	I'd have to check again, admittedly it has been a few years since I tried. I recall there were issues, I'd just need to revisit what they were.

	Interesting, I am not familiar with it, but it sounds useful.

	The big problem there, from a seminary student's perspective, is that we are required to use BHS. If there is a variant reading and I don't catch it, it could cause me trouble. Now, after I graduate in December, I suppose it could do in a pinch, since I don't plan on doing any published Hebrew work!

	Having morphological tagging is awfully handy, not only as a cheat sheet, but also for doing rapid word studies. Does Xiphos allow searching for grammatical constructions these days?

	This is a similar issue. We are only allowed to use BDB or HALOT as our primary lexicon. I do see where it would be difficult, however. Accordance only finally got the full text about a year ago, previously it had an abridged version.

	I don't mean this to be a critique of your work. Rather, it is the ugly reality of non-standard modules across the industry, I think. It does make using a SWORD-based program difficult for people like me, however.
