No, not even remotely possible.

Good question. I was in a quite promising dialogue, but suddenly again
total silence.
I send a reminder mail a week or so ago, but no response.

Ok, I tracked them down and have a telephone number.
It is published well enough, though I think it is probably not wise to
publish it here given the widespread archiving etc of the mailing list.
I also tried to phone them right now, but no one responds. Not sure why,
should be working still.
Peter,
Do I understand you live in Germany? The people claiming to own the
copyright are in MA. Is that who you got the phone # of?

Exporting the text is not an issue. Several tools are available to do that.

One way to alleviate the burden of proof reading - and i am think out

Chris, great:)
However, as peter said, I am not sure the people at arabicbible.com
have the right to determine who can and who cannot distribute it.
It's your choice to be safe, though.
I know David had emailed the webmaster there about it, but I am not
sure if he heard back.

A new module would need to be created.

I would think if the Van Dyke is public domain so this is , unless there
are more profound revisions done. In fact all printed editions I have

I think then the assertion
The van Dyke translation is from 1865 IIRC. So all copyrights are well
gone and it is quite impossible to assert any kind of copyrights simply
on the act of format shifting from paper onto MS word or e-sword. This
would be ludicrous.
The problem i see is that the text might after all _not_ be the

That indeed is right.
But my experience is that you get more if you are able to demosntrate
that you are actually capable of using it. I.e. a working module goes a
long way to convince people.

Possibly the person to ask is Johnathon here on the mailing list who

But I think the general principle here is to start from the original
e-text and not from someone else's modules for other software.
Hi friends,
I was wondering how to get the vowels to display in the ASV module?
You can see the vowels of the more recent Arabic bible, the Arabic
life application bible, like here with Genesis 1:1
فِي الْبَدْءِ خَلَقَ اللهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ،
here it is without the vowels
