SwordSearcher is a Bible Reference software package that runs on Windows

was released, version 3 was released as a Windows
program called SwordSearcher 95 and was apparently the first 32 bit Windows Bible Software available.
A port to the Mac OS was started but was later canceled.
A SwordSearcher module compiler, called Forge, is available.
