I've seen several posts about Rapier and other Bible software, so I've decided to make mine available to those that are interested. It is cross platform and runs in Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X so porting to the N800 was a simple recompile.

It runs as a web server on your device and you connect to it through your web browser. Unless you firewall it (don't ask me about that) it also will serve pages to anything else that connects to it.

It has the full NT Greek text as well as an English translation (LXX and Hebrew have not been implemented). You can do Strong's number searches as well as full parsing searches on Greek words.

To use:
1. Extract the archive
tar xzf bibleserver.n800.tgz

2. cd to the directory you extracted to
cd bibleserver

3. start the server
./bs

4. connect to the server in your web browser
http://localhost:4567

The file bibleserver.conf can be edited to change the translations in use as well as the port number you prefer to connect to.

You will also need a good unicode font to display the pointing in the Greek text (I use Palatino Linotype).

No optimizations were performed to account for this platform so it is slower than the desktop versions.

If you are interested in using this, you can download it at ftp://headthirst.com/pub/bibleserver.n800.tgz
