<pre wrap=""><!---->It is the intention of bible.org that there should be a free NET bible module for Sword with a limited set of notes (the first few verses of each book, I think) and a version with the full notes that is available for the payment of a small fee to bible.org. I'm looking forward very much to its release - the NET bible and notes is one of my most cherished bible resources.
God bless,

Barry states it correctly: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.Bible.org">www.Bible.org</a> has just finished, after 10
yrs and several millions of dollars, the <a
href="http://www.bible.org/default.asp?scid=3">First Edtion</a> of the
<a href="http://www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm">NETBible</a> see our
NETBible page <a href="http://www.bible.org/default.asp?scid=3">http://www.bible.org/default.asp?scid=3
</a>. We are now working on (with Barrys help) two NETBible sword
modules. to add to the various versions that can be <a
href="http://www.bible.org/page.asp?page_id=3086">downloaded for free </a>or
purshased at resonable costs off the <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.bible.org">www.bible.org</a> site.. <br>
1- a free NETBible Sword module with the full NETBible text and limited
notes approxiamently 3 per chapter plus i hope a link to any of the
notes that are not included so even the free version has access from
our web site all the notes<br>
2- a for pay version premium version that has the full NETBible text
and all 60,000+ plus notes. + some extras<br>
In addition to the above we are working on puting the NETBible in a
data base and making it and its notes searchable. If any of you would
like to become alphas testers on that register for the <a
href="http://www.netbibleinstitute.com/forum/index.php">www.bible.org/forum</a>
and join forum discussion 8e1 . We would love to have help in
specifying the requirements that go into the next gerneration on-line
bible and what you would like to see incorporated in our Sword
development/<br>
3- I have a call into Troy to see if we need to do anything formally
with crosswire.org <br>
