I have been using Bible Windows, from Silver Mountain Software (John Baima),
for several years. I find that it offers all I need for serious exegesis.
BW *does* perform grammatical searches of the Greek New Testament, the
Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and the LXX, as well as Boolean string
searches of any other version included (RSV, NRSV, Darby, ASV, the Online
Bible texts, etc.). I particularly appreciate its support of the excellent
fonts from UniType, and its impressive speed. It also provides hot link
access to simple dictionaries for the Greek and Hebrew texts, plus the same
kind of links to Liddell and Scott's Intermediate Lexicon, Louw and Nida's
lexicon and Brown, Driver, Briggs for the appropriate texts.
