Sure: ftp://eBible.org/pub/new/tokpisinsf.zip has a copy of it (or at least it will once the upload I just started finished). I'm not confident that verse bridges are handled correctly in this copy, as they look like one or more empty verse followed by a really long verse. For example, Ezekiel 48:30-34 is translated as a unit, so any references to Ezekiel Ezekiel 48:30 should bring up the text in Ezekiel 48:34. Maybe this should be marked as
\v 30-34 Bikpela...
instead.
