MyBible (formerly known as Scripture) is a Bible study eBook application for Palm OS.
MyBible started off on the Newton as The Message (not related to the Bible version of the same name), produced by Servant Software. This application later made it to the Palm and was named Scripture. Scripture featured the King James Version (which was free), the New International and New American Standard versions (which required a fee), and the Revised Standard Version (which was free but the user was required to mail a form to the Center for Computer Analysis of Texts division of the University of Pennsylvania for copyright reasons). Besides these versions, Scripture had support for bookmarks, footnotes, and a fast search engine.
In 1999, Servant Software licensed Scripture to Laridian, Inc., which renamed the product MyBible. In 2005, Laridian assumed all development, support, and sales. [1] [2]
In May 2003, Laridian released MyBible 3.0. This version added support for Christ's words in red, note taking, and support for then newer devices that used virtual Graffiti and high-resolutions such as 320x320 and 320x480.
On December 30, 2004, Laridian released MyBible 4.0. This new version dropped support for pre-Palm OS 5 devices. Split-screens were added, along with the ability to read reference books. A verse history function was added along with a dictionary lookup feature for Bibles. [3]
August 29, 2006, Laridian released MyBible 4.100 to accommodate the KJV and New American Standard Bible versions that incorporated Strong's numbers. This added a mode to display hyperlinked numbers next to words in the English translations by which someone could look up the original word in the Greek or Hebrew lexicon as a MyBible dictionary.
Microsoft Office, or simply Office, is a family of client software, server software, and services developed by Microsoft. It was first announced by Bill Gates on August 1, 1988, at COMDEX in Las Vegas. Initially a marketing term for an office suite, the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, OLE data integration and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand. On July 10, 2012, Softpedia reported that Office was being used by over a billion people worldwide.
Palm OS is a discontinued mobile operating system initially developed by Palm, Inc., for personal digital assistants (PDAs) in 1996.

Palm is an American technology company that developed and designed Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, and software. Palm devices are often remembered as "the first wildly popular handheld computers," responsible for ushering in the smartphone era. Palm's first PDAs ran the Palm OS, were smaller than competing handhelds, and proved to the industry that there was a market for a new category of portable computing device.
C++Builder is a rapid application development (RAD) environment, originally developed by Borland and as of 2009 owned by Embarcadero Technologies, for writing programs in the C++ programming language targeting Windows NT, macOS, iOS and Android. C++Builder combines the Visual Component Library and IDE written in Object Pascal with multiple C++ compilers. Most components developed in Delphi can be used in C++Builder with no or little modification, although the reverse is not true, but this constraint is valid only for source code. Binary code generated by Delphi can easily be linked to binary code generated by C++Builder and vice versa to generate an executable written in both Object Pascal and C++. With this approach, C++ can be called from Object Pascal and vice versa. Since both Delphi and C++ use the same back end linker, the debugger can single step from Delphi code into C++ transparently.

A mobile operating system is an operating system for mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, 2-in-1 PCs or other mobile devices. While computers such as typical laptops are 'mobile', the operating systems usually used on them are not considered mobile ones, as they were originally designed for desktop computers that historically did not have or need specific mobile features. This distinction is becoming blurred in some newer operating systems that are hybrids made for both uses.
Biblical software or Bible software is a group of computer applications designed to read, study and in some cases discuss biblical texts and concepts. Biblical software programs are similar to e-book readers in that they include digitally formatted books, may be used to display a wide variety of inspirational books and Bibles, and can be used on portable computers. However, biblical software is geared more toward word and phrase searches, accessing study bible notes and commentaries, referencing various modern translations, cross-referencing similar passages and topics, biblical dictionaries, original language texts and language tools, maps, charts, and other e-books deemed relevant to understanding texts from a philological approach.
