Are there any machine readable versions of Quran?
I just called a firm called Applied Microsystem Technology
which used to make a package called Salsabil for the PC.
It has arabic characters appearing on a CGA screen
with the whole text of the Quran and some rudimentary search facilities.
However I was told the package has been withdrawn for various
technical and copyright (!) reasons.
A new bug-free version is due Nov 1989. The problem is that it is
only to be marketed in the middle east.
The question : are there other packages? And where / how can I get
hold of them?

I got the Bible (ot & nt) from utank.chicago, and wrote a quick search script and would really like an on-line Quran, too.
