In reply to the gentleman who asked about copies of the Quran on computers,
here's an excerpt from an advertisement in the Winter 1987 issue of "Minaret":

  QURANBASE

  The QURANBASE program is a database containing the entire Quranic
  text-- Yusuf Ali's Translation.  The database includes a series of
  data query commands for quickly searching through the text.  The
  student of the Quran can quickly find a particular chapter or a 
  group of verses by entering a simple command.  The QURANBASE program
  locates verses by subject and by keyword as well.  All text is
  displayed in a window and may be independently viewed.
