["Christopher V. Kimball" <transcriber AT tanach.us>]

The Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex at

http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml

has been modified to facilitate keyboard-free access and to provide 
easier copying of text to other documents. Compatibility with Internet 
Explorer 7 has been improved. The Hebrew text is unchanged.

   * *Relative text motions* can be obtained by clicking on the arrows
     at the bottom of the text display. The text motion depends on the
     number of verses in the display. Only text displays of 50 verses
     or less or a single chapter show the arrows and permit relative
     text motion.
         o If *n <= 50 * verses are in the initial display, clicking on
           an arrow will cause a text motion of *ceiling( n/2 )*. That
           is, if 5 verses are displayed and the right arrow is clicked
           the text will advance by 3 verses. The last two verses of
           the previous display remain in the new display as a
           reference. /The total number of the verses in the display is
           unchanged/ (5).
         o If a complete chapter is displayed, the text motion is to
           the next complete chapter without overlap.
   * *An additional layout, "Text",* is available in the "Layout"
     pull-down list. This layout is similar to the "Chapter" layout but
     /without/ chapter:verse labels, transcription notes, and line
     spacing on pe/samekh markers. This layout is an ideal for copying
     and pasting text into other documents.
   * The browser compatibility software, *Sarissa*, has been upgraded
     to version *0.9.7.6* which improves operation on Internet Explorer 7.

Due to a problem, the version of 02 Dec is no longer available, the 
Previous version link points to the version of 19 Oct.

Please advise of any problems you experience, particularly on Internet 
Explorer 7.
