It's a terrific tool.ĭan - I've been reading you over at TP for a while now. So I used an icon editor and made my own, just so it could be distinctive. Need I say this is my most trivial "gripe"? The icon they use might be great full-size, but it looks like a bit of speckled tiling on the taskbar and especially Quick Launch. (I would hasten to add that, though I can't/don't use this feature, I get immense profit from the program, and enthusiastically recommend it nonetheless.) But I've raised this at the forum, and didn't elicit much sympathy among users.
I do think it could be done easier, using a GUI box with options to check. It's GUI, but it is - to me - indecipherable. Now, the brainiacs at the site (advanced users) use it, love it, probably think I'm a wimp for not "getting" it - but I don't. There is an Advanced Search Engine that I, so far, have been unable to learn. Now, it's all quite learnable, and they have very handy online reminders and context-sensitive help - it just would soften the learning-curve if it were standardized - or if it used a GUI box, as other programs do. It goes on, gets even more Byzantine, for more complex searches. If you want to search for the phrase "word of God," you don't type "word of God," as in a standard web or Windows search or check a box that says "All the words." You use an apostrophe, and type 'word of God. For instance, if you want to search for all occurrences of the word word, you don't type in word. The methods of searching are, to me, not intuitive, not patterned (say) on standard web or window searches.

(Oddly, you have to approva that BW will shut down - then you have to approve that it will shut down!) The program should check automatically and alert users to updates - as, for instance, AvantBrowser and other software does. You click on Help, then Check for updates, and then you find out whether there are any.

It is a really good feature that you can check online for updates - and the programmers frequently update the program and data files to improve, catch bugs, correct typo's. There are relatively minor changes I hope may be made in future editions. This version has a ton of them, and they tend to be more bite-sized, specific, and very helpful.

Suffice it to say here that I'm very enthused about this version, and heartily recommend it to any serious student, particularly to anyone who's a student of the original languages. You get the BHS4 Hebrew OT, and Nestle-Aland27/UBS4 Greek NT, as well as Robinson-Pierpont Greek New Testament (Byzantine Textform 2005), Scrivener's, Stephanus', and other variations in both Testaments.īut wait - there's a virtual-ton more. What they don't have is the Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic resources built in to BW7.

Now, free tools such as the valuable E-Sword also have a lot of free versions.
