[B-Greek] BDF omission in Logos/Libronix?

You were right. Bible="Mt 28.19" returned the results.
   
  However, one must type an exact verse number; multiple verses (e.g., lk 4:26,27) 
  won't work. BDF hardbound has an index reference for Luke 4:26,27, but to have 
  Logos list it, you have to separately search for lk 4:26 or lk 4:27, or join your 
  search with "or" - i.e., Bible="lk 4.26" OR Bible="lk 4.27".
   
  "lk 4" and "lk 4:" returns nothing; a book and chapter needs a verse to find a BDF 
  reference (unless I am again failing to use the write method/syntax).
  
Thanks!

  Probably (my guess), they assume that you can use the Logos search
capabilities. You can search BDF and enter **bible="john 3.16"** (without
the asterisks) to search for all the references to John 3:16 in that book.
That's just my guess, since I don't actually have BDF either in print or
electronically. They also didn't include the index volume (9) in the Ancient
Christian Fathers set for that reason.

Subject: [B-Greek] BDF omission in Logos/Libronix?

I bought a copy of Logos Libronix Blass-Debrunner-Funk (BDF) A GREEK GRAMMAR
OF THE NT AND OTHER EARLY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE at the Morris Proctor Camp
Logos in August, and installed it, and was told by Logos staff that I have
the latest version.

Today while using it I noticed that my "book" lacks the Reference Index
section for NT references. Under "III. Index of References" (the last entry
in the Table of Contents), it has (2), (3), and (4) for the Apostolic
Fathers, NT Apocrypha, and Pseudo-Clementine Literature indices,
respectively, just like my hardbound copy
- but it does not have (1) New Testament index!! This makes BDF a crippled
piece of software - i.e., I can't jump to specific texts that BDF discusses.


Any idea what's going on here?
