It may be a good analysis of Windows Bible software--but it ignores the
existence of Accordance and is therefore useless for purposes of Mic
Walker's question. In addition to that article therefore, he might find it
useful to look at the article by David Lang at the Christian Mac User's
Group website:

This gives at least some idea of what Accordance can do, although it shows
the capacities of the program at work only upon English texts; what it does
with Greek and Hebrew texts it does superbly.
