</head><body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">I have just received a RTF
document that ostensibly contains the transcribed text of the true 1569
Bible of Casiodoro de Reina. It's over 15MB in size, and looks to
require a substantial amount of work to make it a usable text (even
leaving aside the spelling inaccuracies that were retained
intentionally). Incidentally, the entire body of Deuterocanonical books
is also available for this work.<br>
<br>
It currently requires a special font to view all of the uncommon
characters. I'll make sure to have that available. <br>
