	I wasn't to concerned with a translation. MTR is great, just don't like the 
interface and I think that the sword interface would work well. I still don't 
see how mechon-mamre could possibly hold copyright on their texts (other than 
their translations) They claim that they have the most accurate, close to the 
original texts and claim to hold copyright on them. Go figure.
