This has the Douay-Rheims, KJV with complete OT, Greek Septuagint (in Greek) and a variety of Greek NT versions. Very user-friendly. Thought some of you might like to know. :)

I have the out-of-'print' RSV with Deutercanon for e-sword. PM me if you would like it.

I really wish e-sword had ECFs and other Orthodox content available. Is Outrage that you can get Foxes book of revisionist Church History but there is no Prologue of Ohrid et. al.

Have you tried using it yet? I'm just wondering if it can translate the Greek. It shows passages in Greek, but doesn't give a direct English translation of it.....or perhaps it does. This is what I'm wondering about. :)

Yeah, but isn't the NASB from e-sword a $20 download? Free is better to me.

Installation is pretty straightforward. IIRC run the esword.exe install to get the basics installed. Later run each self extracting Bible/Addon. It should find the proper directory to install the addon. To get a new Bible to show up you must restart e-Sword.

Note: The RSVA and I think the KJVA Deutero's are not searched when using the search function :( IIRC this is a bug.

It doesn't translate, but I thought perhaps some of our Greek experts might like to have those. (I downloaded them, too, just in case I actually ever get around to learning to read Greek. Who knows?)
