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
