[soc.religion.christian] Looking for NIV and NAS text

wainscot@math.berkeley.edu (Brian Wainscott) (11/05/90)

I am currently looking for the text of the NIV and NAS bibles for my PC.
I cannot afford to purchase an online bible.  I should soon have permission
from the copyright holders of one or both of the above to own a copy for
my personal use.  This will take care of the legalities of obtaining the
text.  However, there still remains the problem of FINDING such.  Basically,
my plea is this:

  Would anyone out there be able to get me a copy of the text for either
NIV or NAS?  (Many comercial online bibles contain this text, so I know some
of you have it.  I am particularly interested in NAS, although they seem less
likely to grant me a copyright release.)  I have a PC with 1.2M and 360K
floppies.  I will gladly mail you floppies and pay shipping, as well as
document my legal right to obtain the copy.

Please respond through Email. (wainscot@math.berkeley.edu)  Thank you

[Unfortunately the commercial online Bibles are normally licensed such
that the user is forbidden to give any copies.  You'd need someone who
had gotten the text in some other way.  I believe there may be a
couple of folks who have a copy of the NIV in a form that might be
appropriate.  I encourage them to contact you directly.  --clh]
