The Church has finally produced a CD-ROM of its magazines (which have been available on the web here). Tieing these two products into one Folio infobase would have been much better.

Having it split up into two separate products that don't even use the same software is counterproductive and limits the potential of both sets of information. They should have just put the content from this 'product' into the LDS Magazines infobase-based product. It just doesn't have a polished feel to it. My opinion: The interface is kind of funny. Retail price: $5.00 (Available from Distribution) Screenshots: startup interface, Genesis 1, search options, search results This product is falling into the 'more legalese than content' category. Now, the problem with all of this is that the text of the scriptures is entirely in the public domain, and can be copied without 'permission' or 'license agreement.' But, their 'license agreement' does not make any distinction about this at all. Now, the best part: 'Licensor makes no warranties, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and specifically no warranties or representations are made with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the data.'

You have to agree with the terms before opening the package, or else they recommend you 'promptly return it unopened to the place of purchase for a full refund. There isn't any corresponding Table of Contents or anything like that.Īlthough this might not be the most appropriate place, I'm going to mention a few things about the 'License Agreement' that is on the back of the cd jewel. You have to use the text-based hyperlinks to get to anything. The interface supports font scaling, but there isn't any shortcut to it, like in Folio with ctrl-mouse wheel. This is the only LDS-targeted product to have this. The best part about this whole product is the fact that it gives you the scriptures in English, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Other than having the pre-built hyperlinks, you can't add any personal touches to it to enhance your study of the scriptures. It has the full quad, with full footnotes, as well as the Topical Guide, Bible Dictionary, and the international 'Guide to the Scriptures,' as well as the maps, photographs, etc.įor those of you used to Folio's abilities, WordCruncher doesn't support user-added hyperlinks, notes, highlighters, etc. This is based on WordCruncher, and not Folio. This is a different product than the $3 LDS Magazines CD-ROM. Of course, this will all be effected by my longstanding use of several software packages, and my lack of experience with others. I will try to give a fair review of each program. There are many LDS-related software packages that use the Folio Views Software (of one form or another).
