Answers:

  1. Will the Online Bible install correctly under Windows VISTA?
     
    If you use Online Bible 2.10 or later you should not have a problem. You can download a free update of the Online Bible software from the download library. This update will work with cd-roms not older then 2 years. If you use a cd-rom/dvd with version 2.10, please download first a new update of the software. Thousends of users already installed the Online Bible under Vista without a problem. In a few cases people reported a problem for which we have a workaround.

  2. Will Online Bible run under Windows 98?
     
    Windows 98 is no longer officially supported by us. We do not test the software under Windows 98. We do not look for solutions if an user reports a problem. We even do not have a computer with Windows 98 installed. But people report us from time to time they are still apreciating the use of Online Bible under Windows 98. Just give it a try. There is a high change it will still work within a few limitations.

  3. Do you have a program for the Palm operating system?
     
    No, not at the present time. Please go to the Importantia Publishing website for an overview of Bibles and eBooks available for Palm, Smartphones, Blackberry and other PDA's.

  4. Are there any plans to port The Online Bible to Linux?
     
    There are some plans to convert the Pocket Online Bible sources (which runs under .NET) towards a Linux edition, which brings at least a Linux-reader. No time schedule known at this moment.

  5. Is there a Mac edition of the Online Bible?
     
    The Mac edition is currently not available in Europe. We are waiting for the final release of a complete new edition for OS X. There is no time schedule for this release.
