Back in 2006-2088 I built NIV and a few other modules that used links to ' m.biblegateway.com' to pull 'restricted' texts into parallel displays. It worked pretty well, but then biblegateway changed schemes a bit... Those dinosaurs are still lurking out on Archive.org somewhere. On Sat, Mar 19,

STEP should be able to do that. After all it runs a local web server and shows the results in the user’s browser. — DM > On Mar 19, 2016, at 12:07 PM, David Haslam wrote: > > This might seem like a peculiar question, but it's not as daft as it seems. > > Are there any
