Is there a copy of the BHS on the web I can download sections from

I'd be interested to see responses to this. I'm not sure if there are other, more direct sites for this, but I assume that for strictly personal use many use basic ASCII text from sites such as gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu:3333/11/Religious/Biblical/.
This may take a bit of old-fashioned manual editing. First, depending on operating system, you probably will need to convert upper case text to lower case. Next, make sure the letters are converted to right-to-left arrangement. Then, if you wish to view the text in Hebrew script, you can set the font format using a font of the standard Michigan-Claremont format, such as SPTiberian.ttf in a Windows setting. Finally, you may need to check for minor differences in fonts (i.e., some use $ for shin, while others use #).
There are other sites where you can also access the BHS for personal reading copied from text/html format to WordPerfect or Word if you have the corresponding font(s) in your fonts directory. I'm interested in finding out what others have to say on more time-efficient methods (switching case, right-to-left, etc.).
Thank you all,
