5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Product, May 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: PC Study Bible Reference Library Plus 3.0 (CD-ROM)

I have used PC Study Bible for a good 10 years and there is no question that this is the easiest to use software available for the money. Unlike other software programs, all resources are automatically linked so you can immediately go to a related reference or references in commentaries, the Hebrew or Greek, etc. Plus, in every resource, there is a window to view verses so you don't have to go back to the Bible program. You can also view up to 8 versions of the Bible at one time. I could go on and on.

I noticed the reviewer who rated it only two stars had a problem with it but that is because the new version is so hefty, you simply have to have a more recent computer. I had some initial problems with the new version as well (didn't work with NT and 2000) but they have cleared all these up and it now runs like a charm (all new versions have the update).

No question...this is the best product for any layperson who doesn't want to do verb parsing, etc. There simply isn't anything that works as well and is as easy to use.

This review is from: PC Study Bible Reference Library Plus 3.0 (CD-ROM)

Frankly, I've been somewhat disappointed with this software. Lots of translations for the money, and Barnes' Notes are excellent, but there are lots of flaws and annoyances. Most notable is what appears to be a memory leak: system resources are constantly low even after opening only 3-4 screens (this on a 1Ghz PIII w/256M RAM and 30G free disk). Another example is that you cannot do a FIND within a window. The Henry commentary is somewhat difficult to search as you look for commentary on a specific verse. You get the idea. The contents are there, but the execution, the "glue," isn't all that great.
