Now -- Mac heads

I use Parallels to run Windows XP on my Mac in order to use Libronix/LOGOS Bible study software. Now I have downloaded and installed the Mac ALPHA version (Alpha scares me, I have to tell you... I realize that as long as M-soft is in business we are all ßeta sites, but ALPHA...) and I would like to move/copy the Windows Libronix resources to the proper Application Support directory for the Mac version to recognize them.

Problem: I have no idea where Parallels stored those resources.

Anybody?

I am not sure about parallels or how the substructure works, but if it is a virtual file system and you can copy between, then you will go to the "C: drive"/Program Files/Libronix DLS/Resources folder (default installation.)

then drag/copy them Library/Application Support/Libronix DLS/Resources on your startup volume if you have multiple drives.

but that's assuming parallels allows direct file system access to the "windows side" from the "mac side".

the files may be of various extensions/types, depending on your resources:
.lbxlls - typical 32bit library resource with built in index
.lbxvid - video resource but will also have corresponding "Baggage" file
.lbxbag - baggage file (the raw data for a specific resource type)
.LSF - 8/16 bit resource library file for older books (third party, as all Logos books will have been otherwise converted to .lbxlls)
.LIX - this is the other "half" of the older resource files - this is the corresponding index file for the old resources.
.lbxaub - audio bible file resource. (you may also have a media folder with .MP3's and other "media" files that will need to be copied in total)
.lbxadd - add-in's if you have purchased them. I have them all, so don't know what comes with a default system.
.lbxclv and other miscellaneous files for sentence diagramming and special needs for add-ins etc.
