[net.religion.jewish] Is the Torah on a computer?

    I am interested in a computer copy of the Torah in Hebrew.  Does anyone
have any information on this?  If so, could you please send electronic mail.

   Yes, the Torah is on computer. At the University of Md some of us
have been doing some statistical analysis on the tanach (zero and
first order statistics) to try and compute the likelihood of various
gematrias.In order to facilitate such study, we got a hold of a copy of
the tanach in Hebrew. It has some errors in it; also, there are extra
letters inserted in the text to represent the vowels. It is done in
Hebrew, although it has to be converted from an alphanumeric represen-
tation (for example, aleph is represented by an A bet by a B ,etc.).
   Anyone interested in a copy let me know. My address is arig@cvl.arpa.

Do you also have a copy of the Bible in English on computer?
I don't read Hebrew.  (I'd have sent this privately but your
address got so truncated I can't figure out a path to you.)
