 and not the rest of the Bible. What should I do?
|
| A: |
All GMPSoft products are full
functional shareware - all downloaded copies provide full functionality, so we can
assure you that you have downloaded the complete Bible. (We do not distribute copies of
our products containing only parts of the bible.)
For the complete instructions how to use Bible With You, read the User Guide (select
a Bible translation from GMPSoft's Products
List, go to it and click on User Guide button. |
| |
| Q: |
I receive a message: 'Duplicate Databases Found. This may cause problems in opening the
desired version. Removing the duplicates is recommended.' How can I remove the duplicates
referenced?
|
| A: |
This message alerts that the same database files were found in two or more different
locations of your device:
in RAM and on an expansion card, or
in different directories of the expansion card
The message only warns you but you could continue to use the application. Deletion
of duplicates is recommended so when you install updates, there will not be older files that
does not work with updated versions of the product.
To delete the files, please, read the manual of your device. Newer devices allow you to
manage the files of which the application consists (one .prc and one .pdb), while older
models can manage an application only as a whole. |
