File locations -- Running Alpha and Windows version (on Parallels)

I purchased the Mac version a while ago and just upgraded to v4.

I installed the Alpha version for Mac, downloaded the new books and waited for it to index. I then installed the Windows engine on Parallels.

QUESTION -- How do I tell the Windows engine where to find my books, indexes, etc. on the Mac side? Is it possible for the Mac and Windows engine to share the same book / index files ?

You can point it to the directory to discover and copy the resources (I think), but they are not able to share the same books or index files.

That looks like more than one question. [:D]

The Windows engine will not find your resources and indexes on the Mac side. It will download them all over again.

Afraid not.

Have fun anyway. The latest drop of the Mac Alpha (A5) shows a great deal of progress over A4. At least it did on my machine. It is still Alpha and therefore buggy and prone to crash.
