In response to Steve Oren and Tim Phillips, I am resubmitting a 
message from Kirk Lowery sent to this list in September.

As I understand it, the text is simply the Leningrad text (when will 
people start calling it the St. Petersburg text?) I don't know about 
any upgrades. The setup I mentioned will work well on Windows 3.1.

Friends,

I promised to look into matters of the availability of the electronic version 
of
BHS and report back.

Here's what I've learned:

eBHS is still theoretically available, but presently not via download. Part 
of 
the cost of eBHS is due to the cost of media (diskettes), postage and 
handling.

At present the institution controlling the distribution of eBHS is the United 
Bible Societies (New York), and distribution for the most part has been 
through 
CCAT at the University of Pennsylvania, although not via download. I have 
been 
in contact with responsible persons at both institutions. They have expressed 
a 
real desire to see eBHS more easily available than it has been in the past, 
at 
the irreducible minimum of cost. What was news to me was that official 
discussions are underway to accomplish these ends. However, this process will 
take us to the end of the year, probably.

Since I am local to the University of Pennsylvania, I hope to meet 
face-to-face 
with the good folks there next week and see if there is anything we can do in 
the meantime. I'll report back when I have some more news.

Blessings,

Kirk
