Logos5 and BW9

I have and use both platforms Logos 5 and BW 9. I tend to use BW 9 more often, but I have purchased many important modules on Logos such as HALOT, DDD, Anchor Bible, etc. Several years ago I did have the two programs talking to each other, so that I could set up a group of works on Logos, say DDD, HALOT, BDBriggs, Anchor Bible; then in BW I could click on an option and it would look up either that Hebrew lemma in HALOT or all the references to that passage in my Logos group. Now nobody seems to be able to do that anymore. Surely we cannot be expect to buy all these different soft wares such as HALOT ion print, one for Logos, one for BW? Can somebody help? I am an experienced computer user except when it comes to programming where I am as much a neophyte as naked Adam.

Hi Michael,

As I recall, Bibleworks built in a few links to Logos so they should be in the Resources Menu, Edit External Links selection. You can find out if they do work with Logos 5 by testing one of them. There should be a link to NA27 and one to KJV-both would link to Logos if you select a Bible reference in the Browse Window and then right click on it. There should be a list of viable links, one being the KJV in Logos. See if you can do that.

A few years ago, I set up a dozen or so links from BibleWorks 9 to Logos 4. Never did use them much. I will see if they work with Logos 5.

EDIT:

Most of the links I set up work with Logos 5. However, I was never able to link a Hebrew lemma to HALOT. I could link a Greek lemma in BW to TDNT in Logos, as well as to EDNT, NIDNTT, Complete Word Study Dictionary, Vine's. Also, I was able to link to a commentary in Logos when I selected a Bible reference in BibleWorks. All of this is done using the External Links feature in BibleWorks, not ERMIE.

Joan,

Could you give me a little direction on linking a lemma in BW to TDNT in Logos? That would be helpful.

Thanks

Norm,

I have pasted a screen capture below which is how the link was setup in BW. I did not originate this but copied it from a forum in BW several years ago. One thing I know, it works in Logos 5 with BW9.

Note: the following line is chopped off in the image. The full line reads as follows: EDIT

I tried this and other examples and nothing works. I'm assuming you all are using the Windows BW9 version, while I'm using BW9 Mac within WINE - perhaps that's why I'm not having any success.

Anyone in the forums using L5 and BW9 Mac within WINE successfully able to link the two?

Thanks.

One thing you can check on your end is to make sure all your characters are correct including spaces. I had to edit my response to fill in the rest of the file to open. Hope this helps.
