  Subject: [sword-devel] Updated NASB and Text Formats

  Searching for information following the recent discussion about
  copyrights, I discovered that The Lockman Foundation has an updated
  (1995) NASB. It has the same copyright as the 1971 NASB. The version
  removes the "thees" and "thous" in the Psalms and makes the text much
  more readable (not awkward like the old NASB). They are discontinuing
  their BibleMaster software (in favor of a Logos system) and are making
  copies of BibleMaster (originally $340) available for $19.99 including
  free shipping (see attached HTML page). Is this a version that should =
be
  considered for inclusion with Sword? I think The Lockman Foundation is
  more lenient in its interpretation of copyrights than Zondervan. =
Whether
  its distributed or not, I'd be interested in converting it to Sword
  format for my own use. Are text formats, conversion routines =
available?
  (Of course, until I get the CD I won't know what format the new NASB =
is
  in.) Thanks...Bill
