BibleWorks is in good shape for this, and we will soon release a full 圆4 Mac Installer dmg. The coming macOS versions require 64-bit programs.

Compatibility updates will be provided through the normal updater mechanism within the program. This will ensure that you can continue to use the program for the long term. We will, Lord willing, continue to provide compatibility fixes for BibleWorks 10 well into the future. If you have a valid license for BibleWorks 10 you can continue to use the program as usual. Also the virtual XP instance memory was increased from 512K to 768K which greatly improved performance for apps such as Bibleworks.Can I continue to use BibleWorks on a PC? Also from other Mac users I have learned that the Mac needs at least 2gig of Ram on the Mac to make virtualization work as expected. I can have Word or Open Office running on the Mac and cut and paste from Bibleworks on the virtual windows machine without any issues.

A nice feature of Parallels is the Coherence (along with the parallel tools ) features that allows the Mac and virtual machine to share the same desktop. Bibleworks starts up slow, but after the load and the virtual machine adjusts memory allocations it appears to run the same as it did on my HP laptop before I changed to the MacBook Pro. I have been using Bibleworks v7 in a virtual XP Pro sp2 768K instance that operates on my Mac using Parallels (both versions 3 or 4) for over 2 years. This is the most stable environment I have experienced using a Mac with virtual OS's and Bibleworks for Windows.

I've read that you should use Vista rather than XP for the CrossOver bottle, but I can't find a copy of Explorer that will run in a Vista bottle. I've reinstalled in a new bottle (XP) and still no joy. BW8 now crashes every time I try to run it.

#BIBLEWORKS 7 ON MAC INSTALL#
I've had a very stable CrossOver install for the past few months, but when I upgraded to Snow Leopard something changed.

But just a bit too slow to work with for hours a day. I agree that BW on Virtual Box (and I assume VMWare from what you've said) is a memory / processor hog. I used Virtual Box on both platforms with a Wine install as a backup. I've been running BW 8 on a MBP for a few months now.
