I passed on Bible Works (just about the only Bible software I don't own) because my interest was in phasing out a 5,000 volume print library and replacing it with an electronic one rather than a specialty high-end exegesis tool. Logos is a VERY good program that can do just about anything you want of it, including sophisticated searching. The selling point for me, however, is that it has an enormous library of resources including just about every major commentary series, sys theo, reference work, etc. At present I have more than 4,100 volumes on Libronix, organized for quick searching under dozens of specialty collections: Pink, Kuyper, Apologetics, Barth, Berkouswer, Boice, Calvin, Church History, Geisler, Luther, MacArthur, Piper, Puritans, Sproul, Spurgeon, Sys Theo, Van Til, etc.
If you are interested, get the free download and give it a test run before deciding on purchasing. Actually, if you want digital books, you can always download the Wordsearch and a couple of hundred books for free, download e-Sword and 650 resources for free; AND download Libronix and add several hundred free PBB files before deciding on an expensive Bible study platform.
BTW, I'm sitting here at my computer wearing a Logos Bible Softwre t-shirt!
I have both Libronix (Logos) and Bibleworks, having purchased Logos first some ten years ago. I bought the Level Four which, at the time, was the most extensive package available. For a while it worked okay, but has always been (and still is) a hog for RAM. My PC always acted sluggish running it, as though in birth pains. I added many features to this original package, the Early Church Fathers, the Theological Journal Library, and a CD from the Christian Classics Foundation, and the Van Til CD.I'm seriously considering getting a bible software program for SERIOUS bible study. I had heard a radio show (infomercial perhaps?)featuring the LOGOS bible study software. Anyways I was wondering if that's the best or is there something better out there?
Where is the free download?
How does one upload the free downloads that refbaptdude linked to up to Libronix?
To be eligibile, you must own an RA version Series X collection, Christian Home Library, Bible Study Library, Original Languages Library, Pastor's Library, or Scholar's Library.
* If you own a QB, OC, or ND version Series X collection, you already have this reader key.
* Users of the Logos Library System Scholar's Library who have not upgraded to a Logos Series X base package will not have access to the PBB Reader key.
The free personal book builder reading key is not available for this Libronix Customer ID.
2) BW is created by Reformed Presbyterians if that matters to you.
Yep Seb. I tried entering the Customer ID that is under the Help/About Lib tab and it was not accepted.
Bummer indeed.

Really? My Greek professor did the complete NT diagrams for BW 7, and he is a Dispensational Baptist.

After refusing for a long time even to consider Bibleworks, I finally made the change in software to it, and have never regretted it.
However, recently, my PC died and I purchased a new one with Vista. Though I had used the Folio software for other versions of the Early Church Fathers and the Same Theological Journal Library, Vista will no longer permit me to use that old software (something to do with Vista's 64 bit), so now I have had to revert back to using Libronix. Since this change, and my attempt to revive the use of Libronix, I have had nothing but trouble. I spent four hours yesterday on the phone (three hours one day last week) with a "level two" technician for Libronix (Logos), and it was a very frustrating experience. Now , to be sure, the technician was very kind, patient, and eager to help me resolve the technical problems I'm having. But even she was stumped time and time again.
Yes, Libronix provides an extensive library and tools. But if you're going to use it with Vista, I recommend that you set aside a great deal of time, pray for the patience of Job, and purchase at least 4 gigs of RAM for your PC, and count on other unforeseen factors of difficulty.
But if you're looking for software that runs fast with very good efficiency, Bibleworks is the way to go in my opinion.

I hope you don't mean Dr. Dyer (your signature says you are a GPTS student).
That it was developed by RP's is what I was told by a former fellow student who knew the church in question (and he proposed it as a selling feature). Bibleworks like most software packages includes lots of 3rd party work, but the core development came from members of a PCA church if I was not totally misinformed. Ask Andy (GPTS librarian) about it - he may know more if you are interested.
