As the Subject Line states it well, I would like information on the FTP address and directory of where I can get the a copy of the Bible on-line. I tried utank.chicago.edu, but the file was not where it was reported to be. Any help would be appreciated. -----------------------------------------------------------------------

[I have been informed that the copy on utank (indeed I believe utank itself) is no longer available. I've removed it from the list. As far as I know, the simtel-20 copy is still there. You'll find a posting later giving a location in Finland and asking for a volunteer site to make it available in the U.S. (among other things). --clh]

I tried utank.chicago.edu, but the file was not where it >was reported to be. Any help would be appreciated. A King James version of the Bible is available by anonymous ftp from volcano.Berkeley.EDU. The directory is /pub/Library/Bible. The format is not the best -- each of the books is put in a separate file, and the chapter and verse numbers are prominently displayed at the beginning of each line. It makes for easy referencing, but it's hard to read straight through as a text. Hope this helps, - Andrew Jeung Disclaimer: My opinions and UCB's opinions do not necessarily form an intersecting set. [From your description, this looks like the same thing as the Simtel20 copy. I've added it to my list. Thanks. --clh]

As a follow up to this, I have been informed that this file is
available in Finland, and is 1,663,398 bytes. To this extent I
am looking for 1) A US server that might be willing to cut the
file in two or more; 2) A server that might be willing to put
the file on 1/2 inch tape; 3) An individual that would be willing
to chop the file into 20 parts and email it to me over a course
of a reasonable time period to be determined later.
If anyone is interested the file is in Finland at:
=================== INCLUDED EMAIL ============================
You can find it in funic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) in directory
~ftp/pub/doc. Filename in bible.tar.Z.
