General Information

All FTP transfers are logged. If you are not comfortable with that, please do not download Bibles or references from our site.

The Bibles in this directory are marked up with HTML 4.0 constructs. The Bibles are divided into separate files for each book. Within each book, each verse is contained in a single line. Each verse is tagged with a unique tag to allow any verse to be located in a particular book and displayed by a browser immediately. This format also makes it easy to write scripts which extract one or more verses from the source files. Note that this additional tagging information does add to the storage size required for each Bible.

All Reference Materials are marked up with HTML 4.0 constructs. Generally, 50 topics from each source are grouped per file. Within each file, each topic is contained in a single line. Some topics are extremely large, and may blow up certain word processors which can't handle 200k line lengths gracefully. We had to recompile micro-Emacs in-house to support them ourself. Each topic is tagged for easy access from the associated index pages.

On our site, the Reference Materials and the Douay-Rheims and Darby Bibles make use of extensive scripting to reduce the volume of information presented to the user whenever possible. For this reason, we provide all materials in two formats.

A local copy can be wonderful. If you are going to open up every file we have and save a local copy anyway, this is the way to do it. There are many versions of these files available on CD-ROM - I personally find that the Bible Explorer Version 2.0 works well. These have the advantage of not taking up disk space, and being a fairly reliable medium which doesn't need backed up periodically. However, many of these have apparently obtained their source files from the same source as us, and there are errors in them that we are trying to correct on our site.

For copyright information about our HTML additions, please see our Copyright statement.

The zip'd files have been compressed by a utility which presumably produces PC compatible files. The gzip'd files require Unix gzip and tar to properly extract. If you just want to see the format of our source, please use the view source function of your browser on a topic reference or small Bible book like Jude instead of downloading the archives.
